Anybody skiing this MLK weekend?

So is anybody going skiing this MLK weekend and where?

I hope to go on Sunday or Monday, but I am not sure where yet. I was thinking Jay Peak(discounted ticket), Mont Orford (comp tix) or Jiminy Peak(comp tix).

 

[Greg]

Definitely Monday - probably Beast or Jiminy. Possibly Sunday - probably Butternut or Jiminy.

Leaving for Tremblant tommorow. BRRRRR!

 

[Scalce]

I'm thinking maybe Okemo on Monday.

I figure it is going to be the least busy day.

You're probably right. With warmer temps, snow in many folks' back yard, and Monday being a holiday, Sunday is probably going to be a zoo...

 

[Greg]

Supposed to get upwards to 6" tonight/tomorrow AM. I'm heading off to Butternut early in the AM...

 

[Joshua B]

Who is supposed to get 6 inches?

 

[Greg]

They've been increasing snow amounts for CT and the highest forecast I've heard was 6". Apparently a low may now develop off LI...

I am checking the weather forcast for here and northern VT. It looks like more snow in southern New England.

Butternut is looking tempting for Sunday!!!

I'm thinking about Magic on Saturday.

Jay Peak!! What what!! :-D Love it there!

 

[Edd]

I doubt I'll ski on that Monday (crowd averse) but I'll go somewhere Tuesday and Wednesday to mop up the leftovers.

Magic if they get some fresh snow.

Man...This is one old thread! Anyway, Killington Friday through Tue...Looks to be pretty cold.

I'm contemplating a bus to Stowe on Saturday of MLK weekend - anyone have feedback on whether that'll be a crowded sh*t show or what? Bus and lift ticket cheaper than face value ticket, wouldn't be making it there otherwise.

 

[jrmagic]

I will be at Magic for all 3 days.

 

[emmaurice2]

Will be staying in NH with friends, they like Sunapee, so probably ski there on Saturday. Sunday is up in the air.

A nine year thread bump? Impressive.

I'm booked for certain at Gore on Friday and Whiteface Saturday + Sunday. I might do Plattekill on Monday too.

Two potential BIG problems though, there could be crippling cold in concert with way below zero windchills the entire weekend.

At the very least, I'll ski Gore on Friday, might do XC in Lake Placid on Saturday if it's -8 million with windchill (plus Sat is the worst crowd day anyway), then test the slopes Sunday. One possible bonus is that some of the models are picking up a chance for some resurfacing snow around that timeframe.
