Bummer. Just saw the black lift might be down for the weekend too.

My luck with Magic is just plain cursed. Every time I plan a day there something goes wrong.

Black lift was going to run? They only run that every other chair, and franlky it's sketchy-as-hell anyway so that wouldnt factor into my decision.

If the models are right they'd see maybe 5 hours of light rain and then the dropping < 32 temps. Is that enough to turn it icy? I have no idea.

really hard to say....sometimes that's not the end of the world.

The Hunter blogsite states that "Ticket sales people told me that the pre-holiday sales are off the charts so expect some monster crowds."

not that I expected anything different. You won't see me there this weekend......

If you're skiing Hunter on PDW Saturday, you're a person whose life choices probably result in crowds being the least of your worries.

Not from the slopes - to dangerous from a set of bleachers or a copter would be ideal !

Pretty much what i meant lol...
Will look like a scene from Rollerball

Killington was excellent today. Packed powder everywhere and still plenty of untracked snow too. Naturals and trees were amazing today maybe my best day of the season so far and that's really saying a lot, it's been a banner season.

I was amazed but glad I'm here for tomorrow too.

Anyone know if the Mt snow bubble is affected by high south to southwsst wind, sustained at 30 mph predicted.

30 isn't an issue for the bubble. SW is usually OK as well. Usually it's a true S or SE that presents more of a problem.

I hope the Bluebird is running normally tomorrow, or else, while I'm at work, I'll have to listen to multiple texts from my wife and son who are up at Mount Snow now, about how it isn't running tomorrow...

I am guessing Sugarbush should be fine this long weekend even if they get a little r*** tomorrow. Would regulars agree? Or non-regulars? [emoji3]

Yes, I would expect they will be relatively fine. I think worst case scenario they see some mixing or maybe r* at the base. Upper elevations could potentially stay all snow. If they're lucky, the snow line extends down closer to the base. No matter what, I don't think there's enough non-frozen precip to make a big impact.

It'll be interesting to see how traffic is tonight. It was pretty heavy on 91 north and south last night in the Hartford area and south. Wondering if a number of people left early to head north.

Snowing at K..decided not to risk wind closures at Stowe

tnt1234 · Feb 15, 2019

Well, this has been a fun thread - I hope everyone's plans work out just perfect!

I'll be at Magic or Okemo tomorrow and Sunday.

Have fun everyone.

BenedictGomez · Feb 15, 2019

It's still early, but so far I'm noticing real world temps on the leading edge are a bit warmer than modeled temps, which isn't good if we're hoping for elevation to keep it all snow.

drjeff · Feb 15, 2019

Snowing and winds are "nothing out of the ordinary" at Mount Snow per my wife this morning. She says that Plummet and Big Dipper have been her favorites so far....
