I like the 1 beer buzz type of beers...9% does it.

I had a 10%er from other half the other week that straight up wrecked me... I even drank it over like an hour.
Makes beer #2 selection difficult.

Yeah, if we go at all it will be Friday after 4. Had hoped for Thursday pm or Friday AM, my girl has to work, couldn’t bang out on Friday!
if you like north of 8% try some Trillium!!

dot gov now has winter storm watch in effect and bumped up totals...
Clearly my beer tastes do not align with most of the people posting in this thread. 
I'm more of a malt rather than hops guy and look for places that don't focus on making 20 different IPAs. I enjoy a nice amber ale or red ale. Or a black lager, etc. I love a lot of what Collaborative Brewing in Waitsfield does. Drop In Brewing in Middlebury has some good stuff. Stone Corral in Richmond is great (and has great food too). Lost Nation in Morrisville is another one with a number of beers in my styles along with good food.

The first chef I ever worked for always said... "cold n wet will do!". The motto was very fitting for me being 16 at the time! Those were the days...

I can not drink lager anymore. Drank way too many when I was a teenager.
Love a good brown ale.
Also like a traditional stout. Not sure what the hell is going on with stouts and their flavors. It is like everyone calling every vodka drink a martini.
IPA’s are okay but some are too flowery for me.
Do not like German style such as Von Trapp makes.

Back to the storm. Forecasts all over the place...Friday morning? SOunds like Stowe will need 6 inches to cover the frozen or its going to be sporty as hell.

Yup. Need a MAJOR shift in the storm track probably 75-100 miles East to get at least NOVT into the "safe" zone like the ADK's appear to be with this one. Not sure if that's remotely possible given that we're close to the onset of the storm and the agreement of the model with the storm track. Plus just not a ton of cold air around ahead of the storm for it to work with either.
This one may very well cause the proverbial fat lady to sing at the end of the weekend for many of those East of the Hudson that are still spinning the lifts. Been a tough week with 3 sizable liquid storms for New England by the time this one is done from what it looks like....

Feel like Jay, Whiteface, and maybe Gore will be the only mountains to get a net positive out of this. Maybe Stowe/Smuggs/Bolton if things go well.
Jay might do well on the back end too.

Hope the 5 hour drive at 4 am is worth it. Who knows. I got lucky at PC with a foot of unpredicted...
I've been up here since the weekend. Conditions at Magic, Mt. Ellen, and Stowe the last 2 days have not been great. I'm hoping this storm is a good one as well!
On another note I'm shocked at how large the crowds are during the week. Yesterday I went out for an hour during lunch and had to wait 20 minutes in the 4 runner line to get on. The gondola was 10 to 15 minutes, the mountain triple had no line. I've never seen lines like this mid week at Stowe. This photo was on Tuesday around 11.30 am, where I'm standing in the picture was 10 minutes or so into my wait.....

I think the issue for NoVT may be how much liquid falls before the change over to snow happens. And maybe with some luck, a dry slot will hit during the liquid phase and not the frozen phase of the storm, as it looks on the radar that this system has a fair amount of moisture in it....
Wow...there were a lot of people at K yesterday, but even there the lines were nowhere near that. Most lifts were 2-3 minute lines if they had a line. K1 Gondola was 5-10 minutes.

And I won't know until after I start driving. Since crowds like that are on a day with nothing...the crowds with even a hint of snow will be nuts...
Last year the late storm brought out hordes and with the quad and Gondi closed it was 1 hour waits for just the triple.
And the hotel is not refundable. On that note ..what do you think of this: Hotel room advertised at $118.00..final price..$172.00 54 dollars in fees?

Im thinking Jay is going to be packed this weekend hopefully they get blessed with snow. Also thats a joke, Air BnB is like that as well where they have one price listed then add on 50% in bs fees.

Worst part is the site i used has no cancel policy..If I used the actual hotel site I could cancel up to the 1st. Either way should be interesting few days.
