I'm heading to Sunday River on Saturday. Hoping that the storm does not produce rain and stays with solid snow both wednesday and friday!

According to 6 o'clock news in Albany, NY market, looks like the Berkshires and SoVt are gonna get twice what the Cats get.

Thx...
I already started today... Slipped out for some afternoon turns.

Hunter was sweet.. All the usual "haunts" had good snow.. It's snowed at least 6" since the hill closed.. The snow was thick... It's going to open up a lot of lines...

Kind of annoyed that for a few weeks my calendar at work was pretty open and it would have been easy to take a day and score some pow... but no storms. Now this, and I'm busier than I ever have been, with meetings every day through Friday.

Hoping to get out Saturday.

Hopefully they'll be at least one more storm this season that I can get out for...

Oh well, I'm happy I have a job...
