I'm going to Elk Wed regardless of what happens. Free voucher that I need to use makes the decision easy.

I'll be by myself, so if anyone is planning on being there, give a shout.

Not true. Bretton Woods has an excellent firm base already. I was in the ungroomed and glades all day on Sunday without a problem. Cover is good enough that I am going to be taking out the news skis for this storm. Throw a foot on powder on top and it would be amazing.

You shouldn't get anything that even resembles powder.

If what you say above is true and the conditions are already fantastic, I would have to imagine this may even short-term "hurt" the ski experience, but will long-term be very beneficial.

What is the timing of this coming up through NJ, NY, CT? I'm driving down to western NJ tonight (Lambertville) for work rolling in around 9pm and hopeful that the storm has not yet started.
Would make a long drive even worse

Had a day off already planned, heading up to Stratton tonight for tomorrow. Couldn't make any other day work this week...Wednesday is sounding like THE day though...

for a meteorologist i find his ski/snowboard forecasts to be so so, other ski/board forecasters did a much better job last year

To be honest, his snowcasts are too "Bro" for me. That, and he's super optimistic. If all his forecasts came true, New England would get as much snow as Utah.

Work in Lambertville? What are you an antiques dealer?
Haha no, I work in Supply Chain management. Software company we work with hosts training sessions there on occasion given the folks who run it are somewhat local to the area.
I've heard Lambertville is a decent little town

This is a lot more conservative than most forecast I've seen. I have a sneaking suspicion this is a closer to the final product the 12+ maps.

Adirondacks do fine. The big snows will be from central vermont northeast to northern maine. Saddleback could get destroyed with feet of snow by their opening day
