We always get screwed in CT...well, last season at least. I mean, looking at the big pictures (or should I say "radar loop" in this case) all that matters to me is that VT gets hammered and it stays all snow. But it does kind of stink when we're getting a good amount of snow here in CT, then that dreaded "mix" rolls in and keeps totals down.

We had two decent one foot powder days in CT last year. The one that really stood out was February 22. Bumps on Temptor were just seeded. I skied from 3 pm until closing during the dump. Best day/night at Sundown ever!

odd man out?

You know, if we were having this conversation with "normal" people, they'd be sending the Department Social Services over to rehabilitate us.

I just had another one of those "I wish it was warmer, gee, I wouldn't miss the snow at all" hallway conversations. I had to run back to my office to barf....


I want one of those mother-of-all-storms that paralyzes the northeast for a week. You know, phone lines down, no electricity in the flatlands, impassable roadways. I'll do everything I can to be "stranded" up north, where the woodchucks come to work and say, "a-yup there's a little snow out there today. guess I'll have to plow tonight when I get home..." I'd be in perfect company...

The resorts can never win. They'll get the complaints "its too deep".

Me too! I love snow storms!

All my non-skiing acquaintances look like they want to hit me when I start talking like that.
