    Good evening Hitman. Your honesty is refreshing. I venture to guess the shade effect, if any, may be different in your situation. Stay well, as always …..

    Good guess.  the shading comes from an oak tree which is about 50' from the sensor and a good 100-125' tall.

    Good evening, G L, Hitman, Rob. CPK 90, 89, Sat & Sun. Newark 95 both days. It’s early in the season but so far the box score regarding CPK is trees 2, accuracy 0. Stay well, as always ….

    to be fair, I have some large trees in proximity to my sensor as well.

    The leaf out this year is wild. Traveling from Mahopac south, many trees barely leafed out.  But a few are fully leafed out making for a great contrast. Once you get past the SMP, its like another world.

    Can confirm.  Oaks in my backyard aren’t out yet.

    enjoy the sun today then hunker down.

    Yeah, I don’t want to give the impression that Stowe is any different than equivalent mountains around here with steep terrain and high speed lifts – I just focused on it specifically to address Alex’s comment.  Jay, ‘bush, Killington, etc. are all in the same boat when there’s been a thaw/freeze without a resurfacing storm.  Even the lower capacity places like Smugg’s, MRG, Bolton etc. are in that boat, they just have a little more time before conditions deteriorate because of lower levels of skier traffic.

    The reality is that there’s no way to maintain decent snow quality on steep, on piste terrain after a thaw/freeze, unless there’s a significant resurfacing storm, or a resort wants to make a ton of snow and resurface a certain trail.  The off piste and/or lower angle terrain are generally the places with far better snow quality in these situations.

    They do close off the natural terrain after these thaws to save what they can.

    got soaked this morning.  Was nice and dry until the moment I got off the first lift.  Apparently it’s time to re waterproof my gloves.  Well worth it for the back to back powder days prior.
