Life conspired to cancel my Cannon trip on Sunday and I ended up at Nashoba. It was my first time there, and they deserve a major shout out.

I drove by there one night before Feb vacation and it was raining hard with only the adult ski racers on the hill...every lift was running. Agreed.

Does anyone know if they blew a ton of snow for a June rail jam like they did last year?

Appears that Magic has posted on their website that Saturday 3/24 is their closing. I wonder if they make it beyond this wknd though to be honest.

I'm at Attitash now because the forecast looked a bit better than BW. Tell you what, I'm enjoying these conditions. Woo hoo!

Looks like a bunch of places will close around then, which is also around when seasonal temperatures will return. The way this Murphy's Law winter has happened, you just KNOW there's going to be a 12 inch dump between March 26th and April 1st, after places have closed.

They still have excellent coverage on the snowmaking trails and many natural trails had snow as well this past Sunday so I think they have a reasonable chance of making it to the 24th.

just saw this posted on WaWa's website...

Spring is in the air but snow is still on the ground! To save our snow for the weekend, we will be closed on Wednesday, March 14 and Thursday, March 15 and reopening Friday, March 16 at 9 a.m. Join us for our St. Patrick's Green Day Celebration on Saturday.

Wouldn't be surprised if they are done by the end of this coming weekend based on what I saw 3/12; maybe a day or two longer if they get aggressive w/ pushing around snow but even the sentiment with passholders is the season is toast in a few days or after the weekend and then they will have to go up North to get there fill.

Rode the lift with Attitash's GM last weekend. Said they're going to try to make it until April 1, but I'm dubious. They had a big melt-off last week, and it's even warmer this week. I'm sure it's going to start getting pretty bare when I get up there Saturday.

Skied MadRiverGlen yesterday. Great soft snow bumps on the narrow trails, but with lots of brown spots on the lower mountain. How much brown there was depended on exposure; some open trails were well-covered, especially up top, but most had brown spots no matter where you went, and there were some totally brown trails. There was corn at the base in the afternoon, along with soup. Sticky/gloppy/compressible in the woods. The flats were intermittently grippy as if embedded with glue. Lots of fun!
