OF COURSE YOU NEED A ROOM. What do you think, you're only skiing one day? yuk, yuk, yuk!How much snow you think Platty will get. Storm will be over by Saturday so I don't need a hotel Saturday night?

Now Im in Westwood…..52 miles each way,Only good thing is I can go in early as I want. So right now 5am to 1:30pm is working for me
Sucks getting up at 3am though,but nice to be home at 2:30.Getting up to ski is a piece of cake !
My guess is the snow will be really light and that could be bad news for a non existent base in the woods.

The mid-December storm delivered about 12" on bare ground, we skied a couple days with all areas "Open", though one needed a pretty big ski or to not really care if bases got scraped a bit.
As of today, there is about 1" of hard frozen slush on the ground at the top of the mountain, a bit more as you go down to the base. With anything over 6-8 much of the woods will be in play, especially those sections adjacent to snow-making trails (Tomahawk, East Glades, Al's Woods, Blizzard Island.) Not sure I'd venture into Horace's Grove, Roger's World or the cliffs west of Beast without a bit more coverage.
I'll be Patrolling the woods and steeps there Friday on the Maestros.
Absolutely whiskey will be with me. Hope you be there to.
How did you get the ski areas to overlay on that?
Here are some other ones I did earlier today. http://forums.alpinezone.com/showth...-2nd-3rd-storm?p=809650&viewfull=1#post809650That's cool, how do you get the ski area names to overlay like that? Sorcery?
I used a graphics program to create a new layer, which I typed the resort names over. I then merged the layers. Right now I'm having a resolution problem uploading files to AZ. I've got overlays for most of New England now. It's pretty handy.
Yes. Lots of wind. You will often see strong winds on the backside of a storm. I'll see if I can dig up a chart.Any idea on winds for Friday?
It will. Trust me.Good! Hoping the cold and wind will keep most away.
You'll just have to put up with the fuzziness for now. I think it's something I control / can fix, just can't put much more time into this. Gotta get my equipment packed. I'm using it to give me advance guidance on where I will go. I still won't make a decision until I see the election numbers come in tomorrow night.Keep it up. It's really helpful.
