At the end of yesterday, when the Burlington NWS map had me in the 10-14 inch band, I was thinking I would just go to Burke.
Then yesterday evening the Fairbanks Museum meteo guys weren't very bullish on the totals for the central NEK (shadowing by the whites, etc). They were predicting 4-10".
Then this morning, the NWS folllowed suit and downgraded almost all of N VT :sad:.
So right now I have a list of places I'm keeping an eye on.
I'm bringing my regular alpine setup and my touring setup (just in case winds are an issue).
(* denotes places I've never skied)
Magic* - Could be flirting with 20+ inches but also could be overrun by powder hungry hoards. And with expected road conditions could be a 2.5 hour+ drive.
Wildcat* (1.5 hours) - Could also be flirting with 20" but again could be overrun by powder hungry hoards and potentially have wind issues.
Attitash* (1.5 hours) - Could also be flirting with 20" and is nice and steep in a lot of places. More resistant to wind than Wildcat?
Black Mtn, NH* (1 hour 40 min)- Could also be flirting with 20". Is "small" but looks like a lot of fun. Potentially uncrowded. Looks like it faces away from the expected NW winds.
Cannon (40 min) - in the 14" band but it is closer and I know it fairly well. May have wind issues.
Where are YOU going?
