Mohawk, Mountain Creek, and Thunder Ridge closed Tuesday due to wind threat, just to name the first three "local" areas I checked.

NO, STOWE SUCKS, everyone should go to the Bush thats where you will have the most fun!!!!:daffy:

No...The Bush sucks. Castlerock sucks. Everyone should stay far away! :snow:

Agreed. I was at sugarbush today. All the snow is gone. They started mountain biking early. Apparently stowe is the only place with snow and I hear it will be epic! :-o

Just shoveled about 8" of fluff at 6 AM, Binghamton, NY. Gonna throw my powder skis on my rack and try and hit Greek after work. Be nice if they let us leave early. Plan on taking tomorrow off and probably hitting Platty.

One could argue that it does matter to the mountains as the shifting track is what is helping VT see their projected totals continue to rise. :snow:

the storm track shifted north and west, sparing nyc and boston of the real brutal shit, but blessing all of new england ski country. i'm working from home anyway and it's chill as fuck. there are about 4-6" outside, with more drifted onto my car apparently. already did the first dig out of the day. i think it's easier to go out 2-3 times than handle it all at once.

vt is about to get pummeled with 2 feet and a 6" refresh friday-sunday!!!!!!

i'm gonna burke>magic

It looks like a foot, foot and a half so far in NW Jersey. I'm about 10 minutes from Mountain Creek.

Maybe 6" or so in southern Bergen County so far. The sleet has really held down the accumulations here. Not that I'm complaining. I care more that VT gets hammered, which is exactly what looks like will happen.

2 ft on the ground in Binghamton. My plow guy needs to get towed because there is that much snow in the parking lot.

My guess is that there was 10-12" of fresh powder when I finished up late this afternoon at Mt Ellen. rocks860 and I were among the "crowd" of maybe 50 people on the mountain this afternoon. Brambles and Inverness FTW! Still snowing hard at 5:30 PM.

I went back out to my car which had been parked at mount Ellen from about 12-3 and there was a solid 8 inches on it. The snow came up above where my car door opens
