Well this is one Chevy owner who won't invade Whiteface. I may try to sway my uncle to Belleayre or something. I'm sure the snowmaking will help everything though.

Catamount, right? When is it not cold there? Mountain Run- I'm still trying to un-thaw from that terrible mistake. It would be a great trail if it actually got some sun, though.


Actually Wildcat Mtn....right next to Mt Washington....and facing North! No sun until March :)

Given recent conditions I was thinking groomers next week and take the GF to Stratton or Okemo but now she can't go and the weather is more uncertain. I'm taking Tueday and Wednesday and skiing where it looks best. Everything is on the table at this point.

Sunapee on Saturday, skiing solo in the am then with a friend in the afternoon. "Slight chance of snow..." I'll take it.

Snow in the forecast...
and a lot of wind throughout the weekend and in a direction that will shutdown lifts at Cannon possilbly.
Is the glass half full or half empty? :)

I say it's totally full ;) because I'm skiing in the Cats. Less wind, just enough snow (hopefully) to have some fun without the long drive and crowds.

Driving back from Loon right now, after a free ski day. Thanks MyFoxBoston !!!

Loon was blowing snow all day, and plans to all night. Can't say I was a fan of the snow they were blowing. Once groomed and packed somewhat it will be fine. But, right out of the guns it was slow and "stickey".

Crowd was light until 1, then it filled right up.

Skiied Jay today. Much better than expected. Low trail count, but decent groomer "packed powder/frozen granular" skiing. Honestly it was a much better day than I was expecting (as is always the case with iffy conditions). Hopefully the little bit of able forecasted for tonight and tomorrow will help to grow the trail count and maintain the existing open trails.

Mount Snow has a solid crowd today- not as big as New Years Weekend, but bigger than the usual weekend crowd for sure! The 30 million gallons of water they pumped out of the snowmaking system this past week has whats open skiing quite well! :fangun: Ripcord is AWESOME!! Steep, soft, moderate size and spaced bumps down the entire pitch! :)

Hit the homestead (CBK) this morning. Early start, yo-yoing till 11, (about 20 runs), ticket lines were getting long as I de-booted and there was a mini traffic jam coming in as I left. Same plan tomorrow, except I'll stick around the ski area (ie the bar, or friends condo) while the boy has practice.

Gore yesterday was busy, but the snow was surprisingly decent considering the thaw. They were blowing the summit areas all day. Base lifelines about 10 minute wait, (the gondola was probably 15-20 but I don't take that one when its busy, my skis won't fit in the buckets) but all of the mid lifts were either ski on or only a few minute waits.

The backside of the main peak was wind blown down to boiler plate and ice. The High Peaks and Top Ridge was good if you don't mind skiing under the guns. Everything had pretty good coverage, a few thin spots but not bad. Hope everyone enjoyed themselves this weekend!
