I'm playing the odds that there will be a few inches of new snow tomorrow afternoon into tomorrow night before the changeover. Should make the bumps ski great. Who else is in?

Tuesday: Snow likely after 1pm. Increasing clouds, with a high near 20. Wind chill values as low as -7. West wind at 7 mph becoming south. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New snow accumulation of around an inch possible.
Tuesday Night: Periods of snow and sleet before 1am, then periods of freezing rain and sleet. Low around 19. East wind between 5 and 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New ice accumulation of less than a 0.1 of an inch possible. New snow and sleet accumulation of 3 to 5 inches possible.
Yep - the bumps should be skiing great! Bring your goggles (sleet)!
I'm trying to decide if I want to make the trip tomorrow night, with the icy return trip looming, or ski on Friday up North - maybe Magic. Hmmm.....???![]()
BTW, I'm going tonight whether Lower Nor'easter is open or not. At least we can play on the Ex bumps and the powder falling will make it fun. I really hope the lights get fixed today though.
Might be time to find a real babysitter....I REALLY wish I could make it out with you guys tonight for a little 'conditioning'... Oh well...![]()

We are still chasing down the lighting/wiring problem. The wires are
under the ground and snow as well as in trees, not a simple task.
I'll let you know the status before I leave for the day.
We had to run a cat width on skiers right to get our man lift on
Nor'Easter.
Crap. Email from Chris:
That sucks. Especially the last sentence. Oh well, Praying for powder tonight...
Damn that sucks! Stupid freaking lights! As if missing them for a few nights wasn't bad enough, now they had to sacrifice some bumps too...![]()
We will reseed as soon as possible, if, they don’t reform on their own. It’s only ten more days till prep racing is over. I’d like to get Temptor going sooner than later. If the weather is right I may do it before the 22nd. If Temptor works out well, next year we might seed it from the beginning and move the racers to Nor’Easter.
Well that makes not being able to make it tonight a little easier to take. More problems at home getting in the way of my so-called ski life. Still blindly hoping for a chance to get out on Friday though. Maybe next week....

Indeed. Especially skier's right where the best bumps are. Lower N'E is not that wide so a cat's width sacrifices a lot of lines. Nevertheless, this follow-up Email is encouraging:
Bring it on! I love N'E, but a T2B, side-to-side seeded Temptor would be great!
That IS encouraging!![]()
I wonder if they would still seed from the sun deck down, skier's left though...
That would be pretty fawking sweet! Seed there, then a little break in the flat section before the real fun begins!![]()
Nah. I would seed the flat section too. They won't be able to groom it so they might as well. Even though it's flat, I always liked that stretch - lots of character.
