Pre-MLK weekend weather tracking

[bdfreetuna]

Oh no now that Tuna says it will be I may change my mind.

Take it back anyway. Wednesday looks like it will be a great day. Warm and fresh snow from the day/night before. Choice between Wed and mashed potatos Friday I'd take Wednesday 100%.

It wont be during "ski hours" during the weekend though, as the isobars look pretty far apart, so at least there's that small solace.

I think these temps will cool a bit from where they are now. Anyway, I'll be at Killington hoping for the best.

The drinking forecast is coming along quite nice

Going tomorrow. Between the impending rain, warm weather and then the MLK crowds on top of it, I'm getting my fix now then sitting the weekend out. Better for my sanity..

the 2 degree friday night temp is the killer..thats a real ice maker..the shiny stuff.....and Hunters prediction for snow saturday..is gone...guess they broke out a different prediction dart board.

Ice sheets and holiday weekend crowds - no thanks, taking this weekend off. And from the look of the long-range forecast for NE, possibly the next few weeks as well. Banking on a cold/stormy February at this point, I think the rest of January is cooked.

Glad I got some really good days in the past few weeks.

Recovery weekend. I avoid skiing holiday weeks/weekends as much as possible (unless there is a storm). Skiing 6/7 days leading up to Saturday. Looking forward to some warm air and rain you soften things up on the trails. Woods seem to be in great shape and soft, trails not so much.

setting up to be a classic iceface weekend for me with 20+ mph wind to go along. oh well.

Bingo!

 

[slatham]

This weekend will be a test of those who aggressively resurface and those that do not. It should be interesting.

You've picked a good year for it!

This is beyond depressing. Guess I'll be cancelling the 3-day weekend. Next weekend isnt looking great either.

For those of us who cant ski much or at all in December, this season might as well be last season so far.

Killington is currently at 134 trails. Big big difference this season and last.

I feel really badly for you, because so far this season has been off to a very good start. I have had better days already than I did at any time last year.
