Weekend of December 14th

[billski]

Beginner stuff will be groomed, it depends on how much falls during the day on Sun.

this time of year, everything is groomed. I'd say the weather gave them a jump on things. Best bet is to call the ski school and ask about conditions.

Just bought my ticket for Sun at Platty, $25.99 on Liftopia.

Do you think they'll have much open even if they get 10"?

I'd do the same thing if I had confidence, but I'm thinking Sunday might be one of the rare times I hit the Poconos given they're the undisputed World Champtions of snowmaking. I'm thinking 8" on top of their "fake-base" might be nice.

Bought liftopia tix to bromley for 37 bucks for sunday. trying to decide if it's worth it to head up sat afternoon and stay somewhere close or make the drive sunday am from hartford.

Driving will be a lot tricker on Saturday than Sunday.

I disagree with Bill on this. It will be just getting going Sat but will have piled up by Sunday morning. I'd say you've better off going as early afternoon as you can Saturday.

Vermont's totals went up nicely from this morning!

You need to go the regional NOAA sites for specific regions.

Burlington NOAA - Usually click on the weather statement

http://www.erh.noaa.gov/er/btv/

Gray ME NOAA - click on snowfall forecast

http://www.erh.noaa.gov/gyx/

Albany NY NOAA

http://www.erh.noaa.gov/aly/

Boston NOAA - usually click on one of the alerts

Don't know, but I've never been there and the price can't be beat.

I'll have a good time no matter where I go.

I think if they get a foot the double side will open.

This sucker is winding up! Remember, these are NOT higher elevation forecasts. We could see significantly more up there. Bring a snorkel!

 

[Mullen]

Went all in. Called out of work tomorrow am. And got a room for the night. Hoping this pans out

Of course my mother in law is flying home from fla this weekend on Sunday.... Kind of cramps my style. Thinking I will hit hunter or Wyndham tomorrow then will have to be the pokes on Sunday for a few hours in the event she actually gets in on time.

Sounds like a good plan. I think any where in the Catskills this weekend will be awesome.

SnowRock - didn't you get the memo? All the flights on the eastern seaboard are going to be delayed or canceled!

Any caring son in law would pony up the cost of a flight change so she can come in midweek and be safe.

Great idea.., and perhaps the airlines even waive the change fee. Billski I tried the delay/cancel tact with limited success so far.

Really? Am I just totally flaking out or wasnt it only about a week ago they had bare ground and no snow where there wasnt snowmaking? I'd definitely go to Platty rather than the Poconos if I thought the conditions would be same/better.
