Snow..coming ???

[tnt1234]

18z NAM just finished, and sadly for ski country, it jogged quite a bit east. Hopefully it's wrong.

Nice thump for the catskills given all the snow they have....maybe finally get to see the new Gondi....

Do people who ski in the Catskills have to different gear set-ups for fighting in deeper snow or do they just wear the same gear they would have used back for fighting in the blowtorch in February?

some people have multiple sets of skis and outerwear for different conditions. others dont.

cool.

All the glades should be fully in play around noon (guessing), so I get more snow and half the drive of Wildcat/SR in what will be unfun conditions.

Why do you say unfun?

Woops. Should have clarified. The drive part will be unfun. The skiing will be incredible.

Little known fact - the one piece powder suits of the 80's and 90's were invented by Bennie Alfonzo, long time Hunter pass holder. They were intended for fighting in the snow when it is over 24" deep.

Stuff like that sends me to Crotched for tomorrow and not bothering to go further north. All the glades should be fully in play around noon (guessing), so I get more snow and half the drive of Wildcat/SR in what will be unfun conditions. Boston is getting walloped.

Considering that my youngest has our LAST kid ski race of the LONG season this Fri-Sun at Gunstock, I approve of this map!!

Wow, enjoy guys. I skied the first storm in Catskills, then got snowed under for a Europe work trip. Got out on Th. But managed to find time to ski Engelberg over the weekend. Ironic that Catskills has more (fresh) snow now. LOL

i am riding with a fucking snowboarder this weekend and it annoys me so much that we cant do this. we have a house in waterbury. 10 people. stowe saturday. the majority are doing max pass somewhere sunday, but i'm doing magic. i so badly want to wake up and drive 10 min to mrg, but buddy in my car is a one planker!

Its why I married a skier..Alta's my favorite place. Magic should be cool..the mini MRG.

Canadian joined the Euro on the snowporn next week. Though the former is a NJ, CT, RI sort of thing instead of N.E., but I'll be watching this closely.

How much snow are we talking? NJ, CT, RI doesn't help though! :lol:

A lot. But when it's this far out the amount of snow it prints doesnt matter, just the fact that a few models have a snowstorm signal is important and makes it fun to watch and hope it doesnt entirely disappear from the maps in the next few days. It gives me something to look forward to a few times a day when I look at the models!


EDIT: WTH, may as well post the NSFW Euro snowporn.

Too bad Boston doesnt have some nice big mountains..they are getting buried..what a waste

There are some sexy looking maps being posted here!

gfs has next sunday as a r*^n bomb, but we're still way far out for that.

 

[skiur]

About 7" on the ground at Killington right now, not stopping anytime soon.

I haven't gotten a wind reading from my VT weather station just north of Bratt since 7:10AM....so that's a good sign for snow piling up a bit. Looks like it's coming down pretty good there now!
