Darn! Why do I have to be at work this week? Ever notice how the good dumpages this year fall on holidays? Valentines, St. Patrick's, Holy Week/Easter.

Notice something with the forecasts for this upcoming storm? They all say Maine gets the most. Sorry NH and VT. It happens. It's nothing to be ashamed of, you just don't have as many inches.

The rain here in Boston just turned to heavy snow.

snoseek, I was planning to be "sick" on Thursday and Friday but no go. Chained to the office and looks like I'll have to ski tracked up snow on Saturday. Save some for me at the River, will you?

no worries, this weekend the river will be real nice. this heavy stuff grooms well and should make for some nice bump skiing. also it sort of looks unsettled for the next 3 or 4 days.

What a terrible, TERRIBLE thing to have....groomed, fresh snow.

Seriously...skiing this stuff untracked is tiring and not fun. It is wet and heavy. Groom it up for me any day.
