Wow those are some frigid numbers for Friday. However, Nothing feels better then being prepared, with all the correct gear on a peak. It's an amazing feeling. Girly got me the new marker thermals. Can't wait to test them.

Thinking of hitting up Berkshire East this friday....anyone think they will get enough to have full glades? Want to make my first trip up there so i dont have to risk getting caught poaching woods locally...

Berkshire East should be a good bet.

NAM goes gangbusters lol. E MA in a raging blizzard Friday morning.

Yup, too bad it's the NAM! But on the positive side, even when it spits out ridiculous pcp it usually at least grabs the trend. So it wouldnt shock me if the Euro and GFS improve at least a bit too.

I'll be interested to see if the GFS comes west a bit given it's eastern bias, which would be a nice thing for ski country.

My guess is the snow will be really light and that could be bad news for a non existent base in the woods.

Looks like Yawgoo will be having a powder day on friday!

Meet me at Magic. You can do it all legally there!

You most definitely will destroy your base but you will have fun in the process!

 

[billski]

Waa may be my best bet on friday too.....Hmm

Yawgoo will be better. and

Is there a problem?

Is there a problem?

Just a disclaimer. Like I said it will still be fun haha

NWS - keeps revising the temps DOWN up here at Mount Snow - the forecasted high for Friday is now -1 with a low of -19!!! And that doesn't even include the big winds forecasted too!!

Bundle up big time if you're going to go for it on Friday!!
