Snow! October 22, 2008

[tjf67]

Got home tonight went for a walk with my girl and the dog. It was snowing up here. No real accumulation but it was snowing on and off all day. Went out to dinner to celebrate I here they got 5 to 7 inches up on the peaks. Its a geat time of the year

I was so looking forward to a TR from you and/or Austin this morning.

EDIT: Not that I blame you given the amount of snow that ended up falling.

I was going to go up Mt. Washington tomorrow and ski the autoroad but I couldn't find a partner. I guess I'll just go mountain biking instead. Life sucks...:razz:

Snow and frost in the mountains this morning on my ride to work. About 1200 feet or so...amazing.

No really snow, but Sunday River's latest pic:

Sugarloaf. That is looking nice!

Nice pic of the Loaf. Glad I'm not on that chair in the pic Trailboss. Anyone notice what's wrong? I can see a few obvious things.:razz:

You mean like the missing haul rope, for starters?

That's Sunday River's new Chondola.

I figured that out. Are they planning on stringing that bad boy up anytime soon?

Yup. Strangely enough first thing to catch my eye was the dangling sheave train on the downhill side.

I noticed the same thing when I saw a pic from that location last week (maybe the same pic). Seemed kind of strange to me to be starting snowmaking operations under the new lift before it's finished...

The pics on their website does not show anything like these for the webcams right now.


I do see these on the website now. My mistake, but webcam do not show this.

They're not from the webcam page. They're from the "picture of the day" page: http://www.lemassif.com/en/le_massif_en_direct/picture_of_the_day.php.

OK, now there is confirmation that there is snow in the mountains. It also snowed on my morning commute here in VT.

here's hoping all the flatlanders will call this "one long winter...." :beer:
