Think Sunday will be decent? I'm not sure how much snow they got or how the impending weather on Saturday will affect the terrain. Supposedly they are 100% open. Wish I could get out tomorrow!

Come tomorrow if you can!

I don't even want to make you feel bad by describing what it was like today and supposed to be for tomorrow. Yes, they are saying 100% open and that is will be the "best day of the season" and for good reason. I came last night and skied today and it was snowing all day both wednesday and today and tomorrow should indeed be epic. I'd say there's almost a foot of fresh powder on the ground now, on top of what was there from last week. :snow:

I skied today and it was pretty intense. Lots of powder to play in. It was a lot of fun! I like groomers so I'm hoping for some nice combination of powder/groomer tomorrow. There will be plenty of everything I'm sure, including glades. Can't wait! :spread:

Then there's the "but". Unfortunately the forecast for Saturday is not good :sad:. Tomorrow night it's supposed to go downhill with icy mix, Saturday it's supposed to be mid 40s. Rain, showers. But some snow is forecast for Saturday evening or Sunday could save it. I guess it depends on how much of an investment of time/money you are making as to whether you are still planning to come here.

I'd give it a shot if you have your heart set on it. Coming up for a few days? If the rain isn't too long/prolonged and it cools down on Saturday night with a bit of fresh stuff on top they might be able to save it and it will be decent Sunday/early next week.

Well I myself could get there tomorrow. But my uncle had planned to come from NJ to ski on Saturday. I told him to consider Sunday because of Saturday's weather. Oh well. I guess I'll follow the weather in hopes of a somewhat decent day on Sunday.

If you can come up alone tomorrow I'd do it. I see you aren't far.

I think Sunday should be OK. It'll rain here Saturday but hopefully it'll stay cold enough MOST of the day for predominately ice/sleet and then turn back to snow and get cold and they will groom it out. They have a really nice base now to work with. I'll be even the glades will be ok.

If I could stay here longer I would def stay. Unlike some areas the winds look pretty calm here. Even Saturday might be decent. Sometimes skiing in the rain is fun. I've done it and it's not bad as long as it's not pouring constantly.
