Yahoo weather is currently showing winds of 20-30 for tomorrow (better from what they were showing earlier), which is brisk, but doable.
I see snow, I don't see wind :lol:

This is my position: I'm really interested in meeting the folks and if I get some skiing in, all the better. I'd be happy fooling around on North Lynx, Gatehouse, and hopefully Bravo. I have a group of folks I am really looking forward to seeing....
But then again I have a pass and have nothing to lose.
I say let's not be wishy washy lil !%&%s and stick to the original plan. I have found in the past that if I lived by weather predicitions, I would have missed half of some of the greatest times in my life. Then again, it may be crap but at least it's not work and these are the chances you take. Win, where do you want to meet up :lol:
all kidding aside, i dont see anything wrong with people making contigency plans. i know what a long haul it is so people shouldnt be chastised if they want to leave their options open.
that being said, i'll see whoever ends up at the bush tomorrow.
who's drinking with me tonight, more importantly?
i'll be at the golden lion by 7ish. leaving now, gotta make a pit stop in manchester hn.
Here are my thoughts. We have incredible icing on the lift lines and our maintenance team is chipping away at them. We should have some more lifts turning soon. It is snowing and the surfaces are getting a lot better. I think by tomorrow from here North in Vermont is going to have some excellent skiing and riding through the weekend. The big question is the wind, and the forecast is for some of the strongest NW winds of the winter tonight and into tomorrow morning. Hopefully, they will start to come down earlier rather than later in the day. I would guess that the trees are going to be great tomorrow and for the weekend and that all the trails will be good to very good as well given what is falling from the skies now and what fell the past two days. Already there has been a big improvement from early this morning!
The good news is that the duration of the season is being helped by what came out of the sky yesterday. Very little rain, snow and sleet and then freezing rain last night, so no loss of snow pack.
I think Win is right, and not just spinning. We didn't even have much loss in the valley and it's snowing even down here. By tomorrow, the surfaces should be just fine at SB. I don't know about wind, but hopefully it won't be too bad.
Greg--I wasn't saying "suck it up" at all....I was just saying that I really don't care...and want to be with the AZer's.
Nevertheless, Win is being very generous hosting AZers and as the site's admin, I am going to be there. The camaraderie will make up for any limited terrain. Hopefully the winds will lighten up overnight or the upper lifts will open later in the day tomorrow.
Is Win giving AZers free lift tickets?:smile:

OK then, I'll say it. Greg suck it up! I'm driving in for one day from joisey, you don't see me whinin like a lil baby
Yeah, but you can't handle the upper mountain terrain anyway...
Doh! :-o Yes, I did... :lol:
Just kidding Zee man... :beer:
Damn, it could really suck having this 250 lbs dude accidentally falling on top of your lil scrawny ass cause he was skiing behind you trying to prove he could handle upper mountain terrain. :lol:
Not even worried. I'll just put Brian in between us to slow you down. Not that you can even catch me anyway...
Dude, sounds like a challenge. Be forwarned, I may not have the purtiest form, but I'm not scared of speed. 250 lbs coming at you!
:-o
See you tonight/tomorrow. You're staying at the Lion, right?
Yep, should be up by 10
any know if Sugarbush considers this a holiday weekend and if so, would lifts open @ 8 AM tomorrow instead of the regular weekday 9 AM?
Spot on. MRG can often spin when upper mountain lifts at the Bush can not. But as you mentioned, wind direction will be a factor. And the Double and Single head in different directions and have different wind issues. Jay already has 8" and counting, the prospect of driving over to Bush and having the place on lift hold while Jay is pushing well over a foot is not promising. Packing my skins just in case and heading to Jay tomorrow. Hope you all have good luck in the Valley regardless which mountain you end up at and perhaps another day I be able to share some more turns with y'all.I do hear of the single going on wind hold, but I think it spins more often than say Heaven's Gate or Summit on a windy day. Part of it is wind direction, not just wind speed. I really hope Castlerock spins tomorrow. I'll just do laps over there.
