I'm more interested in what the models are saying about the weekend...this mid week system doesn't look like it will do anything for NNE.

If a big storm does materialize this weekend, the timing will be Saturday evening to Sunday. Havent looked at the wind models yet to see if Sunday would be theoretically be pleasant or an all lifts on wind hold kind of day. Hopefully it's the former, because Monday is always the travel back home day for me.

For Sugarbush I see Fri 1 to 4 Sat 1 to 3 and Sun 1...so yeah looks to have fizzled a bit unless they get those high end amounts. Did not check any other areas though as i'm heading up to da bush next Thu.

i never heard of Ruby MTN before but looks awesome.
not to get off the weather track but here's a background.

Located about halfway between Reno and Salt Lake City off a lonely stretch of Interstate 80, Ruby Mountains Heli-Experience offers an Alaska-size day of powder shots in the Lower 48. Only in the isolated Ruby Mountains, you won’t have to share any of it with other backcountry skiers or snowboarders. Plus, this overlooked little range offers the ideal terrain for big mountain powder with ten peaks topping out over at 11,000 feet (3,353 meters) and an average of 300 inches (nearly 8 meters) of dry, desert snow each year—not necessarily Alaska levels, but the snow here is pure western fluff.
The best package consists of three days of flying to untracked skiing in terrain ranging from trees to open glades to steeps (depending upon conditions), with a guarantee of 39,000 vertical feet (11,887 meters) of turns for the trip. If the weather grounds your bird, the guides will still take you out cat-skiing and prorate your bill according to the amount of vertical you missed by not flying.
Best of all, when your legs are shot, you can relax back at the ranch. Reds Ranch (www.redsranchnv.com), that is, a ten-bedroom lodge that features in-room massages and gourmet meals. And save room for dessert: After eating up powder all day and feasting at the lodge, you’ll be served a seven-layer opera cake and a glass of Crown Royal.

I could deal with that. I like the idea that they cat you to a spot if you can't get there by heli and pro rate the price.

Maybe time to start discussing this again? Chatter has picked up following the last couple of model runs.

Henry Margusity from Accuweather put up this map, and said he could easily see this overperform to the tune of 8-9". Unfortunately, it favors the areas that just got pummeled by Nemo.
