Snow..coming ???

tnt1234 · Feb 19, 2018

Had a great day Sunday at Bromly - went to bed, not snowing. Woke up, not snowing. But 6-8" on the ground! Awesome day.

Saturday at Okemo was meh. Had fun, but poor conditions and big crowds.

Typically, resorts don't do much regarding snowmaking after President's Day. Wonder if that'll change after this week? A little resurfacing may not be out of the question.

Last year I recall quite a few areas making snow in early March (even Sugarbush which was quite shocking). Have to wait and see how bad the damage is I suppose before we'll know what resorts decide to do.

Whaat? Why would you not trust an opinion from a guy with no education in the field?

You guys, I’ve got some opinions about brain surgery. Mind you, I have no medical expertise whatsoever, but listen to what I gots to sayz and so forth. Please PM me with your brain surgery questions. I’ve done much interneting on the topix!

Loon was quite nice today and crowds weren't too bad (East Basin was basically ski on). Triple Trouble was open and the bumps skied surprisingly well with pow in-between some still. Sampled some off map stuff, that was surprisingly good too.

Wah wah wah... someone made a ranty post on an internet forum and it triggered me enough to complain and make generalized objections, I guess I'll drop a "proper disciplinary scientific training" to signal my superior intellect in the laziest way possible.

Go piss on the floor of Jay's Stateside bathroom!

You make a great point actually. Even less should someone get upset about it. Anyway Edd, you always seemed like a solid guy on here to me, I know we've come on different sides of some issues lately, but we have more in common that matters through our love of skiing on here. I'm going to make a mental note to not be trollishly disagreeable with you in the future... we'd probably enjoy taking some turns some day and skip the politics.

Nice sounds like my day at Bromley a couple weeks ago. It's a pretty fun mountain if you don't go expecting extreme skiing.

Anti-education is an excellent position to take. Keep it up.

Well Edd, my proposition 2 posts above still stands. Long day... good night

Attitash also in good shape today, groomer wise at least. Triple and Yankee were ski on after noon and 5 minute wait before.

Not a ton of depth though. I think they're going to lose some snowmaking trails this week, or at least they'll be in ugly shape.

Yeah, it was our first time. West side is kind of unique - all those 'trails' more or less really just one big face with a little bit of pitch. Interesting And the Chute under teh bluebird lift is pretty fun...certainly no extreme stuff, but was perfect...6-8" on a nice groomed surface....home run.

Worst day of my season there last Tuesday. What base depth? Many trails ( with snow making) were almost bare. Gonna be ugly.

Nice sentiment, Tuna. Agreed.

You have to love this line from today's Burke ski report:
"Quite frankly these warmer temps and wet conditions will leave ungroomed terrain in great shape melting away that hard lingering crust."

If and when it gets cold again it will be scary though

Optimism at its finest

Let's hope Sunday's event stays snowy in the mountains.
