Nice, glad someone is getting some.

The warm weather probably means warm water, so when/if the cold sets in there should prob be a lot more of it before the lakes start to freeze over.

Erie is supposed to get going too. I've seen predictions of 1.5 to 2ft for Erie and 2 to 3.5ft for Ontario in the Tug hill from the NWS Buffalo. Excellent Smithers.... excellent.

When I awoke this morning I can say Rochester got zip, maybe an inch. Nice that 5-9 was "predicted".

Seriously Rochester got shafted. I was hoping to wake up to shovel-able snow but only about 1/2 inch fell in the city where I am. We were just in between the LE bands.

Snow Ridge website said 10 inches as of 4pm yesterday. Any further detail of additional snow?

I think I'm going to head up to the TUG region on Saturday and ride the lift for a bit then maybe skin around some of the parks with vertical.

My standards are pretty low =)

Perhaps I'll reconsider. I only go up if it's worth hitting their side country but no way to tell until someone heads up.

Maybe south to Holiday Valley instead.

This has me spending the evening breathing ptex candle fumes and base grinding tonight. My ski looks like I straight lined into a stone parking lot on a summer day. Thank you Bristol. The wonderful 50/50 mixes of snow and gravel you've provided at the trail edges are awesome! Make everyone ski in the scraped out center WROiceyD. :(
