ski MRG Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 29/19, catching some spillover flurries, cool to see the crest of the Berks wring out any moisture moving east. Unfortunately the Peru webcam is down currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Miser Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Williamstown, Ma: -30 degrees -Cloudy -A few mangled dendrites. Views off of my parent's back deck this morning. Just an overall ominous looking day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski MRG Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Yea Jay gets smoked although a great majority of it gets blown into the trees locked in mostly tight tree unskiable terrain, but their glades do have chest high stashes.

Cold Miser Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 What about Yawgoo Valley in RI???? lol. Every year, I always think they are gonna pack it in, but every season they open the hill once again. I think they have a summer water slide thing going on as well.

Ginx snewx Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 What about Yawgoo Valley in RI???? Learned to ski there at age12 , taught my kids there. Great place to learn, nice location in a microclimate near URI. Basically a learning center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Jay is in the best location for a ski area in the eastern U.S... no doubt. On Mansfield we have high terrain south of us and north of us so we don't really upslope on a due southerly flow or due northerly flow. However, any easterly or westerly component to the wind will upslope over 3,000ft between the lower elevations east/west of the mountain, and the 4,000ft ridgeline. In general though, no one can beat Jay for pure orographic fun. Even E and NE Jay does better than Mansfield because the terrain to the E and NE is pretty flat around Jay while Mansfield has 2000-2500 ft hills east of them. How much does the Mansfield Stake have now anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Sunday River skiing on 21 trails off of 4 lifts (90 acres of terrain). Looks like Locke, Barker, and Spruce Peaks are open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 No snow there... they downslope off the mighty Tolland crest. What's funny is they probably had more great dry powder snow in one storm last year 26 inches than did most ski areas outside of VT in New England. What an upside down year.

Yeah--I'm looking out my window and I can see the snow out your way. Based on the radar, it's pretty much south of the Deerfield. Franklin County, ftl. Just some on and off flakes here. Sky to the west is somewhat promising, though, so maybe what your having will fill into the north a bit. 33.4/20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now 30 after hitting 31. I'd imagine we'll both see some snsh activity on and off. Nice blustery cold Winter like day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still just some mood snow here with the sun peeking through teh clouds. 33.2 I'm heading to the valley in a few minutes . If you look at the current radar you can see the snsh activity dries up almost immediately once it gets just east of here. I doubt NoHO or 'burgy sees anything more than a streay flake. Looking upstream it looks like that more robust streamer off l.Ontario is shifting south so maybe the trajectory becomes more favorable for another round here in a few hours. So glad to live up high. Elev FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski MRG Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 That's not a streamer but a windex super squall, winds gusted above forty when that blasted through. I just assumed it was a run of the mill streamer after noting all the LES snow watches/warnings posted for the Tug. I would think if it's a Windex type event it might have a better chance of holding together. Yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I'm relying on visual here. Your hills and theirs were 'blurred' by snow. Perhaps in the valley it was drying up before reaching the gournd. You're unfortunately too far north. The past 3 seasons I've watched most snow shower activity with any lakes association always target Pete's area. Not sure why but it's got to be topography.
