Yup..forecast is rain this weekend...then I'll ski in the friggin rain...and my wife...will complain...

I hear Hunter may reopen Saturday and close for Sunday... Fingers crossed... Still a shit ton of snow..

Just went up to wachusett to pick up boots from the shop. Signs out front say reopening Saturday and Sunday. Temps look spring-like this weekend too. Coverage still looks great and this week looks cold up to Thursday

Saw that. That is impressive. I will probably swing out to use my last max pass day. I can't get any further north this weekend sadly, so thrilled they are opening.

So ridiculous, Open Friday maybe Saturday? Good thing Belleayre is open.

They can sell a lot of beer on a sunny deck day.....I am sure that is being taken into consideration........

Ditto for me at Wildcat. I don’t even want to know the numbers.

It may be possible to get a few non rain runs in Saturday AM. NWS Albany has a bit more detail on the timing; saying later afternoon. We'll have to see what the next few model runs show.

I'm hoping to get one more day at wawa but I work Saturday and it sounds like they're hedging on Sunday per FB "We're not done yet! Lifts will be spinning 8am - 4pm Saturday & Sunday (weather permitting)"

Saturday should be glorious 8) Sunday looks a little cold and wet

 

[Smellytele]

Okay got the day off now I'll be at Cannon tomorrow. Maybe Mt Snow Saturday.

I keep looking at the weekend weather, hoping to get up to Jay Peak for one last weekend when it's in the 50s or 60s for warm spring skiing, but Mother Nature has decided that this is apparently the never-ending winter.

Maybe the last weekend of April at this point for actual 50s/60s. Next weekend perhaps 40s if we're lucky. At the moment I'd say areas that plan on going into the first weekend of May shouldn't have too much difficulty making it.

Stowe is looking rather..variable.

 

[kingslug]

Which has changed to a good amount of snow..hmm

What say the Weather Gods????????

What say the Weather Gods????????

Speaking as a weather guy....Still very uncertain. Recent models show Jay being too far NORTH, with a narrow sweet spot of Sugarbush and Stowe. But as I stated elsewhere this is a game day decision based on where the narrow band of snow sets up. Believe nothing until it is on the ground. But someone looks to get a "plowable" snow......

 

[BenedictGomez]

Speaking of the weather, it just touched 80 here!

 

[kingslug]

Well..im at stowe for sure....reports showing snow all week now..

 

[KustyTheKlown]
