Sounds like the storm is going to be hitting right in the middle of the event. I think I'm going to be heading out around 2 AM or so, the conditions should be sweet. I'll be on tele gear if anyone's around.

24 hour powder night... sweet. NOAA says 4-8".

I won't be there. Hurt my knee last night. Don't know how bad yet.

Did anyone go? It looked like the worst crowds I've ever see for this event. The word must've gotten out about it over the last few years, and the event in the middle of a snowstorm really got people out there.

I set the alarm for 12AM, and then looked at the webcam, and decided to wait. The crowds were still miserable at 3AM, so I scrapped the idea. It's bad enough standing in one of Wachusett's industrial strength lift lines in the daytime, and playing human pool on Conifer, I didn't need it at the wee hours.

This even used to be my chance to have some nice runs on a relatively quiet hill. Not this year.
