Long Range Notes
The period from the 20th to the 25th which includes a weekend will be a cold one relative to normal thanks largely to our NAO teleconnection. The eastern trough will in fact be large enough to allow cold air to envelop quite a large area of the eastern United States and eliminate the southern branch as a producer of storms. Precipitation which may be somewhat limited but will fall as all snow in this period and will fall as a result of clipper systems and other TIS enhancers. Winter is certainly not over and next weekend will prove it.

Really wish I could make it up for this event...but I have family issues.... a hubby with a procedure Thursday and a kitty with an eye infection and insulin needs. Time to put on my nurse hat.

Have fun everyone.... take a few turns for us!

Vacation day has been scheduled for Friday but I have the option to bail if we don't get the snow or conditions have not improved during the week. Would be nice to make it and meet some more folks in person and hopefully explore more areas off the beaten bath that have eluded me during previous visits. Lets hope this storm hits and hits good. I will settle for a few inches at this point.

If Sugarbush and MRG are anything like Stowe was this weekend, we're in for a great trip.

I was at the Bush yesterday. Things were real good. Slidebrook was filled in as well.

I was at ME yesterday and it was skiing great. The upper mountain was skiing like February conditions and the lower mountain was softer with corn. The only problem was a little fog on the higher elevations, but no problem with the snow.

True...the fog was especially thick at Ellen compared to Lincoln yesterday.

Win is being very generous and will be offering lift tickets for $49 this day. We will take a roll call as we get closer and members will need to give their AZ username at the Gate House in order to get this rate.

So, are we doing this roll call thingee, I'm in.

Any plans as to where and when we are meeting?

I've only been to ME three times this year (today will make four) and every time it's been foggy at the higher elevations. It's frustrating, since I love that view from the top of the Summit Chair. It's especially gorgeous just after it has snowed.

Since, you're buying, you choose the bar

Before, after, both sound good to me :lol:

 

[BeanoNYC]

I would say the bottom of the Super Bravo would be the best. Either that or inside Allyns lodge.
FYI: I'm still on the fence for this trip.

The roll call thread mentions...

On Friday, you all will need to give your AZ username at the Gate House ticket window in order to get this rate.

I haven't been to sugarbush in 20 years. Is finding the Gate House blatantly obvious?

Walk up the wide plank staircase and it will be straight ahead. You may notice it looks a little different after 20 years.....
