The best sking is found in the Northeast right now?

first world problem, but ugh, big sky will be fun but the action is back home. hopefully this pattern of goodness continues through the end of the month. i get back 12/24, ski catskills 12/25, ski somewhere further north 12/26-28.

Was just reading that Big Sky is great right now...you're gonna have a blast.

yeah they have a solid base, and will be opening the moonlight/Madison side the day before i get there, and they are expected to get a quick 5" Friday-sunday (i arrive Saturday morning), and maybe another dose of 2-4" on Wednesday. should be enough to keep things fresh, and the terrain there is great, and I'm all about steeps trees and bumps without fresh snow, so anything i do get will be a bonus. just kinda hurts to get on a plane away from epic eastern conditions.

[FONT=&quot]Thanks to the recent snowfall the legendary Mt. Mansfield Ski Patrol has been opening fabled terrain such as Goat, Starr, Lookout, Liftline, and National! We now have 83 trails open for over 29 miles of incredible early season skiing & riding here at Stowe![/FONT]

Smuggs has 100% of Sterling open. Wondering when Madonna 1 spins? Seems like that chair would open with most terrain already in play.

Jealous of anyone who gets to Jay this Saturday for opening of the Flyer. That's gonna be a lot of untouched!

I'd love to delay my big sky trip 2 days just to get to ski jay on Saturday.

what a crazy sentence to type.

Utterly demoralized to be missing this. Had one long shot chance in shuffling some things around and making something work, and it fell apart. Best I can do is Catskills Sunday, and even that is unlikely.

Some one remind me why I live in New Jersey?

Oh well - hope everyone has fun.

You may as well leave, everyone else is.

I'd be curious to know the reason. I have my reasons, but would like to hear yours.

Work.

For me it's also work. I have a job I love that is two blocks from home. I've been working for the same company for 30 years.

I'm sure that the terrain off of the flyer is going to be far from untouched by the time Saturday rolls around.

Smuggs is going to open Madonna on Saturday, that should be pretty untouched sans turn-earners. I'm considering doing the crazy drive up Friday night, leave late Sunday afternoon thing, as I imagine if the woods on Sterling are open, the ropes will likely be dropped on the higher-up woods like Shakedown and Docs' etc....

Will need to get some good intel from tomorrow and Friday to see how good the conditions really are. Last thing I'd want is 13 hours of driving for conditions that turn out to be like those early-season meh Lucy with the football variety.

Truth. When I was new to JP: snowed for days, tram on wind hold for same. Caught first one, thinking freshies!!!
. Not tracked-out but, definitely ‘touched’. I skin if desire permits me. :beer:

..........I'm hoping to go to Burke this weekend, assuming it's not -10 degrees there with wind, and I'm pretty confident it won't let me down.......

Remember the opportunities when skiers choose to stay away in cold weather Tuna!
