Remember my recent comments about how Camelback's marketing department are the biggest liers remaining in the ski industry?

This was just posted on the FB page. Seriously, they must think people are morons.

Maybe not 12-18", but the latest forecast does call for 6-8" in the tri-state area Sunday night to Monday morning. It's quite possible it'll be revised down when we got closer. But I wouldn't go quite so far to say the "L" word about the amount when all the previous "official" forecast had been over-predicting... wishful thinking maybe.

The forecast they're referencing is SIX to TWELVE, and frankly they're awfully close to the 3-6 and 6-12 delineation on that map.

There could be some very small pockets of 12-18 where meso banding sets up, so they put out this "PROJECTED 12 TO 18", which is 100% false. They do this crap all.....the.....time.

From someone who was up there, that's hilarious. I think they got about 1/2 hour of flurries Sunday morning. I know people who had taken off work to try to score fresh snow Monday, oops.

OTOH They've got a great base going on and when they A) get more snow, or B) it warms and gets soft, they are going to have a fabulous spring. The crowds will be gone and if you ever wanted to try the place this would be the year.
