Hoping the gusts aren't too bad at Loon...I don't know if they'll close chairs at 30mph? does anyone?

Magic still reporting 3" and rain on FB, Pico is "claiming" 10". Might make the trip further north tomorrow if they don't report wind holds.

so snow now for the Catskills or still just rain?


Looks like just rain. Temperature was getting down there but spiked back up in the last couple hours. Hunter maybe 2-4 inches if we're lucky. Plattekill might get in the 3-6 inch range. Bummer. Was hoping to take off Friday. Is there anywhere within 4 hours of Piscatawy/New Brunswick that isn't going to get hosed by rain?

Hard to say.

Was there a few weeks ago for the last big midweek storm and it was quite windy. They ended up shutting the gondola down early afternoon, but the others were running fine. North peak gusts were strong but seemed straight into wind. Prob depends on direction and strength.

Now that we know we are getting the goods, what's the deal for those that will not make it up to the mountains until Sat. Any idea if it is going to rain or snow Sat in VT/NH. Rain and then a freeze Sat will really make for a bummer.
1) I don't see a lot of precip, whatever form it come.

2) Go as far north as you can and the changeover will be in your favor (at least that's what I plan to do, unless I hear confirmation of the reverse).

I have a customer that is insisting that I go use his ski house near Burke Mtn, I am taking him up on it. Stoked!

Just arrived in Montgomery Center, VT. The drive down from the Hinterlands was a little hair-raising at times but not as bad as expected. Lots of blowing snow and drifting. Roads in NVT are a little surfy.

I'd say there is seven inches of fresh, very fine, dense snow on the ground here. You know, the cream cheese variety. In my experience, you can double that for the mountain, though I'm preparing for figuring out what aspects to ski, considering the wind.

I'll take it.

Pico's claim is legit. I was a Killington today. A day like you dream about!

When I checked the Hunter webcam at one point (around 9pm) it was raining. A few hours later I saw snow so they did get some but not much. Radar wasn't showing all that much either. It rained a lot of the day in the Cats. At most they got a few inches.

There was a lot of snow up there when I went last Thursday-Friday so I'm sure a lot is still there but with all the thawing and refreezing that's going on and is forecast for this coming week, it's a toss up as to how good things are or will be.

I figured with a foot and a half of new snow 150 miles further north and colder temps, it was worth both the drive and added expense, especially since my daughter is coming with me and it will probably be the last ski trip for the season so I'm not taking any chances.

Well as it worked out just a dusting Sun. night. Mon night maybe an inch or so than blue skies, warm temps & mucho sunshine Tues. I was almost ready to break out the sun block. 24 hours later approaching 2 feet of nice light new snow. I'd say it was a great week.
