January 6th Inland Runner

Bright side...this could be good for the woods. Tamp it and freeze it = base. Right now at killington its fluff on rocks in the woods.

I want to look on the bright side, too... At my local hill the woods are skiing really, really well - although some rocks are definitely showing through. R@!n is only going to expose them more... Maybe places with better snowpack won't be so adversely affected. This isn't the end of the world, but it definitely sucks. The skiing is just damn good right now!

I don't want to set your expectations TOO high...! As long as you have skied pats "woods" and know what they are all about, you should be happy. Like I said, there are some rocks showing through! Unfortunately I hurt my knee tonight, and I will be out of commission for a bit... I really wish I could enjoy more of this good snow!

I met Dlauge there for a few runs this afternoon. He said the cascade lift was pretty busy - presumably people are checking it out for the first time! IMO it's sort of a step up from the valley area - no challenge whatsoever. I usually stick close to the front of the mountain. Hurricane is skiing pretty well if you enjoy bumps (just don't twist your knee!), vortex is good, and FIS as well (including the "glade" on skiers right). There is also a little mogul field developing at the bottom right of FIS. Some other time I'd be happy to make some turns with you!

Some wild inversion happening. Just.drove.past Sunappe on the way to Smuggs and the car.says -2. At 5:30 am it.was 20/21 at the.summit of Madonna and Sterling at Smuggs.

Well this thing has moved even further west. Now instead of even getting 2-4 inches we are going to get less than an inch of snow/sleet/FR and then just plain old rain tomorrow :sad:.
The storm later this week is looking warmer too.

Skiing somewhere between SR and Loon on Tue/Wed. Going to make the most of it and demo carvers.

Wouldn't fret about the next storm. Too far out.

Yeah, this forecast sucks. I was planning on heading up to ski Smuggs, Stowe and Jay the next three days, but I'm postponing my trip until next week. Hopefully it will be a little better. Back in the fall I had bought one of those $10 Jay Peak Liftopia deals for Wednesday, so it looks like I'm going to eat it. Oh well. Only ten bucks.

Didn't you also get a fox44 card that has Jay on it?

I'm still heading up Wed.-Sat. Whatever it is it is.

Yep. Was hoping to save that for later in the season, but I could end up using it next week instead. It's also got MRG, Smuggs and Burke on there, so next week it will be Stowe for one day and any of those other mountains to fill out the three days.

Ideally, the conditions will be okay at MRG on Monday, so I can ski there and pick up some Lawson's Finest Liquids in Warren. I've got a case of Heady Toppers waiting for me in Stowe. Then hopefully I ski Jay on Wednesday and can hit up the Hill Farmstead Brewery on the way home on Wednesday to pick up some of their brews.

This planned trip is equal parts ski and beer safari. :beer:

 

[xwhaler]

Sounds like an awesome trip.....were doing a 3 mtn tour up there mid March....Jay, Smuggs, MRG/Middlebury

Hate to tell you but the long range has the same crap for the beginning of next week. I hope it's wrong for everyones sake.

 

[deadheadskier]

I'll take the gamble on the long range. If it's as bad as the next three days will be, oh well.

+1

 

[catsup948]

Long range isn't as bad as it could be. So far it looks like a mild up. High 30's below freezing at night from Saturday through Wednesday. Then everything reloads.
