Cochran's Ski Area, Vermont

Sunday, March 31, 2019

TGFS SL w/ 4 athletes. Really challenging weatherwise. Day started in the high 40s and overcast, and then warmed up to nearly 60 and began pouring rain. The rain continued throughout the day, but cooled into the mid-30s around 1 PM, and the rain let off around 2:30 to close out the race.

Race surface was surprisingly fantastic - hard and grippy - but the T-Bar line was a real struggle. Really losing snow quickly. I basically slid around all day to support the race and athletes, but I did get one good run on "Race Trail" (skiers right of the T-Bar) sans poles - was able to make some pretty good turns on the super dull '15 SLs.

Overall a fun day. I'm hoping I get another day in NE this year, so that isn't the end of my eastern season...
