Friday weather

Looking real borderline. Hopefully not another washout.... :roll:

Hopefully not another one....last weekend was enough. I'll be up @ Flatton (free tickets) and Mt Snow this weekend, hoping for the trees to be in play again....

I just have this feeling that even if we do get some rain and warm we're not done with the snow yet. The bright side is we'll get some spring skiing this weekend. Maps I saw still had some snow to the north.

Look for my Ragged TR later. If you get 6-8 at Stratton since iceup, you're good in the woodz.

Current forecast is too friggin warm for VT range of 41 to 39, SVT to NVT. Just pray that the upper els stay below. I think you need to shoot for resorts with the highest skiing els possible.

saturday looks awesome for spring skiing, hopefully friday doesn't do too much damage.

I'm not planning on spring skiing anytime soon. I want winter to last forever. I never tire of it! :flag:

It's a real tragedy that one to three feet of powder can be entirely trashed in less than a week. Last week, now this week. Ullr has kept his end of the deal, now we have to work out a deal with the sun god or the god of orbital angles.

1-3 feet of powder is usually trashed in a few days..so enjoy it while it's around and then wait for the next dump if you are a powder snob....or if you just like to ski like me..then just go everyday..you never know when it could be your last day so just enjoy everyday..and quit being a Powder snob..:-D

Rain in NE on Friday 3/6?

Hi. I was planning to go skiing somewhere in New England on Friday but see rain in the forecast. Any chance it will be raining closer to sea level but snowing on the mountain? I am not sure how the weather works but hoping.

This one is so marginal, I don't think any one is going to know until you are in it. Me thinks it's going to depend on how long it actually rains. The good news is that the groomers will have a full night to work on it, since temps will be back below freezing at night. Then it warms up during the day. Another good day for a resort that has good grooming. Not so much for the woods, though I hope I am wrong.

ugh...seems like the Northeast mid winter conditions season is coming to a crashing halt. just amazing after how excellent things were just 2 weeks ago....

you might have better luck going far north as you can. Maybe Sugarloaf Maine or Jaypeak might be impervious to this vile warmup. Or it might be time to think about going out west...

No
Yes
Maybe
Possibly

No

So what you're saying is that there's definitely a probable chance that there might possibly be some form of precipitation. Or not.

The Boston TV market would never hire you. You need to sensationalize it a bit, bringing in the threats of property damage, loss of life and serious bread shortages.8)

Is it suppossed to rain that hard? I've only heard showers possible. I'm a little surprised at some of the reaction to the warm up. I love snow and mid winter conditions too but I also love soft spring snow particulaly in the bumps. I am still optimistic that there is more snow to come this year up in the north country and that this is just a break from the action. The base at my home mountain still looks good and should be able to withstand a thaw. I'm looking forward to a spring weekend and all the spring activities that go along with it.

i learned long ago that if you have plans to go ski, go ski...most times the wx on the mtn is different from the forecasts as they usually state weather in the valleys....we're headed to bromley this weekend, will throw a rain poncho in just in case, but it'll be great spring skiing with some cold PBR's out on the sunny deck afterwards!!
