Photo of the Week: Northeast Off-Piste

It’s mid-winter, and with an above-average (and growing!) snow pack coating most of our northeastern mountain areas, the off-piste terrain at all elevations is skiing incredibly well. (The powder, chopped-powder and packed-powder conditions at most northeastern ski areas are also well worth skiing!) Creeks and brooks are filling in, the brush and logs of the forest floor are now buried under feet of snow, and many ledges, pillow lines and ice flows are now wonderfully skiable. The skiing in the northeast – and the tremendous variety that characterizes it – is in its element right now. Let’s hope this incredible streak of cold, snowy weather keeps up!
