Big storm coming???

No. Trail count doesn’t matter after a 2 foot dump. Cut it out with the trail count bs

Only reservation on this is, how much did Platty really get? they are saying 12-18. 12" on bare ground...I don't think that's enough to call it all open..A trail count would give us a little idea of what's rally happening there...Bell seems to have scored a good bit more, and we saw pics of everything in play.

Hunter looks like they groomed everything already, and will be a zoo.

Bell might be the best best for some good skiing....

We'll see!

If I were doing cats it would be bell or platty. Hunter will be a nightmare

Ski patrol may think different this weekend. There werent many around on Monday.

Jim confirms that bell is great today
Most likely I be there Friday and Saturday

 

[kingslug]

yup..might be better and easier option than Mt snow then Hunter.

Lots of fun to be had at bell with snow, that’s for sure.

Fur sure, even the trails are fun! And I think I waited two gondola cars at most. Most runs were straight on, no waiting, on a two foot bluebird powder day! Glad it was a weekday storm. Glad I was able to take off work. I have a habit of making it to work when most people don't, and somehow being "sick" the next day.[emoji16] If I were more ambitious, I could've even gotten a couple hours storm skiing in at Greek as I left work at 11:30 Monday. No regrets.

Bell was sooo fun today. Ropes were dropping mid morning and the last of the leftover chowder was tasty. Snow below the top head wall got pretty heavy after lunch where ungroomed.

Belleayre was awesome today. My rock skis never left the car really enjoyed my first day on the Kore 105's. Skied pretty much everywhere and the place was empty. Still fresh lines to be found after lunch ended the day without a scratch on my skis. Some pics:






Lot's of snow a little dicey in spots and some open water in trees still but what a day.

Thanks for the pics JimG. Looking like a couple inches for tomorrow so the weekend should be awesome.

On Monday patrol didn’t care about ropes at all. Might be different for the weekend but it’s not going to stop good skiers if the snow is good. I would expect more trails open like Seneca top, Onondaga to horseshoe to roaring brook, possibly RB from the top too.

I’ll be there Sat and Sun if anyone wants to meet up for a couple runs.

 

[JimG.]

Looks like Scotty, Cornhead, Rambo and I will be there Sat.

Pretty funny you mentioned that patrol didn't care about rope ducking; the only person who did seem to care was the lift attendant at the top of Superchief who saw me duck into the top part of Belleayre glade and made a point of confronting me about it at the top of my next ride up. I had a hard time not laughing at him but I used the side entrance at the top of Wanatuska to silence him. Bonus was it allowed me to simply ski through to the top of Belleayre run so I got all of that goodness too!

Hoping the abundance of powder on the main trails keep people off cathedral brook and the trees surrounding it....

Wish tomorrow was saturday.

 

[kingslug]

A new plan for Saturday is brewing...
I'm in for Saturday..not in the mood for super zoo at Mt Snow..yet.
Hunter Sunday

 

[tnt1234]

What's the lodge situation this year? Is overlook still open for tickets? But doesn't sound like Lift 7 is spinning.

Rentals only down at discovery, right?

Hunter Sunday

My plan too!

(assuming I don't have another snuffa with my car again like 2 weeks ago, Hunter and I don't seem to want to get together )

XC skiing Saturday.
