Winn...much appreciated, great work! Saturday looks ok, winds maybe an issue, but with Bromley facing south, the winds would be mostly at the chair's back so hoping that wont put a hold on the summit.

may just go with plan A ...drive up Fri, ski saturday...may have to bag sunday...

No problem...I hate being out of the loop like that...even just a couple of days is an eternity in the weather world.

Anyways, yeah, we'll have to watch the winds on Saturday...are some of Bromley's slopes a bit more SE? If so, it could be an issue...will take a closer look at their trail map and eval the winds as we move forward. Saturday will be more showery and light like Dr Jeff alluded to, as this system takes shape during the day--perhaps some heavier/steadier precip west and north and maybe dropping in SVT late PM Sat with most of it Sunday. Wow, lots to look over! Will check back soon.

You know guys and gals, we owe WinnChill big this year. Let's let him chill a bit and get out and ski! Maybe even hand over some of those idle vouchers that are hitting the boards about now!

From what i'm reading, everywhere is going to get rain on Sunday. Personally, I wouldn't want to be skiing those days.

I'm wondering, what is Saturday supposed to be like? I'm thinking about going to Wildcat that day.

Does anyone know if Wildcat is good with the wind? Or not so much?
