Not bad for now. NH/ME should be in the jackpot region.

Yeah, the region around Sunday River needs some snow! Not much in the woods at all!

I hope I didn't speak too soon...they'll be on the edge of the heavy stuff so I hope they can get in on the action. Just across the border in NH, Cranmore looked like it, too, was hurting for snow from a few of Bill's pics.

Thanks for the info Winn.

I look forward to monitoring what you have to say.

I'm locked in for SR on Wed... (My boots are there at my buddy's condo). If somewhere between SR and home has much better conditions for Thursday, I might pay them a visit instead of staying at SR.

Ah ok. We'll be watching anywhere from SL thru Attitash, Gunstock, and Crotched but will keep you posted.

We're about to give some Saddleback passes away on our Facebook page (7pm)--check on over if you're interested.

I got Thurs off, tell me where to go! :lol:

Or would Weds be the better day? Anything falling after the lifts close at 4pm?

Yeah I hope Cranmores race trail has decent coverage. My son has Races there this Friday and Saturday. I dont need for his race skis to get messed up!

I'd like to see Gunstock benefit the most out of this one (closest to heavier snow and slope orientation). Perhaps Waterville too. It'll be a busy day tomorrow narrowing this stuff down.

Bulk of it pushes through during the day Wed (mostly AM, winding down late PM)...probably showers after dark.

This changing forecast is making my day!

Meh. I want cumulative untracked. Where are the winds going to be the worst Wednesday? Who should shut down all lifts Weds and reopen Thurs. I am still liking Thurs for my purposes, just going with an area that won't be open on Weds.

 

[wa-loaf]

Keeps getting deeper. Though I'm sure they'll back off of all this at the end

Pico's always closed on Tuesday-Wednesday. Just not a good storm for it.

Already on the short list. Will be interesting to see if Magic opens Weds. I could see Magic skiing amazingly better on Thurs after cumulative snow fall. MRG opens the Double tomorrow. Will be interesting if the Single is kept off line on Weds due to winds.

 

[John W]

So what is being said now. Is killington going to get anything this weekend? Looks like it is just on the edge of significant accumulation.... 5-7 inches sounding about right at this point.. Mr Chill??? Happy new year to all by the way...

Sundown. FTW. :lol:

Actually, given the New Hartford snow hole, I'm betting on about 6-8"...

Im hedging my bets that these 2 storms collide over the greens, but Im no weatherman and I have been drinking

I'm with you on this. Even if there is a good dump, half of it's going to occur during operations. I'm sorta thinking Pico Thursday and Magic Saturday if the storm tracks further north. Otherwise I might just hit Sundown Wednesday night and burn my blackout floaters at Kton this weekend.
