Snow..coming ???

[BenedictGomez]

You have to love this line from today's Burke ski report:
"Quite frankly these warmer temps and wet conditions will leave ungroomed terrain in great shape melting away that hard lingering crust."

Option 1: Stupidty

Option 2: Lie

Tough call.

Does anybody think next weekend might be good? Anywhere?

There should be a snowmaking window at night after the meltdown days. Not sure who will take that opportunity. I'd look to the snowmaking mountains for hope. SR, Loon, BW, Mt Snow, K, Okemo.

Mid Burke chair is still down as of 3:00 PM today. I am sure the people who are staying in the new hotel for Massachusetts school break are going to be reconsidering their choice for next year.

Yup either that or one of the smaller snowmaking mountains with less terrain to cover (think Jiminy Peak).

Edit: looks like a pretty short snowmaking window all around though

Quite a small window. Be lucky to get a trail or two resurfaced I think...

Was there too. Sunday morning was very nice.

My wife and I were at Killington on Sunday too. It was pretty good, but absolutely exhausting with the leg-burn from the new snow and the foot-burn from needing to keep pressure on with the ice underneath everything.

Good to practice staying on your toes once in a while though. Too easy to forget when conditions are prime.

 

[caribchakita]

Jcb890, thank you...Sunday at Gunstock, the leg burn was severe. I run and work out as well...powder boarding is hard work but oh, so glorious.

I don't think we have to worry about getting used to prime conditions here in New England, haha.

A lot of times on powder days you won't have so much or any ice underneath, so while it is a real leg burner, at least your feet aren't under crazy pressure the whole time too. Sunday was both.

Do i see snow in the forecast for the weekend?

via GFS only Northern NH then late in the afternoon turns to rain as well. A little for so VT Sunday morning but then changes over to rain quickly

 

[Oz Von Toco]

Ah thanks. Looks like Catskills are catching a little break apparently 3 inches may come down today. Says it's supposed to rain there tomorrow but with a high of 35 maybe that will be snow as well?

I can only hope haha
