skied a few hours at jay this afternoon. It was 5-6 inches of total cream cheese, glue, whatever you want to call it, I was soaked at the end of the day. real good base snow and still fun to ski in, but not fluffy powder by anymeans, just about as heavy as it gets. hopefully we can get more cold air into this system to get some fluff for tomarrow. the hill was a ghost town today, only 10 cars in the stateside lot, I drove up and wondered if the lifts were even running.

I can't go this weekend and honestly I'm glad that this is really heavy snow. It will add a little to the base on the trails and hopefully extend the season a bit. If this were pow it would just blow into the woods and would do us no good when it warms up again in a few days.

I have been hearing on the Sugarloaf Chat that the snow up there is powdery light on most of the mountain except for at the base. NOAA is still predicitng another 8-12" for Sugarloaf through Wednesday:blink: :grin:

14" so far at Sugarloaf, with a forecast for 2-4" more today and tonight. Regaee Festival should be great.

Nice! Last year's Reggae Fest conditions were awesome and I was thinking this year couldn't beat it; hopefully for those of you going, I was wrong. Should be awesome. Have fun!

Hopefully the new snow holds for Easter, I am planning on going up next thursday 4/13 for three days of skiing. The extended forecast looks fairly cool and dry:-D

Wildcat is reporting 11-16" of new snow, so it looks like Northern New Hampshire and Western Maine did well with this storm.

The snowstorm is your fault Greg, mother nature did not like the spring/summer colors on the message board, keep up the good work:-D
