For everyone thinking of skiing on Friday, it's going to be wicked cold. Here is the current forecast for Killington:

jan03
Snow Showers
Snw Shwrs
-9°-18°

High temp of -9, low of -18, with 15mph winds. Just food for thought.... Even Crotched will be have high of 4, low of -12.

Boot warmers with a boot glove and good to go!

Wow those are some frigid numbers for Friday. However, Nothing feels better then being prepared, with all the correct gear on a peak. It's an amazing feeling. Girly got me the new marker thermals. Can't wait to test them.

Yup, that aint happening. I'm even worried for Saturday, fingers crossed the arctic air retreats.

Berkshire East should be a good bet.

Yup, too bad it's the NAM! But on the positive side, even when it spits out ridiculous pcp it usually at least grabs the trend. So it wouldnt shock me if the Euro and GFS improve at least a bit too.

I'll be interested to see if the GFS comes west a bit given it's eastern bias, which would be a nice thing for ski country.

My guess is the snow will be really light and that could be bad news for a non existent base in the woods.

NWS - keeps revising the temps DOWN up here at Mount Snow - the forecasted high for Friday is now -1 with a low of -19!!! And that doesn't even include the big winds forecasted too!!

Bundle up big time if you're going to go for it on Friday!!
