I know its still only Tuesday, but I'm sitting here at my desk dreaming of being on the slopes.

When I looked yesterday, forecasts were calling for rain a lot of the weekend, but I'm looking today and it looks pretty clear right now for the weekend. No matter where you're riding/skiing in New England, temperatures seem destined to be in the 40's or 50's.

So, where is everyone thinking of riding/skiing this weekend?

I think I want to make the drive up to Stowe on Saturday. I've never been and still have 2/3 of my VT Ski 3 passes left.

Has anyone been to Stowe recently? How were the conditions? Any recommendations for me? I will ride any terrain (tend to shy away from moguls), but my wife is more of a beginner and will stick to the green trails.

Also, any AZ'ers thinking of going up to Stowe Saturday and want to share a chair and get in some turns?

I'm taking a wait and see approach to see how much damage is done over the week. I still have a Bromont ticket to burn, so it will either be Bromont or Burke. Does anyone know how crowded Bromont will likely be on Saturday or Sunday? I'm spoiled with Burke's lack of crowds, but I'd also like to use up my ticket.

I'm waiting to see if there is a possibility of some back-ended snow that could make Friday a decent day. I know it's early, but I'm dying to get up to Wildcat and really hopeful.

Sounds like a party. I have a bunch of passes for Attitash / Wildcat on Sunday, or any other Sunday this season. Is anyone interested in joining?

Jcb890,

Don't we all dream of being on the slopes when we are at work? I am hoping for a few days at Jay this weekend. Might be a total dream!!!

Have been here skiing Stowe since Sunday. Conditions were awesome both yesterday and today. The 1-3 inches from yesterday and the warmer temps have made a huge difference. We skied all of the woods on the four runner side and they opened upper goat, national drop in and upper star today, all of which skied great. Heard a few people raving about chin clip and angel food in the parking lot this morning but we didn't ski those so can't confirm. We are up all week and plan on skiing through Friday so I'll report back after the weather on Thursday if it will help your decision. Sorry no pics!

Also, a tip when using the Vermont 3/5 passes at Stowe is that you can redeem them at both the Mansfield and midway lodges. Our first day we went all the way to spruce camp because that's what the paper said that was sent with the passes but don't waste your time going over there (unless you want to start at spruce).
