Aren't you the one who advocate skiing a lot in the east to get in shape to prepare for the western trip? :)

I saw that and had been contemplating staying up in VT Sunday night and skiing on Monday.... Now it seems like heading home to CT on Sunday and putting away Christmas Decorations might be the better option!

Hoping Mother Nature gets over whatever has been pissing her off about skiing in the Northeast thusfar this season and things start to improve soon!!

CPC shows an increased chance for below average temps through mid month. Also a chance for some fresh later this week. Screenshot_20220101-090001_Chrome.jpgScreenshot_20220101-085942_Chrome.jpgScreenshot_20220101-085932_Chrome.jpg

Im looking at the Nitro lift at Carinthia/MSnow and its ski on....more puke yellow Vail lifty jackets than customers. Hard to believe this is a weekend in "winter"..were heading home after a hike with the dog.
Great to see the snow making temps will be coming back soon...
