bag it this weekend?

[gmcunni]

was planning to take off friday and go up to VT with my son. Ski (probably) Pico Friday and drive up to Warren to ski Sugarbush on Saturday.. forecast doesn't look horrible to me but everyone is talking gloom and doom. Should i bag it and go a different weekend?

if you're ok hanging on groomers it should be alright. i think everyone is gonna get rain tomorrow and then the cool down comes. even down here, i saw a projected low of 10 degrees on thursday night. trees and bumps will be pretty rough.

A different weekend as in next February?

Just saying that the ski season is winding down and you don't know what the next few weeks will hold. I don't know how we'll look after tomorrow, but everything was still 100% open as of today. I've got to think it will at least be decent this weekend. In any event, I'm planning to ski both Friday and Sunday.

fair enough. just hate burning a vacation day for less than great skiing.. have gotten spoiled with great luck the past two years. reality is, looking at my calendar, if i don't head up there this weekend i might not get there at all. hope you have room at the inn, i'll be needing a place to stay friday night.

i am bagging it for next weekend myself......

Sometimes you gotta just roll with it. I've had many days that I expected the worse and still had a good time. But yeah, off the groomers is going to be rough on Friday, if even at all skiable. Saturday looks better. Stick to terrain that gets the most sun. I think I read somewhere that you mentioned hanging them up in early April. If so, save the day for spring bumps up North in mid to late April.

I'm planning to end the season up north with a "bump" day trip to SB but it will have to be a Sat or Sun, i can't swing a weekday in april so i really need to take it this month. I keep coming back to this friday as next weekend leads into the B or B comp and i'm not going away that weekend.

If it's a use it or lose it situation, go and have fun with your son.

You never know. My best day of the year was this Friday at Stowe and I was totally expecting it to be teh suck.

My tentative plan is for Burke on Sunday, though possibly Pico or Mad River should the weather look a little better at either place.

We're going north this weekend (to Whiteface), but I'm kinda glad we're skiing Sunday - Tues. Gives the mountain time to work the snow after tomorrow's rain and the cold temps behind. things could be scratchy everywhere Friday, but the weekend temps look to be above freezing, and that is a good thing right now.

Boatin season kicks off tomorow! Then the earth will freeze solid.

Such doom and gloom. Ski in Southern Vermont or New York.

 

[Beetlenut]

I'm skiing So. Vt on Saturday. That is all!

 

[billski]

I'm getting out Friday regardless. No sense to stay cooped up inside. Bring the hibachi.

 

[LonghornSkier]

Just an idea, why not sugarloaf, looking at the radar and forecast they look to be getting mostly snow. They also have just as good terrain and base as anyone.

 

[frozencorn]

Free day at SR, courtesy Warren Miller, so I go, no matter. Need to burn some vaca days anyway.

 

[hammer]

Have Crotched SnoCards to burn...so I'll be going on Sunday regardless.

Should be OK on the trails that get sun exposure.

At least the forecast doesn't include NCP.

 

[SKIQUATTRO]

will be heading up to MRV saturday afternoon and skiing sunday either MRG, SB or Stowe...will make a decsion Saturday night while talking with folks at the bar, figure out where's skiing good...

i'm down in North Carolina this week and feel disconnected from NE weather. you saying that things might be better in SVT vs NVT due to it being warmer, resulting in softer conditions?

 

[danny p]

i'll be skiing @ K/Pico on Sunday and Monday....looks sunny and warm..should be good.
