10/11 season closings

[4aprice]

I gotta slightly defend Gary here. (even though I don't know him) No where did I see him say he was stopping skiing, just that Yawgoo closed for the season. It is depressing out, and it looks like our season here (Pocono's and maybe even the Catskills ) is knocking on deaths door a little earlier then usual. That will not stop me from going north for my fix but it does make it more of a chore. I will be watching the trail counts and base depths closely. This coming week might be it down here (about 2 weeks from normal close), a short spring season:-(.

thank you brother!

Wow somebody's catching a whole mess of heat. Unfortunately I have to agree that PA is looking like the season is dead in the next two weeks and my hopes of getting up to VT are dwindling away.

thank you brother!

I was going to defend you too, until you called my Nords (well, actually your Nords) ugly in the other thread. Cute kid, though.

I know all too well that the season is quickly wrapping up down in the lower areas. I don't need Gary to remind me...

I get depressed enough as it is this time of year...

I get the feeling that this season will be a short one, at least for me. Super busy at work, so it's only 3 weekends left in March and the cover will deteriorate fast.This weekend's rain will put a dent in the snow cover. I am hoping for some late March snows, but that's nothing to count on.
I've always been looking forward to harvesting some nice April corn but this year this may have to be moved into March. The best stuff, as always, will be further up north.

I was thinking (tenatively) about joining the AZ party up at Sugarloaf, but I'm just solo. Anybody needs to fill up their condo ? I'm well behaved and toilet trained

If you're serious post in the Sugarloaf thread in the Trips and Events forum, there may still be people looking for help filling their condo...

Come on, I still have over a foot of snowpack here in the NH flatlands after a huge rainstorm that was all snow in N. VT. Over 90" on the ground at Mansfield.
People who base their NNE ski decisions on the weather in SNE are not really doing it right.

Steve, your skis look great!

I did think anyone was doing that. Thanks for enlightening us, but I think most of us are aware there is plenty of skiing to be had. The difference is those of us in the flatlands have to travel further for it soon which for many of us limits the number of times we can get out after mid-late March.

true, but remember most of us are just mindless sheep who just follow the leader.

on the other hand i've heard from more than 1 VT inn keeper who's said regardless how much snow falls up north their phones ring off the hook when SNE gets snow.

Ski Ward calling it quits today ...

I hate this thread.

Gunstock is closed for the day today due to weather. They will be open tomorrow but now it is decision time, to head up tonight or not, that is the question.

Wachusett surprisingly is open in the rain today. Good for them!
