HoarfrostHubb Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I love Burke, I have had a season pass for 2 years. Very cheap if you go to Lyndon State college. here is the link to their prices: http://skiburke.com/main/?page_id=187 Heres the thing about burke. The prices aren't bad but you are getting your money's worth going there. The place is never busy, even on vacation weeks and weekends there is never more than a 2-3 minute lift line and most of the time you ski right up to the chair. The lift from mid to the summit is a bit slow but the views are incredible and with no lines you get a ton of runs in. The mountain has 2,000 ft of vertical and some really fun wide open steeper blues and some narrow, old New England style trails, that wind their way down. They always have a good amount of snow and trails are kept up nice. Some great natural bump runs and legendary glade runs (too advanced for me). People are skeptical that go there but when they do they realize what a secret it is. Burke is a great, old school mountain... super chili-mac there, too at the mid mountain place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Don't see much of an ice threat. Old rotting snow cover, and a late February sun. In the Berks? at night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKpowdah Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 In the Berks? at night? Maybe, but I'd say it's more a snow-sleet-rain situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and MPM have a better shot at more snow. Either way temps don't look to get out of the 30's out here. I don't care about mby as long as S. Vt gets some decent snows.

I would think you will wind up on the short end at your house Friday, but hopefully I am wrong. The 2 or 3" you get will be washed away and then some.. although the changeover later Friday might put you on the plus side. Where ya headed? My place will probably be shut down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather Girl 22 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 0z GFS has a nice little snow event after the deluge on sunday, 2-4" ? I hope so. It would cancel my seeing my B/F. Looks almost like the beginning of the Huge Cutter's precipitation. Almost like they merge, yet someone said it was a separate Clipper in this thread. Still learning.

OKpowdah Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Not quite as much clearing on the 00z GFS Monday afternoon.

CoastalWx Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 Well both the euro and GFS have a nice overrunning event Sunday, So far, week 2 in March looks ok. I still think something near ern mass for the low track, so maybe not a 55 rain event for Kevin, but it's close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineJayhawk Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Well, wow and holy crap. GYX has issued winter storm warnings for all but the coastal zones and southern tier of NH counties and the point forecast is showing 9-13" for my hood. I'm not buying it ... I'll be straight rain for at least a few hours. Snow accum graphic shows the r/s line pretty clearly. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpsonsbuff Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 My biggest complaint about that map is i'm not sure we're going to have the moisture to support a foot here. I'd have said 10 inch maxes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have said 10 inch maxes... It does seem robust, though this storm has been modeled increasingly stronger. When I saw it I had to think of yesterday when Matt Lacroix mentioned 6-14" and I questioned the high-end. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Models have, if anything, trended slightly cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
