Glass half full:

We haven't had any rain recently so the groomers are improving day by day. So, even though we can't ski powder, glades or bumps the corduroy is slowly getting deeper.

Love those sentiments!

Anyday on the hill is better than a day NOT on the hill in my book!

I have enjoyed his season so far. Two black eyes, hyper extended calf, hip bruise, bashed finger and bashed nose. Lots of good times. A memorable year for sure. :roll:

Mad River weather blog josh not looking to bad, he seems to think west coast will be getting some goods now, and north VT. as usually will do better then every where else. http://madriverglenweather.blogspot.com/

I enjoy reading his stuff, but that guy has been overly optimistic all season long, and as a result, has kindof been wrong an awful lot this year.

He sadly seems to be confident the Poconos are screwed though. :cry:

We can guarantee that the skiing will quite bad further south as very warm weather could grip a large portion of the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast.

I'm just saying the resurfacing and grooming efforts over the last 2 weeks haven't been rained on.

The really sad thing is that for most ski resorts, this is the 1st 2 week stretch all season that that statement is true :eek:

I wouldn't worry about the Pocono's too much. It would take a major melt down to kill it. Camelback is 100% open and was blowing the crap out of the mountain last Sunday. They survived 5+ inches of rain in early March last year and a week of 60-70 degree temps in mid march 2 years ago. Conditions last Sunday were as good if not better then what I skied in Vermont last week. Don't think they will be done blowing snow after Pres week either. They've been known to blow deep into March.

Good to hear. They can light those smaller places up really quick. I bet they have a ton of money left in their snowmaking budgets. :fangun:
