Ugh. Without taking the eventual totals and possible wind issues into account I'm not certain if the crowds will be worse at Gunstock or Wildcat. Gunstock is easier to get to for alot of Mass folks but the Cat will draw more powder hounds...unless the totals between the two go way out of whack and the choice becomes obvious. I wonder how much snow the Cat can hold on the trails by the time the winds are done.

Gunstock or Wildcat? If that is your decision, go Wildcat. Gunstock will groom a ton more than Wildcat will. When Wildcat is fully open, they usually have a higher percentage of the mountain ungroomed than average.

This is what a "Nanny State" looks like. This is what happens when politics gets involved with weather I guess. These bozo's will do anything to get face time. I find it funny that people always buy shovels during these "epic" storms. My question is, what did they do with the shovel from last years "epic" storm? What did they do with the shovel from the previous not so "epic" storm? I mean you need to shovel 8" of snow just as much as 24".

If it was me....I would go to Ragged or Whaleback. Southern NH would still be near the sweetspot of the storm; both those places are hidden jewels to the locals and basically do not the get the crowds from MA.
btw.... keep that a secret.

Not sure about Ragged. Would the Six run with the predicted winds? Ragged has no plan B options if they go on wind hold. Cycling the Speare Triple on a powder day isn't exactly my idea of a good time...

Oh well.. Mass and CT folks won't get to ski it.. but just think what good BASE this 2 feet of snow is going to make..
:smash:
Looking on the bright side. Taking a cute girl for first time lessons to Jiminy on Sunday... going to be a great day for that. Except I will probably have to park in another town.
And I will take days off work mid week to make up for this!

I'm surprised nobody has said the magic word regarding this driving ban. Liability. Its not that people need to be looked after more, or that the state wants to protect people. Its all about the state covering their ass if something were to happen.

How is this they can go F themselves.. If you need to get skiing and paid for it. I would go. Be on the roads before the ban and drive through it..

You would think that people including the govt havnt heard of winter Chains. They used to be common in areas with heavy winters. Make them mandatory and alot would be better. But the real issue is they have thin PC controled lives.

Just waiting for when more mamby pamby massholes to move to NH then we can have our roads closed too during future storms. Give the warning then if your an idiot and crash then it is your own fault and you can pay for your own rescue.
For the ski resorts: short term loss, long term gain. I bet that folks sitting at home will be stoked for President's Weekend/Week and will be booking their ski trips for next week. I bet the phones will ring off the hook with reservations and that next Friday night will be a shit show on the roads.

Having some trouble trying to translate this post, but I support the overall vibe of your statement(s).
Also great idea about mandating winter chains. Let's take it one step further and mandate all wheel drive. Why stop there let's mandate everyone drive a tank in anything over 2" of snow.
Having trouble understanding Smelletele's apparently trash talk directed at MA residents as well. Especially that last sentence.. what a doozie.
Actually this entire thread is starting to get sort of belligerent. I can't imagine why. :beer:

I'm working tonight in Portsmouth, NH and it looks pretty insane outside right now. I can't believe we haven't lost power. I've been checking PSNH outages in NH. Around midnight there were about 451 customers without juice statewide. A couple of hours later they were reporting no outages. Hard to believe looking out the window.
