  1. BDL at -2.9F for the first 9 days of the month. That's pretty impressive. Next week's record cold will add to the negative departure. WU has every day below normal temperature wise here in Enfield through 11/18.
  2. The Cupsuptic T-bar isn't very steep and serves a nice collection of blue runs. Cupsuptic T-bar:
  3. Saddleback is replacing the Cupsuptic T-bar with a new one. Personally I'd rather see a chairlift, but you can access the Summit via a cut across to the Kennebago Quad. I've done this lots of times during wind events. This is probably why they are keeping it.
  4. Loved the tbar. About halfway up there was a steep section that would briefly tug hard. Some people would fall there The biggest problem was the windblown T-bar track at the Summit. Frequently there was nothing but ice at the summit.
  5. 23.5F Here, no wind gusts since sunset.
  6. High temperature here in my part of Enfield of 33.8F -23F below normal.
  7. Today felt great, can't wait for the record cold next week. NWS has a forecast low of 17F, I think the BDL record is 19F.
  8. Saddleback on 5/1/15, they were closed and we skied at Sugarloaf. We went past Saddleback on the way home.
  9. Closing day and Saddleback's last day of operations. 4/18/15
  10. I'm up late at night with pain from my PLS disease, so I post late when I can't sleep. My first time at Sugarloaf was 12/89, but I started skiing in 1983. I was at Saddleback on closing day on 4/18/15, I didn't think they would be closed for 5 years from that point. The major issue with Saddleback is the lack of lodging space during the Winter. Saddleback is a ski area located in a snowmobiling town. It's very difficult to get lodging in Rangely during the Winter. Sugarloaf has a huge bed capacity, Saddleback does not. Most of my days at Saddleback were in Spring, after snowmobiling was done, or as a day trip from Sugarloaf. I probably have about 40 days in at Saddleback. It's my son's favorite ski area in New England.
  11. Killington is making snow TTB through Snowdon right now. I would think it might open by Sunday.
  12. It looks like Saddleback may have found a buyer and will reopen. https://www.sunjournal.com/2019/11/07/agreement-reached-on-sale-of-saddleback/
  13. The back edge of the rain is here, just rain here tonight. Light rain and 39F.
  14. I think the cold front passed through here. Big gust of wind and the temperature dropped down to 40.9F.
  15. About as reliable as the GFS, wait can I still call it that?
