Anybody here anything about this? I imagine it would be elevation dependent, but then again that is the only place I would want it at this point. Yard raked, garden prepped, square foot garden greenhouse up, driveway swept, etc, no need for snow here.

......3 dead 8 injured/missing. adding brief article from cnn, this only happened a few hours ago so still very little news in regards to this. http://www.cnn.com/2012/02/19/us/washington-avalanche-deaths/index.html

Saddleback will be installing the Saddleback Express Quad replacing the Rangley Double. I am not sure when this will happen, but this seems to be the first priority for lifts.

...........well perhaps it does. If the second half of the season goes average or above average with mother natures bounty, and the first half stays cold enough for snow making with limited snowfall, could this turn out to be a blessing of sorts for the spring skiing and riding season? Man...

I have been out west riding before, but it was during the spring. I have also taken several weather based classes in college. However I have a question in regards to Aspen and other western ski towns. Do the towns get much in the way of snow? A mountain like Aspen gets over 300" a year, but...

Just happened to see that Bode Miller won the WC DH at Beaver Creek. First DH in three years. Put the spoiler alert in case somebody DVR'd it or if it is replayed at some time. Looks like Ms. Vonn is doing well in Lake Louise as well.

Big announcement coming tomorrow, per a post over at Sugarloaftoday. Powdr buying Saddleback? Or perhaps the Visa Program? Stay tuned!:-o My guess would be the EB 5 (?), not sure a US senator would be involved with a simple transaction of some sort of sale.

And for this, lets use Big Squaw in Maine as the Mountain. How much do you think it would cost to make this a top notch, small, family mountain? What would you do to make it a financially successful ski hill? If you want take a shot, try to figure out what the purchase price for the current...

Seems that we dodged a bullet in western NH (Upper Valley). It looks like it is done already. We got almost nothing in terms of rain, got some sleet (half inch) and now it is done, or so I think. Originally many weather sites were calling for snow to sleet to rain to heavy rain for almost all...

It's been a while since we last got some significant wide spread snow. So weather geeks, what say you? Accuweather (mouth piece for snowblower/shovel/southern vaction trade groups :razz:), seems to be talking something quite major for central/northern NE "Late Week". This should/would be...

Hey why not!:-P Well with 3-6 inches tomorrow mid morning in NH and another 1-2 feet Wednesday morning, why not look ahead to this weekend. I don't put much faith in long term forecast, especially those from NECN, but Matt Noyes is anticipating another major snow for central and southern New...

Being a born and raised Mainer I frequent local news (Bangor Area) and got reading about the World Cup in Fort Kent and Presque Isle. Although I knew it had been held their before I still find it really cool that a huge event like this takes place in the "other" part of Maine, really makes a...

I opted for there instead of Killington today. I must say that even though it doesn't have a ton of variety like it's big brother, it definately has some great runs especially on a powder day. This is the 4th time I have gone there instead of Killington and didn't regret it.

Meant to post this a couple weeks ago. Hard to believe we are now down to 5 inches or less of crust and ice now. My Shiba Inu Dakota entering the white room. She loves the snow!

I was surprised to see Sugarloaf got over a foot of snow in the last few days, but was more surprised that it allowed them to open up the much more terrain. Looks like they have the most terrain open in the east at this time. Figures this is the year I do X-mas in NH and not in Maine with my...

Tiny Arrowhead Ski Area in Claremont, NH is online, I think they started a couple days ago. I will walk the 100yrds or so from my house to check it out tomorrow. I have been hearing what I think is the hissing of the loan fan gun for the past couple days and nights. They only maintain and the...

Just curious to what people think. I haven't been to but a dozen or so ski areas in the Northeast and am curious to what peoples opinions are. Things to base your opinion on could be the following... Upkeep of buildings Access Road Conditions Parking Layout Base Lodges Condo...
