I'm debating when to head up. Maybe as early as tomorrow morning. Or as late as Thursday night.

If you can ASAP! Tomorrow into Thursday should be pretty good. Tuesday was amazing and judging by Deadheads pics today held up beautifully!
We finished at 2:30. Still a ton of fresh to be had in the low angle trees in the Bobcat area and even more so in Bonus Woods. That will likely all get tracked out tomorrow. Yeggous, if you have the flexibility to ski both tomorrow and Thursday, I'd certainly do it. I'm sure Friday will also be great if you head up Thursday night, but you may miss out on a lot of untracked

Weather reports I have been hearing today is snow starts tomorrow and they could pick up another foot by mid morning Thursday. Perhaps that's changed and the storm is arriving later? Or are you talking about another system I haven't paid attention too. Either way, as long as things stay cold, conditions are going to be great up there for awhile with what's there as of today.

Sounds right, been tracking this storm. It would have been a close call for all of NE if a storm front in the south move faster. But it looks like the Northern Maine and NH will get the goods.
I would be concern about the winds, Wildcat has an automatic sensor which stops the lifts at gust of 40 mph (iirc).

Okay, I'm head up today. I'm at the car dealership right now getting an oil change and small electrical repair on my truck. Once they're finished I'll head up. I'm thinking about Attitash today and Wildcat tomorrow. In my experience it is a terrific idea to go to Attitash on a Wednesday powder day as the place is empty. Everyone will be at Wildcat or Cranmore (meisters).
Attitash was excellent today. The woods are loaded and nobody is in them. It is way more than boot deep in the trees. Base depths are so deep the alpine slide is buried and skiable, as is the summit triple lift line.
I still have not made up my mind about tomorrow. I feel like the Cat will be crowded with powderhounds and windy in the afternoon. Sometimes playing coy and heading to Attitash is the right play.

Hey, Attitash is on my season pass too; would not mind another Wildcat trip either.
I see another trip up that way the week after Pres week; maybe my traditional early March trip.

Please lets stop pumping up this place, I have had to wait in a lift line on Saturdays all month, Pleaseeeeeeeeeee !!!!!!!!!!!
At least you were skiing , was getting worried when you didn't come tonight
Priorities. It's balls deep at Wildcat today. This morning was beautiful but as expected the wind is picking up.

Busiest day of the year and they have power problems. Lights keep flickering. All lifts went down for a bit. They are very slowly running the fixed grips just to unload them but nobody is getting on. Quad is running slow speed loading every other chair.

Confirmed problem is bad voltages coming from the utility. All lifts down again with people still on the quad. To make matters worse the bathrooms are closed as the well is not running.
