I can't tell what trail that is. I though it was Ike at first, but now I'm not sure...

That's Ike...enjoy that view while it lasts.

There's a race at Hunter this weekend and Ike is part of the course...those bumps will soon be history.

Evil. :angry:

Thought it was Ike. Kind of a weird angle.

Nothing much new today... Windham closed a few trails and hunter turned the guns off (for today only though, back on tonight).

Lake effect snow looks like it could bring some nice dumps to the Catskills tonight... :razz:

Maybe if the snow lines drifts south-east, up to 6" at the resorts.

Tomorrow looks very good. Even witout the natural things are in much better shape than they were just a few days ago. It is about time winter showed up in the cats.

The Kats are getting their Skillz back!!!

For the first time this season(excluding opening day and the AZ day) - I'm actually psyched to get out..

 

[adamti91]

Update: In addition to the upcoming snow, every mountain has projected a few extra trails for tomorrow (Plattekill should be opening according to schedule tomorrow, and with their snowmaking, I'm guessing around 5-6 trails).

Belleayre has been blowing snow on Yahoo! Should be opening soon...

It is about time. The local high school race teams have been scrambling for a place to practice / race.

I will be at plattekill all weekend as always. I will try and snap some pics and post them tomorrow.

 

[adamti91]

I think all the areas got at least an inch of natural snow last night. Plattekill has opened with 4 trails for today, and they are planning on 6 open tomorrow.

 

[adamti91]

Hunter is blowing snow again and all the mountains opened a few new trails today. The resorts bases are all getting deeper (Plattekill got a VERY late start this year), and trail counts are growing by the day!

 

[adamti91]

Windham has all 9 lifts open and a few new trails. 2 new trails for Plattekill. I'm headed up to Belleayre bright and early today for my first day of riding since Jan. 7th. I'll snap some pictures and have a trip report up later today. See you there!

Wanna see 'em and hear about it... it's tomorrow already....~~!

 

[adamti91]

The trip report was already posted last night. No pictures though, I'll try to snap some today for another trip report. Trip Report for 1/20/2007 at Belleayre: LINKY

 

[adamti91]

Updated original post. Windham opened up one more trail, other than that, nothing much. As noted in my 1/20/07 trip report at Belleayre (link in my signiture), they ARE blowing snow on Dot Nebel for races next week, so maybe the west side of the mountain (Tomahawk lift) will in fact open up as we get more natural snow. I'm headed up to Bell right now, and I will try to get some pictures for today's trip report. It's a bluebird outside my window right now, cold with NO wind!

 

[adamti91]

Updated.

 

[adamti91]

Updated again. No major updates, but I added the number of (as of now) unopened trails each mountain was blowing snow on.

 

[adamti91]

Windham has stopped blowing until later today, Hunter's website is down (has been on and off for a few days), so I can't check their conditions, and Plattekill is going to open up 5 trails by Friday, including their terrain park and their first diamond.

Their site is up right now, saying 35 trails.
