I can hear it now at Sundown, "There's too much snow!"

Wrong billski. You'd never hear that from management there.

 

[wa-loaf]

I'm sure the groomers are out and busily packing it all down at Wachusett. Can't go today anyway.

I meant the customers.

Good. more for me later.

Yo.

Taking off the rose tinted Sundown glasses for a minute, most I'd want at there is around a foot. Too little terrain for a full blown powder day experience (I'm expecting it to be fully tracked out by the time I get there,) but decent place for pow bumps and powder park landings.

I got that from two women at breakfast. "It's snowing too hard for it to be a good day skiing. You don't think there will be too much tomorrow, do you? They'll groom some trails, right?"

Lame.

It'll be tracked out for sure. But should still be great tonight. And as I understand the boys have gone off the beaten path and it's almost full vert tree skiing today.

They actually called this pretty well 5 days out. Impressive for once.

That likely means that the next 10 to 15 5 day out projections have about a 0.01% of playing out as projected! :lol:

 

[frozencorn]

You gotta be kidding me. The one day I'd want to venture to Blue Hills and they lose power and are closed. Now tomorrow needs to get here soon.

 

[soposkier]

I was about to head to Blue Hills as well, might go over to prospect hill and get some runs.

 

[mondeo]

Ok, this thing needs to move just a little. 20 miles, just stop increasing my pre-skiing shoveling workload, dammit.

 

[smitty77]

Somewhere between 16 and 20" of light pow out here in north central Mass. Going snowshoeing with the kids later today, maybe some shoeing at Wachusett or Monadnock tomorrow. Or x-country skiiing at Northfield or Windblown. Decisions, decisions, decisions.

 

[billski]

Mount Snow says they have 20"
Bromley 7"
Stratton 17"
Love that upslope!

Lord only knows what Magic got, but it must be good!

 

[lerops]

They pumped up the forecast total all over new england. Ski areas rock today!

Where do I look at for the Catskills version of this?

 

[roark]

At snow now, dunno about 20 but I'd believe 15"
Must've measured a drift. Wind is actually keeping things kinda fresh, not bad!

 

[2knees]

there is easily two feet near hartford and still puking. what a waste.

 

[kickstand]

...might go over to prospect hill and get some runs.

Nice!!! Pls post some pics if you do...

 

[wa-loaf]

I've "only" got about 15 out in my yard. But there are few more bands that look like they want to come through so we may eke out 18 once it's done.

 

[snafu]

Easily 2 feet plus in Hartford.
