2/19 - 2/20 Storm Discussion Thread

WTH? Burlington office: northern vt/nh border - 3.8" of snow forecasted.
Maine office: northern vt/nh border - 11/8" of snow forecasted.

Does someone in Maine office loves the red color too much or this snowstorms these days recognize the state borders?

For Burke Mt I have heard forecasts as high as 18 inches and as low as 4 inches...

Snow just started here in northern NJ. Brought some wind with it too!

have to stay south...ragged or okemo? okemo all snow but could be crowded and not get a ton of snow. ragged may have a rain mix. what do you think? any other good option?

If possible Sugarbush or northward..why do you have to stay south??? Okemo doesn't have much pitch for a powder day.//.

You're in MA. If Eastern Ma - make a run for Loon (just bang up 93)? May be a zoo, but they are in the southern zone of the sweet spot for snow (close to a foot).

I'm hitting it on Friday, with the kiddies, hoping to avoid the weekend crowd.

I dont have my license and my dad won't want to drive that north. were at my house in snh and okemo and ragged are my two real options. so do you think I take the chance for some rain with snow and go to the steeper less crowded ragged or okemo who is getting less snow but should get all snow?

 

[billski]

snowing moderately in Mass @ rte 90 and rte 495

 

[St. Bear]

I'm trying to be at Cannon on Fri. I just need to convince the wifey.

 

[vcunning]

where r u?

Euler is near Mount Snow as am I.

I've see 27 degrees (at about base level) and 3 inches already.

On a side note, Euler, I thought of you today on the Gut Superpipe. Get well soon.

Just started snowing here at Jay. The wind has also picked up. They closed the Tram around 2:00 and then closed the Flyer around 3:30 and removed all the chairs. As with previous storms I doubt they will run tomorrow but hopefully the Jet and Bonnie will still run.

 

[billski]

Hmmm. I forgot about that. Wind holds seem likely for Thursday which means a lot fo untracked for Friday. badabing!

I see the NWS ratched down their numbers by a couple inches.

I'm thinking Shawnee Peak. It is almost as dead as Black but is actually consistently steep.

Too great a chance for wet snow and change over to train that far south and that close to the coast. Maybe they will not get a mix, but it is not worth the risk, IMO.

With the threat of winds, I am still liking Burke. But may stop at Cannon to see if they can get things going. Nothing beats a Cannon powder day. I just fear that two-fer and crowds. But even with the two-fer, can't be much worse than a weekend.
