Ok Wachusett and the ski areas in the Berkshires should get about 8-10" all other ski areas in MA and points south in CT and RI will be lucky to get 2-4" ski areas in NH, ME, VT will be breaking out the yardsticks to measure. Pack your bags and head north.

Looks like we're not going to have a problem getting out of CT tomorrow. I'm happy to hear that I won't hit snow until I get north of Springfield. Driving in snow doesn't bother me. Jackass S. New England drivers do. Anyway, hope to be able to get out a few hours at MRG tomorrow and Sugarbush Friday and Saturday. ski_resort_observer indicated the SB Inn has a couple of DSL lines so I'll try to upload some pics tomorrow and Friday evenings. Hope some others can get out Friday too. The track and timing of this storm is shaping up perfectly for me....

Thursday, February 10
Trails Open: 146; Miles Open: 71; Lifts Open: 19
Surface Conditions: Powder / Packed Powder
New Snow: 8 inches at 6 a.m. and the snow continues to fall. Weather: Snow through the day with temps in the 20s. Total accumulation expected to be 16-20 inches.



2/10/2005
Trails 74+; Lifts 10;
Conditions Powder/Packed Powder

Great news everyone, Mother Nature has smiled upon us once again, dropping 4 inches of fresh powder overnight! Snow still continues to fall and forecasters are calling for at least another 5-8 inches of freshies by the end of the day! Today we'll have over 74 trails open with 10 lifts in rotation servicing the vast expanse of powder/packed powder skiing and riding. The trail count will climb as the day progresses, as all this new snow will allow ski patrol to drop the ropes all day. The weather for today holds another 5-8 inches of snow, with base temps around 28 degrees along with summit temps at 22 with moderate winds out of the east/northeast. With all the new snow, it looks like the weekend will once again be spectacular!

Looks like only the northern areas will get lots of snow out of this. They were a bit off on this one. The skills are getting 2 to 4 and they were said to get 12+ Looks like I will just have to go north.

YeeHa our annual bus trip to Stratton is tomorrow.

4-6 inches of new snow has fallen overnight, with storm totals of 20 inches in the forecast by Friday morning!! You'll be making turns this morning on 81 trails, with 8 lifts scheduled to begin loading at 9:00 a.m. Wax up your sticks and boards and head out into this Winter Wonderland where you'll find over 550 acres or 32.85 miles of open terrain to play on. Think Snow!
