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:

They may have been a step ahead of everyone else. They put in a summer waterpark (Camelbeach) many years ago and it rakes in the cash. They have since added an Adventure Park and now operate practically the entire year. They are now in the process of adding a 3500' Zip Line and Mountain Coaster both which are supposed to operate all year. Those offseason (skiing offseason that is) bucks add up to:fangun:

I did my part yesterday to help change the weather pattern! I not only took out my driveway marker snowstakes but I also bought a new golf club! I ran out of time or else I would have taken my road bike out of the trainer it's been on in my basement since October and gone for a ride yesterday! Next up would be to put the fuel stabilizer in the snowblower and prep it for summer, since just mooving my snowblower from my garage out into my storrage shed a few weeks ago wasn't apparently enough! :mad: ;)

Then there's always the chance the poles will rapidly flip.....bringing deep pow...(I guess it's time for a hike....Hey drjeff...good idea on the snowblower & lawnmower).

*Anyone have any tip on applying anything early, like grub-killer(duplicating July/August spread) or weed-killer?

We proceeded to get dumped on last spring when I bought a new set of Callaway irons, so there may be so scientific proof behind this.

I just couldn't pass up buying one of Taylormade's new Rocket Ballz fairway woods. Just saying "it's time to break out my Rocket Ballz!" during a round was too much for me to pass up (and the fact that I LOVED the Taylormade R11 driver I got last year didn't hurt either ;) )

If it takes me buying a new set of irons next to help the snow thing, I'm game! :)

You guys can blame me then because I went and did the exact opposite... I bought some Rossi S7's last week at Suburban... My 84 waist skis didn't cut it at JH so I thought it was time to get a powder ski... I'm going to CO in early March.

You're going to have a blast on that ski. Absolutely love mine for steep and deep! Float like a dream and are well balanced when you huck that 25' that turns out to be 35'. I'm headed to Vail on the 6th.

hope it's still winter next week.

from albany nws

if the ecmwf model is right...then precipitation
could linger across the region well into saturday...and be heavier
as well...with the potential for a significant snowfall. Later shifts
will need to monitor this closely.

THE RESULT LOOKS TO BE A MIXED BAG OF PRECIPITATION FOR A GOOD PORTION OF THE AREA...WITH PERHAPS MOST AREAS SEEING A DECENT THUMP OF SNOW FRIDAY MORNING INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON BEFORE TEMPS WARM UP A BIT AND THE BEST FORCING FOR ASCENT MOVES NORTHEAST. SOUTHERNMOST AND COASTAL ZONES WILL SEE LESS SNOW...AND THE MOUNTAINS WILL PROBABLY SEE THE MOST AS IS USUALLY THE CASE.

I'm liking the improved forecast especially that I am in great need of burning a voucher this weekend because I may have to work at least some (possibly all) weekends in March and that's of course when my voucher is redeemable. Now, it's between Saturday at Stowe or Sunday at Sunday River. Stowe is tempting but it may look like it's going to be a bit windy but then again there's probably going to be fresh powder overnight.

Bestskiweather has called for a significant snowstorm next week in NNE. Mid next week. Snow is predicted out west all over the place for the next few weeks at least. Looks like we are actually going to get some snow and we may be able to enjoy spring.

God I hope so. I'm going to be at Cannon on Saturday.
