this week/end looks ugly. Futures on next week looking some what promising though.

I hope it's OK for Pres. Day week - big money maker for the resorts/lodging/dining. I usually lay low or go to off the radar places. I take some solace in that I have non-ski plans for this holiday weekend. We usually get some good dumps in late Feb and March. I was just looking at some pics and noticed I had an incredible pow day at MRG two years back on Feb 28th-ish. And that was in a year when there wasn't too much snow.

May be more of a perception thing but wouldn't the conditions be at least OK on the groomers? Snow cover should not be an issue at this point...

Friday should be ok, just break out the Gore Tex. Saturday though should be interesting, especially if places arent able to do extensive grooming because of the non-frozen precip the previous day.

Maybe not so fast here in NW Jersey, 4" - 8" in the forecast for tonight and tomorrow morning. Much better than they were predicting earlier today, then it called for snow tonight and freezing rain and rain tomorrow, now all just snow.:snow: Hope they're right.

It looks like I picked the wrong night to ski, I was scraping ice tonight, I just may have to ski tomorrow night too.
