Figure any recovery will come from mother nature and a bit of grooming. Not much snowmaking coming from here on - especially with the reduced food / bev sales this year. Glad I got on the snow for 8 of the last 17 days of 10p% coverage.

Told my wife a few days ago..this can change in a second..and it did. Glad I just got 9 days in a row in. A good 9 days.
Lets hope that goes both ways and we're back in it by weeks end. Definitely potential for some snow.

Skied Hunter yesterday, forgot how it was to ski soft sticky snow! Was great in the shade though.
One other observation I was made aware of is that with the warmth comes NON compliance with mask wearing! There was A LOT of "words" between the crowd and the lifties! Even saw a mom (with out even having a mask with her) taking pictures of her kids and their friends waiting in the lift line telling them to remove the masks for the picture so she can see them!!!!

Not much refresh for Northern New England now on Friday, storm trending south and totals are falling with that trend. 2-4 inches across central and northern NE. Cross everything it doesn't miss anymore!

Last gfs has pushed it further south... 🖕
Meanwhile this past weekend people were concerned the upcoming storm was going to be too far north and bring non-frozen stuff to the northeast. This is why it doesn't pay to get too worked up about storms more than a few days out.

Truth!

The only thing folks should use a greater than say 3 day range forecast for is to keep in mind that something *might* happen 5 to 7 or more days from now

I got out today late afternoon for a few at Bromley. Groomers are frozen granular with some packed snow but also a few underlying hard spots though not underlying ice. Trails would have benefited from a 2nd pass with groomer but given the late start (to allow snow to set up) and the extensive amount of terrain that wasn't in the cards. Tomorrow should be much better.

The sad thing is seeing glades, woods and mogul runs with solid coverage but topped with an unbreakable - and unskiable - crust. It will take a lot of snow and ideally needs a wetter snow to bond. 6" of pow won't do it. More like a foot. That or 45 and sunny. Great spring skiing potential but such a rude awakening from what we have been skiing since MLK weekend.
