Just waiting for when more mamby pamby massholes to move to NH then we can have our roads closed too during future storms. Give the warning then if your an idiot and crash then it is your own fault and you can pay for your own rescue.

Former MA resident checking in... there are also a LOT of NH drivers that don't like snow nor drive well in it. Actually, surprisingly so. So and Central NH doesn't get too much more snow than some parts of MA...

This travel ban is killing me. I should have just gone up to NH yesterday before the storm as I wanted to. I suck. Now my only chance for fresh pow is Nashoba. That will be my game plan and then hit somewhere in NH or VT. Ugh

Drove home from work this morning. I have an AWD and am pretty comfortable in snow but I haven't seen conditions that tricky in a few years. The drifts were kinda crazy.

"Patrick says that he may start lifting the ban Saturday morning as the storm starts to taper off."

Well it's basically done snowing and Route 9 has been plowed about once every 5 minutes all night long. I'm sure Route 2 is the same. It's kind of a dick move to leave the travel ban in effect at this point.

Time to take a shower and clear off my car. I will be ready to go to Berkshire East as soon as it's lifted.

Some ski buses from NYC cancelled their south Vermont trips because of highway ban.

Guys. Chill , Life goes on , u will ski again .

Man the way some here carry on over this nonsense leaves me to wonder HOW you would HANDLE ANY serious REAL LIFE CRISIS ,, like many have to do . Its skiing and yeah we all love it BUT get a Life , get PERSPECTIVE chillax he snow and the mtns will still be there ?

Quit bitchin and give thanks that you have what you have and chillax!

My sense of perspective is rather healthy until skiing on snow days comes into the equation.

It's a flaw I can live with.

And guess where they're from originally?

Are the roads still closed in MA I want to drive to BEast from NY and buy a 28 night ticket, anyone else wants to go?

You would think that people including the govt havnt heard of winter Chains. They used to be common in areas with heavy winters. Make them mandatory and alot would be better. But the real issue is they have thin PC controled lives.

Wouldn't doubt in near future will be treated by Gov't as cellphones in Iran......
Anyone outside during a snowstorm legally ok to be shot on sight.... Leave it to old Tommy Menino...and Levalle(He's No Cut & Run candidate = Presidential material!..LOL)

I'd sure like to find out...when one obtains lift ticket online...previous to traveling...if they can't at least get their $$$ back....it really can get expensive.

For the last hour+ the heavy wind (gusts) have lightened up into regular windy snowstorm...storm center must've passed BarHarbor...and wind is swirling = changes...as system keeps on trucking NNE...we're now getting both frontside winds and backside as well.

It's still snowin' up here...tomorrow should be almost as good as it must've been today. Knew I was going to get bitten by putting off powski, skins, AT binding purchases....

Roads still closed. People are driving and it's being loosely enforced. Do with that information what you will. Maybe it will be lifted by later in the afternoon anyway.

I'd go ski there with you if I could but I'm not going to drive with the ban. Some other time.

They just said on NECN news that the driving ban has been lifted for west of I-91. Rest of the state will be lifted at 4pm

I agree with you. Seize the f*****g day! That's what part of this sport is about. If I were in your situation I'd be pissed too.

If that's the case, then why even have a ban?

I change my mind, I don't want to chance my car. Want to meet anyone at Gore tomorrow just let me know that were I be.
Hope they open the roads soon for you guys.

Jiminy will stop spinning lifts at 7:00pm... what a joke.

How is a ktn supposed to operate without the staff there to run the mtn? Cant exactly have your employees driving to work when it is illegal.

 

[kingslug]

Well just checked with the bus and it will roll to K tomorrow...
