Merry Christmas everyone. Forget about skiing for a while, go drink some eggnog and introduce yourself to your family!

We spend all summer Jones'n for any hint of winter. We ski dirt, rocks, and mud in the fall and spring just to stretch the season a bit. I'm not going to forget about skiing in December just because things are a little wet or firm. Friday is going to be sunny in the 30s. I'll take a dose of spring skiing anytime!! Welcome to New England.

Saturday could be pretty sweet...mid 40s and sunshine could produce spring skiing in December.

He likes to complain about the weather and when he's not doing that, he likes to complain about people complaining about the weather. ;)

You got that right! Now that you've snapped me out of character, what was I complaining about? I think I'll complain about that I forgot what I was complaining about!

Anything next week?

Yes, inquiring minds need to know. Glad I've got new Volkls, they're not too shabby at holding an edge on boilerplate, especially when new.

It's all up to the snow guns. It looks like the temps will stay below freezing post-Xmas, but right now, there's low confidence for moisture in the mix. Then again, next week is light years away and everything will change. :rolleyes:

Until then, there will be weather next week. Here's the forecast:

I would pay attention to their report and make sure there are no lift closures for tomorrow between ice and possible power issues. They have been getting freezing rain all morning and that is expected to continue into the afternoon. Hopefully the rain starts early enough to soften things up for you guys and can take care of icing.

Just a few hours farther than what I was hoping for. :-(

what kind of skiing or boarding are you looking for? What level?

Honestly, every ski area is in the same boat weather-wise.

Snowboarder. I guess you could say advanced. I like everything, steeps, trees, bumps, park. I had a cannon pass last year, but it looks like I'm going to be moving south for work in a few weeks so I wanted to get my money's worth this weekend.
