The bright side about whiteface is that we miss a lot of the snow so we miss a lot of the rain. That said i dont think we are missing it. Its not going to go below freezing till Sat night so the slides may be in play Sat. I hope so

Welp, it looks like this rain may but a bind in my Killington plans for Saturday.
I was going to pick up some vouchers locally, but may hold off for a day or so to see how this thing is going to shake out.

Only a few more weeks of wide open terrain choices at the majority of ski areas. Better to get at it on wet snow with lots of terrain options this week, than more than likely wet snow with less terrain options in a few weeks :idea: While a good dump of Utah-esque light fluff isn't unheard of Mid-March and beyond, the reality is that the wet snow season (be it fresh fallen or already on the ground) is upon us

Geez Dr. Jeff, you're making me feel just dandy. Anyways, being pragmatic is useful and important, so I appreciate your POV. I will hold out last minute hope. when I hear NEK say it's puking out there or a report from the Mt. that its switching, I'm more than happy to head out. I for one, simply just don't enjoy skiing in the rain. Maybe I'll bag friday and take monday off instead.
Good news is, there is a helluva base out there.

Sorry there Bill. In my line of work, you tend to just look at the data objectively and present it that way with out putting rose colored lenses, less you over deliver and under produce. I try and look at the weather the same way. Look at the data and interpret it without any preconceived bias (as much as the snow loving side in my wants to try and take over on many occasions
:lol: :smash:

I guess I didn't write it very well:

I do value what you have to say. Then again, I hold out for a last-minute hail-Mary pass! If not, I just re-plan.

Where are you planning on going? I just got back from some of the best East Coast skiing I have seen since....
:beer:
Yeah; I bagged my Thurs/Fri Sugarbush trip. They have a wind warning on their website and I agree with them and there is a good chance for wind to impact operations on Thursday. Seems like it may be icy driving home Friday too, but that's tough to tell. With the rain freezing over Friday night, we might have a problem with ice holds Saturday. Plus, the bluebird day in the forecast will probably deceive quite a few people (could see that already since Nacski raised their price on the Stowe trip this Saturday on Tuesday for booking the first 25 seats while that typically happens on Thursday for a Saturday trip). But sometimes, can't blame them; first 25 seats cost $75; while the ticket at the ticket window costs $89, as Stowe was already confirmed (usually happens 3-4 days in advance) when I printed my boarding pass on Friday for last Saturday's SR trip.
Though, on the bright side, Sunday should be decent for this weekend since the groomers will have another chance to go over icing and snow will probably soften up. Seems like its a good time to burn some Wildcat passes before I have to switch over to soccer. It's either that or Wildcat passes will have to override my plan to take a bus to Jay Peak for the day on Sunday (assuming good weather of course). Never been to Jay because of the limited buses that run to it over the years although Nac does Jay about 3 times per season; seems like a good opportunity to do so now.

Stowe. I'm not surprised. "best" will degrade quickly. I don't mind spring skiing, just not in the rain. This will be a last minute thing.

that's the end of the party. Rain through Friday then it dries out, temps hover around 32 but will rise. Midweek next is looking like a further warm-up. Time for a late start and spring skiing. Smile!

Based on the huge wall of greens, yellows and reds headed North there Warp, there's a good chance that had you left that snow in your driveway alone that mother nature would have taken care of the removal of it for you by tomorrow
:smash:I will admit though this AM at my house that I did clear out the storm drain just uphill of my driveway from all the debris that ended up in it on Sunday
