I don't know why I'm excited about his one, I can't go out this weekend anyway... :x

Hope the rest of you enjoy it. The past few weeks have been pure sweetness. :D

Local newssays storm watch is extended through 4 pm Saturday. If it runs that long, I think we're going to try for night skiing, probably Gunstock, Sat night. Anybody know how Gunstock is for wind holds after a storm?
I've already taken Monday off, though (did it before the storm), and can't decide between Jiminy, Cranmore, or Sunapee. I think I'll wait and see who gets the best out of this storm before committing free passes...

Based on a check of the trail map I don't think that Gunstock runs the summit quad at night. I'm not sure how the other lifts are affected by wind, however.

Conditions were great at Gunstock when I went last Sunday, and I'm guessing that they will be even better this weekend. Enjoy.

ctenidae, Thursday's globe had $15 dollar off coupon in the Ski/sports section for any day for the rest of the year at Sunapee. Looked like you either had passes or were looking for a deal. Hope that helps.

The last storm(Mon night/Tues) was abit of a disappoitment here so maybe Roemer will be right this time.

It has started to snow here along the Mad River about a mile from the Sugarbush access rd.

Looks like Greg has picked another perfect time to work..ie sking powder.... :lol:

Started snowing on the mountain in the late morning. :)

By 2:30 it was starting to settle in. :)

Tomorrow I would suggest everyone stay inside and... :idea: watch TV. :wink:

This is good snow, too. That stuff we had during the windy, blowing storm midweek was kind of cruddy (not that we won't take it), but this is some good powder.

I think we've got about six so far in the MRV. There was a letup this morning, but it's coming down again. Sounds like we're due for several more inches today. MRG's website says 15-30 (what a range, eh?) by Monday morning.

:)

I woke up to close to a foot this morning. The strong March sun is already starting to take its toll on it though.
