Snow at whiteface

[tjf67]

I will list the numbers as they come in for snow fall at Whiteface Mountain.


Earler in the week we got 8 inches.


Last night 6-8 with above ten at the summit.

Summit open this weekend?? Threy have been making snow for most of the week on it.

Nothing really since my last post.

Today it was weird. Kinda a misty rain and it was 22 degrees out.

The summit is open and sky and the W trail will be open this weekend.

Woke up this morning with 5 inches on the ground and still snowing.

Thanks for the updates. I'll be there on the 27th (or the 28th if wind is a problem) looking for the easier way down.

Sky has opened. Big Mountain Skiing in the East has begun.

 

[tjf67]

We got five inches out of the storm. Wind hold so far today. Still gusting around 45mph.

12:30 pm still on wind hold. The 5 supposed inches from the big noreaster are "gone with the wind" as usual on W-face. The mountain has its own weather, you never know what you'll get until you arrive at the mountain.

The hill is starting to recover. The snowtribe has been out in full force. Went in the backcountry last night and it is not good. Not much snow and a lot of ICE. We are supposed to get a clipper tonight bringing in a couple inches and snow flakes in the forecast all week. Backcountry should be ready to go again tomorrow night for the wed. night ski.

On a side note. People who do not wear helmets are silly. One of my closest friends got airlifted yesterday cause he went off the trail and hit his head on a rock. Got a bunch of stitches and was released last night. If he had a helmet on NONE of it would have happened. I wonder what his co-pay is going to be for the Heli ride to burlintgton? guessing a lot more than a helmet.

When do the trails off of Approach usually open?

talking to my buddy about switching it up next year, i think WF and the surrounding area might be a fun place for us to try. wives dont' ski, kids don't ski every day so having a town with interesting things to do would be cool.

I really want to try some March/April skiing there. Check out their specials; $38 Wednesdays (bring coke.... and not the stuff from Columbia) and select Sundays for $35.... There is a $25 bunk in Keene with my name on it :beer:

Upper Mak and Upper Wilderness should see the guns soon. Empire has no snowmaking it is not open often. I have seen tracks down it this year, did not look fun. If it looks ok hit it. Upper Northway has been left alone the past couple of years. I think they r trying to figure out what to do with that trail, its a widowmaker.

We only have a few more trails left to blow, Look-out-below, lower sky, upper mak and wilderness. That is about 14 days of good temps.

We received 2 inches overnight.

 

[tjf67]

The hill got 9 this week. Lower bc is skiing nice again. The storm moved from a sweet spot around albany up to Gore.
