Hearing word that higher elevations and the northern mountains might see 10 inches of snow Friday night into Saturday....discuss.

Heard Sugarbush looks like crap right now and heard that many customers asked for a refund.

Crap: no. Not sure who made that statement. Considering that there is no snow, what is open is better than nothing. I skied there this weekend and yesterday. It fills the need. Stein's is deep and edge-to-edge. Snowball and Spring Fling are good. The latter is almost edge-to-edge.

Stowe, MRG, Bolton, Smuggs, and Snow are all closed.

Would I pay $50 for it? Maybe not. I am a passholder.

As to snow, read Roger Hill's Website. Good chance for some significant snows that would really help us!

A couple inches on the ground here at LSC... already eclipsed the snow total for all of March (sad thing is that's almost true). LOVING listening to everyone whine.

The Fat Lady has laryngitis. Wildcat reports up to 10" at higher elevations - radar last night and Mt Wx Obs reports this morning indicate some sleet/fzra mixed in but the observatory forecasts another 6" or so of snow today into tomorrow, and at this point I'm not going to get too choosy anyway.

Loading the family into the car and pointing it to North Conway this afternoon. Hitting Wildcat tomorrow for their closing day. Me in black/charcoal gray from helmet to Gotamas, skiing with two boys (one with bright turquoise pants - deadheadskier can tell you, you can't miss him)

Sugarloaf reports 2-3" with more light snow today. I haven't ruled out trying to get some spring skiing in up there toward the end of this week, weather and work permitting. I'll be very happy to get tomorrow in, at least.

and from today's avalanche advisory at tuckerman.org:

The weather event that we've been expecting through the later half of the week is moving slower and is colder than initially forecasted. The summit picked up 9.5" (24cm) of 12-13 percent density snow as of 7am this morning. An additional 3-6" (7.5-15cm) of snow is expected today in the high mountains followed by another 2-4" (5-10cm) tonight and tomorrow which in total may add up to over 1.5 feet (45cm) by the end of the weekend.

Whoa, that was unexpected that they got that much that soon. Bad call by me on the Bush today. Looking at the Cat for tomorrow as accumulations should increase over night into tomorrow. Could be some of the best skiing in almost two months!
