Gotta work NASTAR until 7 pm, then gonna hit the bumps. Forecast is calling for sleet/snow Sunday afternoon/evening. Sleet bumps are fun. Anyone heading out?

Hit the NASTAR course too! I should be out on the hill by 7:30. Regardless of whether it's snow, sleet, or rain, the bumps should be good.

I hoping to get out Sunday at some point. Probably in the evening. May even hit up the NASTAR course, unless the bumps are really good... 8)

Just registered online. If I can get out on Sunday I will go embarrass myself on the course.

if we can just take care of those two giant whale / GS bumps about 1/2 way down, the left line should be good to go.

It got deeper since Monday, but it's kinda sweepy now...

The one repositioned bump got a lot bigger. But yeah, pretty sweepy. Gotta cut deeper into that line.

Albany is calling for 3-5" while Taunton is saying 3-7" tonight. May start off as some light rain which will help soften the bumps. I suspect the drive out of there later tonight might be tricky so be prepared.

what time is the snow going to start? I am not sure when I am getting out, looking like the afternoon right now.

NWS is saying around dark for Albany so probably a bit sooner at Sundown....late afternoon/evening? I suspect the bumps will be firm most of the day. The night session is going to be where it's at. Just be prepared for tricky travel leaving tonight.
