Looks like we finally have some hope

[WinnChill]

I know King...with businesses and reputations at stake, this snow thing eats us up! Man, I can't tell you how I feel when I see a forecast go down the tubes...and then have to look at it all day! Ugh! I definately take it hard.

Well, accumulations for you will take a while to add up...and the higher slopes/summits will see most of it. But, yeah, hoping you can cover up the ugly stuff!

Cheers!

WinnChill,

I hear ya. As a skier, a snow lover, and someone whose business is also highly dependent on fresh white stuff falling from the skies, I find it incredibly depressing to look out the window every morning to the same cruddy looking snow.

For god's sake, can I at least get enough tonight to cover up the 50,000+ yellow holes drilled into the snow in the back yard?

By the way, nice looking place you got there at Golden Lion!

Cleared about 4" off the car here in Woburn.

KingM, keep us posted on what is happening in the MRV if you don't mind. I may point my car that way tomorrow. Though at this point, I really don't know. MRG reported nothing at lifts close for today.

 

[wa-loaf]

Magic is reporting 6-8" so far.

Mount Snow is reporting 5 on the ground via Facebook as of 5 pm.

how much snow is down up by you?

I was just about to report back on that.... I would say about 2" and snowing pretty good.

 

[deadheadskier]

bummer, we're over 6 down here at the seacoast. Was hoping Ragged would receive a similar total.

I'm saying 6" down here in Putney and it's still coming down. I went sledding with my kids and their friends this evening and had an absolute blast!

I wish I could give you something to work with. I've been looking out the window every fifteen minutes since I woke up, thinking, "Any moment now..."

I'm expecting to see the first of what should amount to several flakes of accumulation any moment now. But maybe we'll hit the jackpot and wake to find a solid dusting to 1/8" burying the valley.

7" here and beginning to taper off.

 

[riverc0il]

Snow has stopped here at 3" and the radar loops seem to show this thing is shutting off. Too early to call it a bust? Wondering if I should just cancel the vaca day for tomorrow at this point.

At 6pm magic reported in with 6-8, with some closed blacks being reevaluated in the AM. You know what that means. If those trails open, you may have fun, but you may bottom out. Your call.
Stratt and Mt. Snow also reporting about 6", but I'm sure they will be vastly busier. Thus, it seems that the good stuff hit SVT this time.


I'd tell the masses to head to Magic, just to drum up the business and enjoy a great, uncrowded day!

Too bad I'm in the office.

 

[riverc0il]

Too bad my vouchers are not valid during the Holiday week otherwise that would be the sure shot. Not sure I want to pay holiday rates to ski 6-8" over no base. May still take my chances at Cannon tomorrow hoping for some "mountain magic". Guess it beats working even if it would not qualify as a powder day at less than half a foot.

 

[billski]

If I could find a couple inches of fresh somewhere, I could manage a way to entertain myself
From a price point of view, you're better off in NH, where they don't have blackout dates. Gravitating towards the higher elevations is tusually he only way to work the mountain magic odds. You know all this stuff, just blabbin now.

Same here. Was all excited to hit Magic or Sugarbush this week...then looked closer at the vouchers. :-(

That's funny, just a few exits up from you and we have nadda! A few flakes and that's it!

Thanks for confirming my suspicions. Doubtful even Cannon got an inch or maybe two at best. I just took the dog out and the sky was perfectly clear with the stars sparkling. This one is over for central NH and it seems it never even got started in NoNH. Ragged might have gotten 4-5" but I ain't pull full holiday rate for Ragged especially whereas that small snow total is not going to open up any glades. I may see if the up slope kicks in later this week and reschedule the requested day off later this week....

Ragged Glades at this point would require 8-10 of heavy snow at minimum; especially with their conservative approach to opening them. Back in early January I was shocked they didn't open for at least a couple of days with what I saw with a quick poach.
