Do you think we could take that red area in Rhode Island and migrate it north and west, where it could do some good?

no kidding.

what a waste of perfectly good snow.

Live right up the road from the mighty Goo. Ski it if you dare! It's actually fairly far South in RI. They claim over 200 feet of vertical but I don't know. It's basically a couple of head walls with a flat in between. Base elevation can't be more than 50-70 feet above sea level and it can't be more than 3-4 miles from the ocean, as the crow flies. It's largely a local kids hangout. Given the location, they do a great job with snowmaking. Certainly not someplace I'd drive very far to ski, but I do think they do a terrific job as a small local hill. Parking lot is often quite full. They also have snow tubing, a water slide in the summer, and it doubles as a day care.

I used to ski in Rhode Island and felt a little guilty that I never gave the place a try. People who went seemed to have a good time. You do the best with what nature gives you.

 

[Zand]

12-18" here Monday. Wachusett jackpot.

 

[SkiingInABlueDream]

Guys, looks like Yawgoo Valley is gonna be nipple deep on Monday. who's in????? :roll:

a south eastern storm is the way its looking now. no watches for even litchfield county in ct, never mind the berks, catskills or southern greens.

Arghh! I'm up at Mount Snow where the snow is really needed and that red area over NE CT/NW RI covers my house Atleast if I was at home in CT I could have some fun with the snowblower

 

[danny p]

I guess some good shifting happened overnight!.. I haven't been following this one since I'm still not skiing, but there's now a Winter Storm Warning for SoVT. 2-4 inches tonight followed by 3-7 more tommorrow. Have fun people! For me it only means I'm paying someone to snowblow my driveway again :-(

 

[tequiladoug]

I'll be at Stratton tomorrow gate judging....hopefully I can sneak 6-10 runs in

Snow will overspread the northern berkshires...and southern
vermont late this evening...and become heavy toward daybreak
monday. Winds will increase to 15 to 25 mph with higher gusts
overnight and continue monday...causing blowing and drifting of
snow and reducing visibility. Snow will taper off to snow showers
monday night with accumulations of 5 to 12 inches likely...with
the highest amounts over the east facing slopes of the green
mountains and northern berkshires.

I live in RI and I have been to Yawgoo 2 times. It's bad. I know they do a good job with what they have, but It's not worth it to me. Id much rather drive the 1 to 1.5 hr drive to Wachusett than the 20 min drive to Yawgoo. It's more like a sledding hill than a ski area....not trying to bash the place, but just sayin. BUT it is where I put 2 sticks on my feet for the first time.

 

[Chesser]

Forecast for the spine of the green mountains looks much improved. Snow starting late tonight north of Rt. 2, continuing steadily early Monday, tapering off a bit Monday evening. Projections: 1" tonight, 3-5" Monday, chance for 2-4" Monday night/Tuesday.

That's a rapid improvement from even yesterday's models. And welcome.

 

[JD]

Will the Snow pack recover for my next 2 days off???? Might be a good time for some taconic scouting....

 

[2knees]

Tonight: Snow. Low around 20. Blustery, with a north wind 10 to 13 mph increasing to between 18 and 21 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 7 to 11 inches possible.

Monday: Snow, mainly before 1pm. High near 23. Blustery, with a north wind between 15 and 23 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 7 inches possible.


thats the forecast for sundown/new hartford.

10-18 inches. holy crap....could there be a white room involved?

 

[Johnskiismore]
