Corn season is coming

The long term forecast for Whiteface looks like Corn season will soon be here.

Personally I'm a big fan of corn snow skiing.  I love the creamy feel of perfect corn that is totally ego snow.  I also like the tactical aspect of figuring out what aspects and elevations to hit when to get it just right.  Immature corn (aka boiler plate) and over cooked corn is not so fun but that makes getting it right just that much more rewarding.

It also means beers on the deck after skiing which I think is such a great part of Whiteface's spring vibe.

Who is with me?

I love Corn season, I just hope we get pow for another month or two first.

I thought there would be a Spring feeling at Whiteface this weekend...instead, just great carving conditions on the entire mountain.  After this weekend my winter skiing is complete, bring on the Spring scene.

I'm with ML on this one.  After skiing nice pow conditions for the past few days I could wait until april for spring conditions.  Another 12-18 this week would be more my speed.  I do like beers on the the deck in the sun though.

As a general note to people, don't be afraid to take out the fat skis for corn season. You get less fatigued, and you can ski longer, if you want to. I'm usually okay showing up at 10:00 when everything is softening up, skiing until 2, and heading to the deck to drink beers in the sun.

Can't wait for the corn season..Warm sun , soft snow and less crowds..

like that

Yes fat is better for corn.  I'm looking forward to using my new 98mm under waist to slay some corn.

To Scotty's point that its still cold up top - one of the great things about Whiteface is that it is corn season on Mt Run and Winter on the summit in mid March.
