Anyone know what the outlook is for this week for northern VT (potentially skiing on the weekend)? The report on weather.gov doesn't look too promising with some r**n tomorrow and mixed precip later in the week.

Tomorrow doesn't sound too great but it seems NWS has particularly low confidence in the models for this weekend this far out. Maybe we'll luck out as we did this past Friday.
was looking to hit sugarbush this weekend. keep checking the weather, but not too promising. rain forecast saturday.
Same here.. Thinking of going on a bus trip that generally goes to Sugarbush on Sat. and Stowe Sunday. They are flexible if conditions warrant it, but it's not even clear that Jay is going to escape the messiness. ?
Where is this bus you speak of? The typical bus trips from NYC don't go to the north country and are not flexible .
It's looking like a rain event for most of New England and a storm early next week is forecast to be a Great Lakes runner, meaning more rain.
Miramar (http://miramar.org/). It's a ski club. You can go as a guest 3 times (which I now have done), at which point you have to join (which I'm about to do when I go on my next trip). They have a lodge in the MRV and make trips there every weekend that they have enough interest. Turns out I wasn't the only one hesitating about the weekend and not enough people signed up in time, so nothing is happening. Next weekend I'm just planning to sign up right away and deal with what the weather brings. I can't go away the 3rd and 4th weekends in April and don't want my season to be over.
Where are you planning on skiing? Most Northern New England mountains will not close for lack of snow. A lot of mountains up here are still at or near 100% open with a huge base depth. There would be plenty of skiing well into May if ski areas continued to operate lifts. This rain will not have much of an impact on number of trails open next weekend, IMO.if rain storm comes next week, there may not be enough trails left for next weekend.
Interesting...So would you recommend this club to others? It looks like a sweet deal.

haven't decided yet, but leaning towards Sugarbush or Stowe. may even consider Jay. looks like Sugarbush already closed Mt. Ellen and Jay reduced trail counts. more than 1/2" of rain and temps in high 20's sounds like boilerplate for many areas, which i had enough this season. where can i find corn snow????
Yes. 40s/50s on the hill translates into good bump skiing. I suspect Glen and Bush will still be at 100% minus Mount Ellen (at least Glen will be for sure based on my experience last week). Check MRG's operating hours, I am pretty sure they are still open M-F that week but I can not recall for sure. No guarantees but you will have some reports coming out of there on Sunday to help assist you make the call. I'll be driving 2.5 hours each way to MRG this weekend, no brainer for me.1 - what should I expect at MRG or Sugarbush this coming Monday, following rain predicted Fri/Sat, and then warmish temps Sun/Mon.
2 - worth the extra drive time to MRG/SB? (Purely for the conditions - from a terrain perspective I'd much prefer SB (Castlerock / Steins) or MRG (anywhere) over Mt Snow but it's a LOT more driving.
Both northern and southern VT weather predictions now are for rain Fri/Sat followed by lows at or above freezing (32/34 deg), highs in the high 40s low 50s for Sun/Mon. If that translates to good bump skiing, great.
