That is a little different. The snow closest to the nozzles didn't get enough time to nucleate, this is an issue regardless of technology. I have seen air hogs create igloos around themselves because they weren't tended to for an entire shift.

Thank you for clarifying.

Hope so. Weather looks grim but maybe not a killer

Might squeak out Saturday but Friday R might cause some damage...

Not sure on the forecast for over there, but even at 1250 feet in NH things are trending colder with snow in the front and minimal rain to follow. I think it will be a non-issue

Any updated Sugarbush weather thoughts?

Showers look to be spotty on Friday and Saturday PM. I'm not too worried about it, I'll be out there for sure.

FWIW, I skinned up Ellen yesterday after work. Temps were right around freezing, the 6-8 inches of new snow settled and covered up the ice layer underneath. The snow skied very well and felt like real packed powder. I bet this weekend will have some nice soft turns once the temps climb a bit.

Yeah looks to be a challenging weather weekend. Sunday looks to be the pick. From NOAA at 3000 ft

I'd love to see that forecast extended through Sunday. I can't seem to figure it out.

 

[vtboarder]

I think they are only meant to be short term forecasts specific to each mountain (there is a page that lists them all)

There is also this general page as well with various items: https://www.weather.gov/btv/winter

Looks like Sunday could be interesting... sounds like models are shifting to more snow.
NL broken already? What the hell?
What's with the slide brook rumor? Did they ever get the two chairs on the ground at north on the line? I saw the work basket on line at south last weekend.
