Stowe Thread

[Edd]

It's official....well, at least Vail has filed for the permit. Mountain Triple is getting replaced by a $5.2 million Doppelmayr six pack.

Cold all week. Have fun in JH my favorite mountain. Go to the gun barrel great food!

No snow predicted..hope that changes..

Stowe & Sugarbush are projected to get dumped on next weekend. Southern VT is getting just as much snow as up north, we are going to hit Magic on Saturday and Sunday for the first time in good conditions...

Yeah those pretty graphics are based on one run, of one model, the GFS no less. Sure, there is a signal for something happening. But to say it will benefit NE is a stretch. To claim it will snow 19" is fantasy.

To put this into more perspective, the GEFS has 21 different model runs. Only 1 shows the storm doing this. But since that is the "operational" run it's what the apps use.

Not saying it can't happen, just how dangerous these apps are, especially a week+ out.

That's JH's current forecast but it could change quickly as you know.....

That's fine, it is what it is. I'd rather stay optimistic anyway! Our trip is planned so we are going no matter what happens with the snow. This Open Snow app has been pretty good the last 2 years I've used it. Maybe we don't get 18 inches but I'd be happy with 8.

I think you (or someone else here) has said it before.

There is always a big storm a week + out on the GFS. Or it at least seems that way. Comes to fruition about 3% of the time

 

[Tonyr]

That is how the model looks now, I'll still take it!

 

[KustyTheKlown]

lol.

 

[Kingslug20]

Then it ends up the usual...1 to 3"

 

[Tonyr]

With rain the following day, but let's stay positive!

 

[Kingslug20]

Well...the conditions i left to go to jh...where better than conditions here...
Obviously the terrain here is killer..

 

[Tonyr]

Well, Jackson isn't too shabby either terrain wise!

 

[hovercraft]
