Looks like Thursday is going to amazing. Snow starts slowly tomorrow morning then cranks Tuesday night into Wednesday, ends Thurs morning, then blue skies real cold temps which will suck the moisture out and leave very light powder. The weather gal on WCAZ said we are going to set a new record for most snowfall in February in northern Vermont.

Hmmmm. Randi and I were planning on heading to Loon on Friday as we have some free passes to burn. But we also have some free passes to Magic. What is the outlook for Magic?

Then again maybe we will just head up and ski the MRV. Such hard choices!
