Ski Sundown (night): Wednesday, 12/12/2007

[Greg]

Mountain looks good. Nice side-to-side coverage. There ain't going to be any bumps though, that's for sure. Brian and I were discussing tonight whether they will open this week, or try to preserve the snow for the weekend. Forecast looks a bit rough this week. If open, I'm there for about 6:30 pm on Wednesday.

Let's do the 7:30 pm meet-up at the Nor'easter sun deck again this season. Who else is in?

 

[Greg]

Reopening at 3 pm

Reopening today at 3 pm so that's good news. Wednesday night should be a go.

NWS forecast is ugly though:

Today: Rain and sleet likely, mainly before noon. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 36. North wind around 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Little or no snow accumulation expected.

Tonight: Partly cloudy, with a low around 23. North wind around 6 mph.

Tuesday: A slight chance of snow before noon, then rain, snow and sleet likely between noon and 3pm, then rain and sleet likely after 3pm. Increasing clouds, with a high near 37. Calm wind becoming south between 4 and 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Little or no snow accumulation expected.

Tuesday Night: Periods of freezing rain and sleet before midnight, then rain or freezing rain likely between midnight and 3am, then freezing rain likely after 3am. Low around 26. West wind around 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.

Wednesday: A chance of freezing rain before 9am, then a chance of rain between 9am and noon. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 39. West wind 9 to 12 mph increasing to between 17 and 20 mph. Winds could gust as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%.

Wednesday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 17.

Have I told you how much I hate the weather right now?

Enough with the sleet, freezing rain, and rain! Bring on the snow!!!!!!

I haven't found anyone to watch the kids yet but if I can, I will be there Wed night.

Uhm....who else thinks it might a good idea to keep Thursday open as a reserve instead...?
:idea:

You are evil. Ski until closing at Sundown (10 pm). Home by 11 pm. Wake up at 5:15s so I can get to the carpool on Friday morning.

Let's see how the forecast changes over the next few days....

That's exactly what I'm saying. Gotta get after it when we can...

Exactly, perhaps this storm will explode earlier than expected and we'll be forced to take Thursday off as well...

I hope New Hartford gets puked on and we ride pow all day Thursday and then do it again on Friday. I'm seriously going to the ski shop after my 2 o'clock meeting to browse..... or maybe purchase.

you guys are demented. I mean that in a good way, but still...........

I want to see if they have the AC20s in stock. The 30s are still an option if I can't get my the sales rep to talk me out of them. I also want to see if they have any Rossi B2s in stock after your suggestion.

My wife was holding off making plans on Wednesday night since she knows that's ski night. I ran a potential Thursday night by her and she would actually prefer that which works out well as it lines up nicely with this storm. I'm keeping Thursday open as a very viable option.

 

[severine]

If it's Thursday night, Brian will be working. You guys can give him a hard time while you're there.

Whoops! Forgot about that.







Sorry, bud - no friends on a powder day (night). Please be sure to say hello though. We'll let you know how the powder is skiing...

I think I can just about forget about my ride to Hunter on Friday...

No worries, that's the breaks. It wouldn't be the first powder day (or night) that I've had to sit by the lift and watch everyone else have fun...
