Fat Lady Thread 2017

Jack Frost is done for the season. 3/26 was their last weekend. Big Boulder will probably shoot for mid-April I think on a weekend schedule.

This pending storm, is going to put a money wrench in many resorts, who were fully ready for this coming weekend to be their last weekend of operations, in a bit of a quandry........

They might still either close this week or just try and eek out 1 more weekend, next weekend. It isn't like this storm is going to be gigantic.

And at this point the snow isn't sticking around for long at all. We've already lost a ton of snow in just the past couple of days.

Good point also. This colder weather and some rain is better for snowpack retention than that warm weather a few weeks ago though. Next week looks like it may stay pretty cool up North as well and there's a chance at some snow, but it'll most likely be more rain than snow (guessing).

LOL. I'm still hoping to make it up north (Tremblant or Northern VT) for spring break, but then the ski rack is coming off.

Jay and Stowe both 100% open right now....crazy.

Sugarbush is still at 100% as well, although I'm sure some of those trails could be debatable.

Mt Ellen is done on April 2nd, this is likely the last weekend for Mad River Glen

Blandford - similar name, same result, closed last week. They don't make much snow and apparently 20 inches wasn't enough to reopen this past weekend.

Bad news on Blandford, poor cash flow. I hope they can make it, its a decent small area.

That's really tough. I hope they can make things work. I learned to ski there. Great area. I would be sad if they had to close down.

Big fat storm on the way for vt friday...

Big fat storm on the way for vt friday...

Indeed. 12-18 inches by the end of it on Saturday. I was supposed to leave today for Rutland but am delayed until tomorrow morning. Hopefully my Toyota Camry can make it all the way from Albany...

 

[kingslug]

Only question is will it dump that much at Stowe. I want ti hit K first but the wife has other ideas..something to do with skiing with her friends. Not that skiing at Stowe is a bad thing but if they only get 6 inches and K gets over 12, I would be happier at K.

Any word if this is the last weekend for Attitash? Daughter wanted to do a weekend at the grand but thinking Crotched this weekend.
