  1. My son is home on spring break and is working 3-8 today.
  2. Berkshire East was making snow last night/this morning. Great effort by them. I wish Wachusett had taken advantage of the cold nights/mornings
  3. I did the snowfields back around 1992. Pretty neat stuff Meanwhile down here in Mass, we tried Wachusett this afternoon. Three runs and we bailed. Awful ice. They could have run the guns since Thursday night (and were posting they would on social) but nope. Pure porcelain. So we headed out
  4. Local XC area near me (Windblown in New Ipswich NH) closing after this season. Very nice place with great owners. He has been running it for 50 years and wants to retire, his kids don’t want to run it.
  5. At least it has gotten cold enough for snowmaking again at Wachusett. They have kept the trail count up most of the winter.
  6. Our son is working his last shift for a little while at Wachusett. He says he has never seen it so busy before. Nice bluebird day and 5.5” new in a long weekend -= ants
  7. Nice Chris. Great day for it. A bit windy though.
  8. I’m thinking a little rain transitioning to light snow. I’m heading to Loon and am hoping to avoid some rain.
  9. We are doing a bus trip to Loon this coming Saturday. Good news, they received 7” of snow from this current event. Bad news...rain incoming
  10. I get bombarded with their ad on FB every day. Can’t believe they have no snowmaking.
  11. Nice conditions in central Mass at Wachusett. Skied there Tuesday for a bit to test out the knee, then last night which was a bit icy, and then for a couple of hours this morning. Very good set of runs before the crowds built up. Heading to Loon Jan4. Haven’t been there in 20+ years for skiing
  12. I got a nice signed copy of the James Neuhaus book of trail maps at the expo today. Really nice humble person.
  13. Nice to see my pals at Wachusett opening in Nov 15. Very early for them. A friend of mine hit it yesterday morning and she said that while terrain was limited it was pretty nice. I was able to get a Silver level pass so I might go some early weekend mornings
  14. I had a bad time on a T bar near the summit of Sugarloaf a long time ago
  15. wachusett is looking to open November 15. That might be tricky
  16. I’m guessing Wachusett starts snowmaking late next week
  17. The Epic local also includes Wildcat and Attitash. Not bad. Get it soon though
  18. If anyone is interested in joining my Wachusett GPS group, let me know
  19. That 2/2/76 gale is insane. Makes Tip’s Fox Hall event seem tame
  20. Just was pondering what event have shaped my weather views. This is a pretty thread but here are 5 of mine (no particular order) Rocktober 2011 Snowstorm (22” here) April Fools Blizzard (36”) 1997 Hurricane Gloria 2008 Ice Storm 1978 Blizzard 4 feet, Hurricane winds Go!
  21. Yup. Thanks. I deleted it myself when I realized that there is this thing called Google or something. I appreciate it. I read up on that storm. Pretty amazing stuff
  22. A tiny, depraved minority. A huge majority are psyched
