The Official 2/26 - 2/27 Storm Discussion Thread

this storm is running at a nice speed. There will be lots of time to dump lots of pow. I expect that my wednesday trax (and any groomer's track/cord) will be covered by thursday am.

I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ANYONE WHINING THAT THERE'S "TOO MUCH SNOW!"

That's a given. Some people just don't get it.

I overhear that line occasionally on the lift lines, but never on this group. I have to summons as much restraint as possible in not responding...

that is definately not something that should be overheard in lift lines.

What does everyone feel about the possibility of wind hold on So. VT mountains on Wednesday? I have one day to take off, and don't want to blow it. It's either Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. Will probably hit Okemo.

That's funny because we just had a guest check in who uttered one of the most memorable lines ever a couple of years ago after a storm of about 18+ inches.

KingM: "How was the skiing yesterday?"

Guest (in grumpy voice): "It was alright, I guess, if you like powder."

Haha..well alot of people..especially beginners and older folks..or people from PA..are only comfortable on icy groomed trails...At Jackson Hole there were lots of people bitching about no groomed runs or bad visibility on the storm days and were desperately hoping for an end to the storm..sunshine is over-rated I want snow..and it's raining outside my window...
