powderfreak Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Dumping. Nice! Currently doing the same thing here. We had a similar squall around 3pm with 1.5"/hr rates. Hey Scott, Awesome winter period. Skiing has been fantastic. I'lll be at MRG tues/wed, the only skiing I do is on the weekends with my 5yo at the B'east. Otherwise, just mid-week. I'd rather work Sat and ski Wednesday. Snowhoed up/ skied down Thunderbolt with a friend today, pretty phemonenal. We had scouted it in the fall and saw that it was being pruned and spruced up. That lack of any freeze thaw cycle whatsoever has gone a long way to creating such stellar conditions. Basically the worst surface you encounter is windslabbed snow, oh the horror. Easy to get spoiled. Glad to hear Stowe is having a strong year, I know MRG is doing well after a shakey start. Looking forward to several more months of skiing. I love the second half of the season because by then you're in top shape and some of the best snow of the year awaits. My friend has finally skied his way back to Alaska but is saying he's jealous of our snow, of all things. Some how I think he'll get the last laugh in June when he's still on the snow and we're on the tee.lol That's awesome about the Thunderbolt... I've never done that trail but for Massachusetts the stats are pretty awesome with well over 2,000ft of vertical and a steep pitch the whole way. I've always wanted to ski that thing and if there's a year to do it, this is the year. What you said about the lack of any freeze-thaw cycle is dead on... there's no crust/ice layer under all the powder so you never get those icy conditions, even with the top layer of snow gets skied off. Its just fresh powder on top of settled powder, haha. And yes, wind-slab is the worst of the conditions right now, oh the horror indeed. Everyone from Berkshire East to Jay Peak is in great shape heading into the second half of the season... and even if we finally get a thaw-freeze cycle (which looks like it'll happen Thurs/Fri), it won't be the end of the world because then we'll just be left with a bomber base for the big March snows to rest on.

Ginx snewx Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 As Weenies Thought. Good thing because all the media and NWS missed this this morning, they missed the ice fog debacle this AM and the intensity of squalls this afternoon. Like I said three days ago, all the focus is on a warmup , missing the tree through the forest, knew it would happen, media fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Yeah it was a total white out here..... sweet Only an inch, but it blew all around then with the temperature diving from near 32 to 24. I could pull another inch tomorrow with one of these clippers...we'll see. Monday's looks well north, but squall line behind it and a very cold day Tuesday. Dumping.

ski MRG Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 2-4 AIT wanted to post the radar loop from wunderground. Can't. I like the punching in the 01084 zip code, I then get the radar Map with x marking my locale. Trajectory looks good for that upstream stuff. You've been right on for today Steve.

ski MRG Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 Nice streamer Pete It is pretty good. I'm in a bad spot between the KENX and BOS radars. No man's land. Still snow is falling and would hope to pick up another 1-2" overnight if the stars align. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 It's about one mile north of me ...according to radar. Also better streamer is north of the Mohawk it seems.... It is pretty good.

Ginx snewx Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 The winds from that streamer are being picked up by box radar, right over my head. What is cool on the radar shot I posted is the winds are ripping all-around the snow band but the streamer of snow has light winds, like a tunnel, very cool. This winter is amazing.
