    Most deceptive snow reports

    I have to put Cannon at top of the list. If I hear them describe conditions as epic or legendary again I’m going to loose it. Every time they get 4” of snow they report like it’s a legit powder day. They remind me of Killington in the 90’s. I actually think reports have gotten a lot better and...

    Pre-Xmas/Xmas week weather

    The more I read from reliable sources, the more certain it appears that we make break the 6 year streak of warm and poor Christmas weeks. It is loaded up and there appears to be opportunities for storms a few times p week until the end of the year. Even if we only strike gold on 50% of these, we...

    Bicknells thrush no longer endangered

    The Thrush is no longer considered endangered. What will his mean for NE skiing. Cannon had a lot of restrictions due to the bird. I don't think they apply any longer. I wonder what this means for Mittersill and other areas affected by the prior species designation.

    Cannon not opening!!

    What is their problem? Always seems to be some issue with them. I know the weather sucks, but its the same weather at every other mountain as well. Everyone will be open, even in a limited manner, but Cannon.

    Bought my pass and got a look a the new trail Map. The bottom line is maybe one new trail. A few glades added to map that wee already existing. A few just renamed like upper Lower Cannon is now Rock Garden. Took me a while to find the 8th, but eventually figured it out. Hint, it will be less...

    Cannon has been awarded the 2017 NCAA skiing championships. This is a really big deal and Mittersill will host some of the best skiers in the world. These are quite exciting and will be filled with Euro's watching their kids race on Baron's. Way to go Cannon and FSC.

    Greenland Block setting up ???

    Pulled this off a UK site I like to visit. My recollection is that when we get a Greenland Block it can make for a very cold and snowy winter. Can someone who knows more than me confirm if there is a correlation?

    Will Sochi Olympics be a disaster?

    I have been to the past few Winter Olympics, but there was absolutely no way I was going to Sochi. I am willing to bet these will be amongst the worst games ever, even if there is no terrorism. The tidal wave of public media discontent is starting to gain steam. I only believe it will get worse...

    Ever ski Timberline, WV or Elk, PA?

    Often wondered about these two hills. They seem to be the best in each region with the most, or most consistent, snow and most consistent fall line skiing. Anyone have thoughts on these areas i might like to make a trip to ski them some day. How do they compare to good NE skiing?

    Extremely warm March weather to come?

    I have been reading as many weather reports as possible and a few seem to suggest we are going to see a VERY warm period in a week or so. Anyone else hear or read this? This could be a death sentence for few areas.
