Good plan. It shouldn't be too windy in the lift lines (where you will be spending 90% of your day)

I was there two weekends ago, we had similar winds that weekend, no problems with wind holds OR lift lines.

Rosebrook glades are pretty entertaining, Stickney are a waste of time, to short and flat. I might be there Sunday too.

Here's the 00z Euro snowfall depiction from the overnight run.

Keep in mind with the very cold temps you'll need to multiply the above by something like 1.7 or 1.8 or so.

EDIT: Which would mean almost 4 feet of snow in that little area of Maine if this is to be believed.

Wildcat will be amazing. Wind chill values below -30 and wind holds wI'll really suck though.

2 weekends ago wasn't the start of school vacation week.

Seems like all the heavy traffic black out periods have been hit with some kind of weather. Christmas Day and MLK Day had the R word. Christmas break saw r^&n then turned cold for a hard refreeze. MLK weekend started with really cold temps (single digits) on Saturday then went to rain on Sunday into Monday. Funny the following weekend was the huge snow storm.

Now this President Day weekend is being hit with high winds and super cold temps which will keep people away and staying cold into MASS vacation week.

Will find something to ski somewhere! Even if it is Veterans Memorial mentioned in a trip report.
Whaleback could be a decent play for you guys from Concord if you didn't want to deal with the winds at Cannon. $20 Sunday AM's 9-12:30
