[Greg]

Might be tough to look at, but I'm interested to see how the ski areas fared. Post any pics of ski areas from this week here, particularly natural snow trails.

I guess it can be argued that masocists are realists or vica versa :lol:

We lost just over half our snow cover here at home. Not sure how the mountains are faring.

From the pics I see from K looks pretty bad. Tons of damage in just one week.

 

[WoodCore]

From what I've seen the damage looks pretty bad! Regardless, where in way better shape than last year during the same time period.

I'm guessing that the Mt. Southington pic is from last year at this time, because atleast from I-691 as I was heading to a continuing education lecture being held in Southington today, it look like they still had decent coverage on most trails (granted I was probably 1.5miles away as the bird flys at the time!)

Anyway, atleast this melt allowed me to get all my christmas lights off my house/shrubs today as about 10 days ago they were so burried/encased in a frozen block of snow/ice that i wasn't sure if they'd be taken down for a LONG time!

Buddy just sent me a picture of Sugarbush:

Cannon was also hit hard (that water is a pond made from the snowmelt):

Stowe was hit the worst:

And the Bush is still reporting 111 of 111 trails open today. How's that possible?

not possible. according to their website they were closed today due to winds.

Mansfield Snow Pack Loss

This graph shows it all. In a couple of crappy days, Mansfield lost nearly 2 FEET of snow at the summit, over a 1/3rd loss. (I hate to also point out that puts at nearly at the average depth for this date.)

And still melting, don't forget that part... :smash:

Whatev, it will snow again soon, just not going skiing this weekend. First weekend of no skiing since the first week of November so I may be overdue to take a relaxing and restful weekend.

I'm going to ski myself into oblivion..............elsewhere. If you haven't been out west.....now is the time.

 

[o3jeff]

When I woke up this morning it was around 27, wonder if anyone tried to blow some snow last night.

yeah, yeah kingslug rub it in. Actually I've been west a few times and you're right about conditions. I often time my business trips west suspiciously close to skiing days, so allege my friends.

We just get ourselves into these family/work/social situations that make it difficult to just hop away. I had a hard balancing act last week; I skied so much that I had used up all my "family credits" so-to speak and was in deficit. I am hoping this weekend will allow me to get ahead again. What's a credit and threshold? Just anybody who is married with kids.


I called one skiing bud, about my age and he said "I'm flexible, I can go anyday, I'm retired." Seems he took the company buy-out and was one of the lucky ones to have a place in the mountains and livin' large right now. My problem is, I don't think my wife would go for it!
