Grab the powder skis folks...this weekend is looking great...6-14 inches from this storm...and another 6" or so to freshen it up on Friday night...

Winter is FAR from over!!!!

I am also thinking MRG for Wednesday. How are the winds looking? Seems like we MRG should be fine as winds have not really entered the discussion yet? Still betting against Jay though but still a tough decision... as I only usually ride the Jet and Bonnie and wind hold on the tram and freezer is only a bonus. Road conditions may be a factor as interstate most of the way is a heck of a lot easier than east-west travel outside a major Route number in NH/VT during a snow storm. Choices choices.

I heard on WDEV that wind will be a factor on Wednesday....

Giddyup, folks!

I'm heading into that big blue blob in a few more hours. I'm more worried about the drive than anything. Now to troll around the 'dak's to see what is happening there.

GrilledSteezeSandwich · Feb 26, 2008, 8:19 AM

I have some ski buddies on their way to Okemo and staying slopeside and it looks like they'll wake up to some fresh powder.

I'm a few miles from ABE in eastern PA and we had a quick period of snow..and now it's a sleet and rain..wow VT is having quite the season..81 inches at the Mansfield stake so it could hit over 100 inches including this weekends storm. It's going to be a great late winter/spring up north for sure..

JD · Feb 26, 2008, 8:39 AM

Yep. Snowiest december and february on record. The paddleing this spring will be great but in the mean time let's shred some pow. Tomorrow's not going to suck.

I'm sure most of you have seen this or something similar already....
