The Official Start of Winter Thread

[andyzee]

OK, time to turn things around. I'll be skiing tomorrow and have a TR and pics by Monday!

 

[ajl50]

Yes....lots of trip reports and pictures are required for everybody getting out there.
Stoke up those of us who can't get out.

I think I''ll wait till next week. 3 to 5 hour drives for 1 run is a bit much for me. Maybe Whiteface again next week.

 

[ajl50]

whiteface will have snow flurries and cold temps all week...so should be pretty nice by next weekend.

 

[bassist286]

yay...it's actually cold out, sorta.

 

[ajl50]

I mean i opened my window in NJ this am and it was actually cooling off the room.

 

[ALLSKIING]

I am skiing Tue and should have a trip report Tue night. Just got back from a walk and this cold weather feels so goooooooooood!!!!!!!!!

Waterville's not doing too bad so far.....


Scramble on North Country - WV

I was there yesterday and it looks a lot better. They only had Scramble open on North Country and needless to say it was quite icy, and pretty crowded.....everyone knows how slow that double is too....

Should get cold enough at night next weekend for some overnight snow making though. Which is better than what we saw most of November.

Watchu talkin bout honky? (yes Jeffersons)

Good idea. I thing the best thing is that there is a nice cold stretch coming up allowing mountain to build a base. If they can build enough of a base then at least we can get throough some warmer weather.
