Small system moving through Wed/Thurs and the chance for something major Sunday.

Feb is starting to look good.

I love driving up to Sugarloaf in the middle of a storm, do not want to drive home in the middle of one ...

If that happens you'll have to stay. It'll be much too dangerous to drive home.

I am only going to get one day on the slopes this year but I'm hoping for a perfect 10 powder day at some point towards the end of February or early March. I like that the models are setting up nicely!

LOL....One does not drive away from a ski area in a storm ...."I'm Snowed in !"


edit :slap: facepalm ..what Moresnow said

lol, normally the case, but the folks watching my kids won't see it that way. And they also know that I drove up to Maine mid-Nemo 2 years ago so it's got to be one hell of a storm to keep me off the roads.

How do you keep your boots warm in that kind of weather ?
a few...
Skip the AM caffeine...
A really warm core...
A little room for warm air in the toebox and width enough for the Metatarsals...
the Boot Glove...or maybe part of it? (yet to try)...
Slightly thicker/warmer liners...
Anti-perspirant powder...
(have heard of) black? pepper mixed with the powder...

Am no expert but when SL is home...you need a plan..

Reminds me of the time I was stuck in the Florida Keys on Spring Break because the only road in/out of the chain was impassable due to wild fires. That didn't suck.

Starting to get worried another weekend is going to feature significant sub-zero windchills and high winds. :mad:

I've used the Boot Glove and his year and it works pretty well. Or at least my head tells me it does 😉

re: warm feet. I was skiing with a woman last weekend who insists that two layers of thin socks, with cayenne pepper between the sock layers will do the trick. Maybe, but I don't wanna mess with cayenne pepper during a day of skiing. :sadwalk:

The 10-day is a veritable roller-coaster of Lows scrambling through the northeast, and with PLENTY of cold air firmly entrenched. This pattern looks really great to produce white gold.
