bag it this weekend?

[billski]

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 will be very interested in your report as I'll probably be up at Stowe the following weekend.

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?

I think that is a fair assessment. Rain for everybody today, then it stays below freezing until Saturday. No precip in the forecast through the weekend other than "slight" and that's not gonna change anything. So most likely FGR skiing through Friday.

I'm no forecaster, but looking at today's temp projections for Saturday, NVT will get a little about freezing, but SVT will be substantially above freezing (~40). This suggests FGR (at least on the summits) for NVT on the weekend, and soft spring conditions in SVT in the afternoon.

Of course the world could change between now and Saturday, so check the conditions/forecast on Friday.

NOAA forecast shows lots of sun and mid 30's in Warren, VT on Saturday/Sunday. I will be at Sugarbush regardless of what the weatherman predicts.

Those are valley forecasts, correct? If so, you may be 5 degrees cooler at the summit. If so, it will be groomed fgr on top and spring skiing at the base? Or is it the collective wisdom that at these temps the upper mt. surface will be soft?

Head northward...and enjoy the weekend..

I'm just happy the rain seems to have passed without significant loss to the snow pack. I have a few (very few) scraps of snow on the roof still, whereas I had none before that last little storm a couple of days ago. That tells me the week has been neutral or very slight positive so far in terms of snow pack. This is the weather for the next few days.

Thursday will be pretty hard, but after that it should be fine.

# Tomorrow: Partly cloudy skies in the morning will give way to cloudy skies during the afternoon. High 27F. Winds WNW at 15 to 25 mph.
# Tomorrow night: A few clouds. Low 4F. Winds WNW at 10 to 20 mph.
# Friday: Times of sun and clouds. Highs in the low 30s and lows in the mid teens.
# Saturday: Times of sun and clouds. Highs in the low 40s and lows in the low 20s.
# Sunday: Mostly sunny. Highs in the upper 30s and lows in the low 20s.

I am liking what I'm seeing for Sat and Sun in the North country. Hopefully the temps predicted will be warm enough to loosen up the bumps! Glad the post-rain freeze won't last as long as orig. predicted! Hope it holds/improves!

 

[BLESS]

I'll be @ Cannon on sat. free ticket.

Weekend in ADK for me. I'll wait until the last minute to decide if it will be 2 days at Whiteface, one Whiteface/one Gore or 2 at Gore. Tix I have good at both.

 

[tipsdown]

I'll be heading to Saddleback. They dodged a bullet on today (Wednesday) picking up 2 inches of snow and very minor sleet. Bumps and trees should still be in good shape...

Tough to tell. Last weekend was sunny and a bit warmer than predicted for this weekend. On Saturday. early run on Ripcord was "firm" but snow loosened up halfway down. In these conditions I like to start at North Lynx area which gets softer earlier in the AM and make my way around the mountain from there.

Castlerock run get good sun exposure and will likely be good to go by mid morning

Not to hijack, but which of the 3 would be likely to have the best snow this saturday:

Bromley
Okemo
Sunapee

Given the recent and forecasted weather, where would you go of the 3?

Bromley would get the most sun and it is supposed to be bright and sunny this weekend. If you are looking for spring skiing that might be the place to be.

 

[deadheadskier]

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

work happens. I won't be getting now until the last weekend in March

FWIW, there is a demo day @ Okemo on Saturday if you are interested in that sort of thing.

 

[wa-loaf]

I'm doing WA on Friday and Sunday. Not just free skiing though. Friday is a demo for next years gear and Sunday is our Racing Finals.

FYI: Okemo has their demo day on Saturday at the Jackson Gore base if anyone wants to demo. 15 companies there so you should be able to test about anything you've had your eyes on.

LOL, it's free too!

Dude! That sucks. This weekend is going to be gorgeous with outstanding views.
Hopefully, the delay will work out for you and we get a big snow storm between now and then. If you do hit Burke that last weekend in March, try to hit it on the 28th. That is Pond Skimming day and it is a lot of fun. However, I would only get to ski with you for a few hours since I will be skimming the pond.

Edit: I see you'll likely be at Sugarbush the 28th for the AZ gathering. I think Burke may be open the next weekend (1st weekend in April) as well if conditions warrant.

 

[deadheadskier]

Yeah, it will either be the 29th or the following weekend. I'm going to try and dump my MRG ticket and hit the Bush on the 28th. The weekend of the 4th I may try and swing down to the mighty Sundown.

FWIW, I just got back from Sunday Rivah and the snowpack there is impressive given the recent weather.
