January 6th Inland Runner

[wa-loaf]

Snow fog on the drive all the way in. It was rising like steam from a boiling pot.
It was also colder in my garage than outside. Oh, I can't wait for all this black ice tonight!

The temp in my garage was still in the 20's this morning. My car fogged up so bad when I pulled out it took almost 30 minutes to fully clear off.

Well these winds just made my early week vacation at Jay and Smuggs go to shit. Hello wind.holds.

sux

 

[billski]

This planned trip is equal parts ski and beer safari.

- maybe more weighted toward the later?
I'll be on slope at Stowe/Sugarbush starting Friday. I might be spending more in the bar and restaurants than I planned...

Going down...

Stowe

I did not know Stowe was in the European time zone.

So, what are the prospects for recovery in the Berkshires and S VT? Seeing a few hills closed today... cold over the next week, should get some man-made back on the ground, then some wet wintry mix coming up on the weekend. Anything shaping up long-term?

I need some good news.

 

[Euler]

Well, it's cold again...the base seems to have survived, and the snow makers will get back at it. I'll be at mountainsnow on weds and I'll take some photos.

Damage reports by people at various resorts late today would be appreciated.

The assessments will probably be forthcoming in the AM. Too difficult to assess in the dark, plus the snow needs time to drain before they put anything on it.

MRG brutally reported on it at 3pm today on their FB page.

FUgly. Makes me want to go to the JP water park

Crotched looks fine, although the woods that were really fun on Sunday will be out of play due to snow loss and freezing solid.

Here are your damage reports, sir.

Check the reporting dates CAREFULLY. Some are yesterday's report.

I am skeptical of some of these base numbers, especially the lower number.

I'm skeptical of any report that doesn't include Frozen Granular...

Some of the abysmally low trail count should go up as ski patrols carefully check the trail conditions as the day progresses.

 

[deadheadskier]

Skiing is remarkably pretty good at Crotched today. They've already refreshed about half the mountain and are working on the rest. Still plenty of frozen granular surfaces around but most of the main runs are skiing great; especially Meteor.

St Anselm college women's ski team is training here today which is also nice. :grin:

WOW - Some of those look like early December Reports difference being - we are in full rate season! We are in desperate need of a real blizzard!

Anywhere that's got decent snowmaking has got a nice window to freshen everything up and should be decent by the weekend. Like DHS said they are busy freshening at Crotched. My home bump has 3 or 4 trails closed today and is piling it on, I'm sure 3 to 4 other trails will be closed tomorrow to do the same thing. I bet MOST places are 75%+ open for the weekend and as long as we don't lose too much base look forward to a wee bit warmer weather (- the rain, please).
