I think I'm going to sit tight and wait for Sunday. My goal will be first chair Sunday morning (8 am). Sundown is in the bullseye for the storm and might pick up 8"+. First run will be untracked on Gunny and then onto the bumps. Nor'easter/Temptor was seeded last night and Exhibition gets seeded tonight so there should be plenty of good bumps to rip. Given the consolidated base currently in the woods, I think A51 might be in play too.

The chairs will start loading at 8am. Not sure if there's an official time that they open the lodge, but I'd imagine 7:30am at the latest.

i hate getting up early but this won't be a problem for me! I'm going to shoot for a 7:00 am arrival so that if the roads suck i have a little cushion.

Now, how to do i tell my wife and kids that i'm going solo . . . .:argue:

I'm in for first chair.

I actually don't care about first chair, but I want Greg, gmcunni, or Grassi to fail at it. Mainly Greg.

Weather changes course, and I might call an audible and hit Killington. Gonna be about getting the best conditions Sunday.

The Taunton office is calling for 6-10". Sundown is technically in Hartford County which is serviced by the Taunton NWS. I would guess 6" is a safe bet.
