Mount Greylock - Thunderbolt Trail

Boarded the grand-daddy of backcountry ski trails in MA yesterday. It was incredible! The trail is celebrating it's 75 anniversary with a big race on February 20, 2010. A local ski group has spruced up the trail with signs indicating the historic features of the run and even installed a snow fence in one section. On most days, you will be greeted with a hearty fire in the stone cabin's fireplace at the summit - reached after a 2 hour hike up the trail. The snow condition was good with powder at the top, some crunch in the middle and then packed powder towards the bottom of the run.
