Snowing nicely in Conway

Our P&C says 3-7; I’ll take the under. I think Conway could do decently well though, especially closer to Bartlett/Attitash. They really struggle to warm up down there

Really pretty this morning in spite of the temp

Booked a trip to Jamaica for NH school vacation week. Feet of snow are guaranteed.

They’re actually just about the same; Attitash may be 50 ft higher or so but both are right around 600 ft. Attitash does better with snow though given its location at the base of the notch and northern exposure. Not sure that the natural base matters at this point - it’s all about snowmaking anyways until further notice. Cranmore does have a lot of charm, I’ve only skied it a couple of times in conjunction with my kids races but I’ve really enjoyed it. Skies bigger than one would think. Can be a bit icy though but of course we are spoiled coming from Bretton Woods which is probably the least icy resort in the northeast that I know of. From Conway you do have a ton of options to choose from though if Cranmore is not looking good, between Bretton Woods, Attitash, Wildcat, Black, Cranmore, Pleasant Mt, and if you are ok driving a bit longer Sunday River is not that far either

This winter fake winter is all the winter we’ve got

Maaaaaybe. If it’s marginal and we get any downsloping we are cooked. Sneaky cold today though - low of -3. First subzero of the season

0 degrees! Looks like we’ll have our first below 0 reading of the season

We should start a thread, name it something like “the storm that will make up the seasonal snow totals” and then watch it turn to rain.

A family staying at one of my rentals last week said it was their first time visiting and was raving about how much they loved skiing Bretton Woods. Then they go “yeah we are going to Alta in 2 weeks but this was great.” I almost choked

Yeah they’re finally replacing the old summit chair which takes 7.5 hours to make it to the top. It’s going to be a game changer, I love that section at the top, it’s got beautiful scenery and a really nice vibe but was so painful to get to. Expected to be in place for the next ski season.

Thank you all!

Lol. My lowest have been 3.2 in November, 1.4 in December and 9.9 in January. Currently 10 so we’ll cool the January low some tonight

Stupid question but what do I know. Is the op run one of those (like p01), or are the ensembles all separate runs?

Gotcha. I thought that was a local reference

Yeah, I mean… we saw snow out of the storm that ended with me ferrying guests across the river which had taken over my driveway… it did not help the ski area Although the follow up upslope rod at least give us a white Christmas My hope is that there is natural snow left as the storm pulls away. I’m always in a precarious spot with easterly winds to begin with lol

I’m still wondering about these arctic outbreaks. Must have downsloped because I think we’ve been below 0 once if that this year, and if I’m above 0 in the middle of winter it is not an arctic outbreak in my book lol

Nothing like a good snowy thread tile to make sure we shovel bucketfuls of water this year.

Yeah I posted it in the other thread but today was just stunningly beautiful

Bretton Woods looks like Mt Vesuvius today

And for all the warmth, today is just unbelievably beautiful on the slopes.

Looks like a volcano eruption in Bretton Woods lol

Got another inch of fluff overnight. Still a few flurries but clouds are breaking, might sneak in a sunny day!

Another picture then I swear I’ll shut up, I love how cozy it feels tonight
