Man kills me that I am in work today since it looks like K, Wildcat and Cannon came out pretty well... I will be skiing somewhere sunday (most likely my home hill though). Man that weather yesterday though was depressing down here in the flatlands.

Whiteface saying only 7in? Gore with less. Sunday river=epic fail at 2 inches. Meanwhile, Sugaloaf had to break out the yard stick with 14-18in.

Looks like the central greens, whites and sugarloaf all did well

Cannon is reporting only 6 inches and the upper mountain trails are not in play. Sounds like VT areas got much more from this.

Stayed all snow at stupid Whiteface but only 5-7". Fuck this stupid mountain.

Did it blow away yet?

5-7 is better than 0-0

Haha.

In other news, 2" at Elk, supposed to get another 1-3" throughout the day, which may be low if it keeps snowing like it is now.

I'm at Wildcat. Their claims are legit. Only problem: this concrete snow is owning me. I'm using a pair of K2 Hardsides which aren't the best or worst powder tool. Tips dive even at speed and I can't buy a turn. Haven't felt this helpless on skis in years.

You could tell last night looking at the radar that quite a bit of New Hampshire was going to get screwed out of the higher estimates that were tossed about.

A) Is the F-word really necessary on a public forum?

B) It's not Whiteface's fault that you're completely unaware of the timing/duration of this storm. They're going to pick up a lot of snow through tomorrow.

Be honest........

I know. It was that bad.

J/k. Anything in the rental shop

I know. It was that bad.

That is why I decided to work today. I drove up this morning and looked at the mountain and turned around. It was freezing rain and that snow looked punishing. I am hoping it turns back over to drier snow overnight and tomorrow will be amazing.

Some of us appreciate those of you out there who are packing this snow down for us. Thanks!

That seems possible, but a stretch. It is wet and heavy. Great base building snow. Freezing rain all morning. Hope it gets colder. A little fluff on top would be nice.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Yeah, this event isn't the greatest snow to ski in, but it's the greatest ski base material you could ask for.

My thoughts exactly. By the weekend conditions should be fine, even if you have to stay on the groomed.
