Oh boy!!!!! Is it all over after the rains this weekend?!?!?(3/13-3/15)

[Northeast Soul Skier]

Gonna be snow at elevation in Vermont....hopefully.

I haven't been to southern vt in a month. What's it like over there?

Central Vermont, not southern. I meant K, MRG, and SB. Hopefully those mountains at elevation get snow. It doesn't look promising, but elevation "could" play a part. I'm hoping that's the case.

Don't know much about southern Vermont. Haven't skied there in 25 years.

By later Saturday there's a chance of that. Prior to then, unfortunately it looks like unless the summit elevations are above say 10,000ft, this will be an all liquid event :smash:

when do the jay hotel deals start?

 

[snowmonster]

And, BTW, if you're interested in extending your season by skiing Tux, let me know. That's a good introduction into Northeast Soul Skiing.

I just read that! I I dream about hittin tux! that would be incredible![/QUOTE]

Do it this year. To quote Warren Miller: You'll be a year older when you do.

 

[RootDKJ]

really? i watched it the other day and it just doesn't hold up over time.

Interesting. I just watched Blues Brothers the other day and that one does hold up over time.

when do the jay hotel deals start?

8th till 18th of April. The weekend of the 9th is fully booked though.

 

[snowmonster]

^ That's what they publish. I would call them. Sometimes, they give you a deal over the phone if you ask 'em. I got a similar deal at Hotel Jay in mid-Feb. It wasn't on the site at all.

Even when it is "over" there is STILL skiing until June and July some years at Tucks!

Here is tucks as of 3/7:

With that amount of snow I say turns in July are a def possibility!

From June last year:

Airplane Gully in the Great Gulf (June 6, 2009):

Right Gully in Tux (June 13, 2009):

Tux at 4:00 pm on June 13, 2009:

While Tux is very appealing, I think I would die or seriously injure myself at my current ability level. Maybe next year

 

[snowmonster]

^ My first trip to Tux was on my second year of skiing. I was still in a snowplow. You don't have to go over the Headwall. The lower sections of the Bowl are pretty tame.

If I am close to 50 days this year, I may have to make a trip...

 

[tmcc71]

Not Over.

I will ski until April if I have to drive hours, or earn my turns. We will survive this.

It does appear, though, that Saturday is a washout in much of the northeast, unless you want to ski in the rain.

Doesn't look to bad in Maine... (Sunday River anyway)...

No matter what, I'm off snow the next two weekends anyway (Fencing tournament obligations).

There will be a couple of vacation days spent, however.

It doesn't look too bad for Whiteface either. 40% chance of rain each day. Compared to the last 2 weekends it will be tuff to take, but I'm going to get it while its there.
