The NWS forecast for the Stowe area is for 1-3" of rain begining after 1AM on saturday and there is a flood watch for the area. The rain may end as some snow on sunday, accuweather is prediciting a few inches of accumulation possible????

It's gonna be a real turd floater in Boston, they say. At least it'll wash some of the sand off the sidewalks.

anybody have any opinions on whether Sunday in the catskills might still be good?

I know hunter has got a good base and top notch grooming crew. the weather report says snow mix for that day.

The storm looks to be a slow mover, hence the heavy rainfall, so Hunter might be very wet or white on sunday. I want to try to sneak on over to Hidden Valley if the weather looks good enough on sunday as just about everything in CT is now closed.

Ya know I was thinking of Hunter this Monday. I too am curious what will be left up there after this weather system goes through. I guess we'll all be watching TWC and accuweather.com.

If anyone can groom the mountain back to shape its Hunter but I worry about them throwing in the towel. How high can their profit margins be after a couple of spring storms and April 1 showing on the calendar??? I am sure they expect crowds to be THIN at this point so who knows.

Hunter will be open until the second weekend in April..

The mountain STILL has tons of snow left... Over 15' on Hellgate we estimated...

We'll pick up some skiers from Mt Creek but mostly Park traffic...

I'll report on the mountains shape this weekend.. At some point.. Probably going to ski a least a few runs tomorrow and Sunday...

Well I can forget about Hidden Valley as they have decided to close for the season, that leaves the option of skiing at Woodbury for any turns close to home. No Thanks.

I will wait for next weekend.

Butternut in Great Barrington MA is supposed to be open. It shouldn't be more than an hour further than Sundown for you...

The Springfield Massachusetts weather just predicted 2" - 5" rain

I noticed Mt Snow has a special on Tuesday the 5th, 2 skiers = $50.

I think I'll go...
