Skied till closing at 3:30 at BW. By that time it was dumping pretty hard. Just drove down to the MWV and it's basically raining down here. That does not bode well for Attitash.

Sunapee/Ragged area is absolutely dumping right now. Cool little cold tuck in Sullivan County, on intellicast radar, it's only within the county as Merrimack is mostly wet right now.

That red circle of above freezing temps from 750-850mb at Killington is scary. Not as bad but still a tiny bit of above freezing temps above 5k feet at Whiteface. ImageUploadedByAlpineZone1418162838.336813.jpgImageUploadedByAlpineZone1418162852.764988.jpg

Isothermic cooling combined with heavy rates should keep them as snow for a while, the changeover would occur after this WAA/Omega thump ends. Yes, there'll be rain showers at killington tomorrow, but it won't really matter. The meaningful QPF will be all snow.

I wouldn't be worried.

While it won't wash away what they have, it'll probably be a *bit icy* once we get back below 32F. Think I'll stay in the office tomorrow and let that base pack down! :)

Wildcat was amazing this afternoon. I spoke to the operations manager who confirmed that they are being extra conservative dropping ropes this year, but he also mentioned that they have a boundary to boundary policy. That whole mountain was skiing well today. Cover in most places was excellent and the snow was powdery. You just have to use caution as there is still running water in places. I got caught over my head in a gulley off of Upper Wildcat and had to hike out in the knee deep snow.

That omega ends in a few hours and there's still a good bit of precip to follow plus showers to,or row. SVT may have more snow by AM but it'll be packed w rain you'll be wet trying to ride it.

It only gets above freezing in the dryslot of this storm. The only significant QPF left before the 2nd wave, which comes through on Thursday-Friday, is the commahead which will be all snow and out in the Daks. Where are you getting this?
