This Wednesday to Thursday storm looks bad. Looks like another boilerplate condition.

I will be in Lake Placid but Vermont looks even worse.

For the weatherheads, when is the next Euro or NAM run?

keep the faith
Lookin' firm and fast for this weekend. Thinking the rain won't be too bad / very much but a couple warm days followed by a temperature drop Friday is gonna make ungroomed/natural terrain kinda rough on the feet.

Being a long holiday weekend I am optimistic Sunday River will be full on resurfacing. I have no problem skiing under the guns. And luckily I'll get tomorrow and Wednesday in before anything goes south.

I was really looking forward to a 3-day ski weekend and I keep running the weather models hoping for a change, but it's not looking great. Just ran the GFS and the Canuck and both show a bit of rain Wednesday, but then rain Thursday night into Friday morning, followed by thermodynamics panels that hit single digits Friday night into Saturday morning. Sure hope this changes. :(

That was my plan too, but I may cancel given the weather and no Lookout on a holiday weekend. Either that or maybe we'll go anyway and cross country ski or snowshoe Saturday and ski Sunday hoping the extra day will help out the grooming situation. Dunno. If you've never been to the FIS Aerials you should check that out on Saturday night at the jumping venue.

plattekill and the cats in general looking ok for the weekend. only question is how much base do they lose beforehand.

Is there any chance that the natural snow trails will survive for the weekend? It's not looking likely to me.

Depends on your definition of "survive". Upper elevation trails will be solid, but may not lose too much base at places further north that have good depth right now. If they are open after they refreeze, they certainly won't be worth skiing though until some decent snow falls.

Blacked out for the holiday weekend. Maybe not such a bad thing given the conditions and inevitable crowds.

Right where I want to be
Going somewhere in VT Friday see conflicting on when it stops - some say early, some say nothing on Friday some say stopping later on Friday while others say snow showers in the afternoon and nothing else. The rest of the weekend I'll play by ear and eye.
