You pays your money and you takes your chances. But even a bad day skiing is better than working.
Hold that thought...we'll keep watch on the trend and keep you posted.

How's wind speed looking for sunday at killington?
Southeasterly probably 30-40mph summit winds (PM) helping to push warmer air aloft up that way, hence the icy mix scenario. Plus, along a NE facing slope won't help much for lift operations, especially if they get gusty.

My plan, since I have to work and finish holiday errands, is to grab some "pre-season-rate" skiing starting on the 18th and continuing until the 24th. So I'm hoping for good stuff anytime from the 18th onward.
Saturday for sure. Sunday is looking ugly and will probably be sloppy in the afternoon.
After a big low parked over us for next week (cold and snow showery), you should be in good shape for the 18th on.

How far west do we need to go to avoid any wet stuff?

Looks like Monday might be the better day at Killington. Correct?

Ahh, the purest definition of a "sick day".

Monday should be better than sunday - but not likely as good as the rest of next week as once the storm goes by, the winds should shift back to a direction favorable for another upslope event!

We're adjusting that this morning. Looks like Monday would be a recovery/fixup day of blowing snow/grooming. Rest of the week could be similar to what we just had last week with waves of snows for northern resorts (stalled low pressure to the north--accumulations may not be as much though). It'll be cold too! Brrr.
Hey John,
While this storm pushes through Monday with colder temps, mountain crews will fixing things up after the Sunday slop. Not sure if you want to wait things out Sunday to test out the Monday carnage.
I decided to use your technical weather term for the SoVT forecast...see Sunday's forecast for Mount Snow.
