dryslot Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 MPM, you live in NW MA at 1100'. Seriously...I want to slap you sometimes. You are fine. Good God.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 The reports on Snowjournal and Killingtonzone are kind of meh, nothing great. I've been skiing for 32 years and done this thaw/freeze snowmaking blitz many times. I'll take a wait and see for freshies opportunities next week. I've got free tickets to Berkshire East, Magic and Killington, I'm just waiting for the right time to use them. I would give it a 6-7 at Sunday River today. Some trails were great (left). Jordan was skied off early we heard and there's some hard packed ice on some of the trails easily accessible from the main areas. They definitely are pouring snow on it and we have had a few inches today. I expect it'll be a 7-8 on Friday and probably a ten by Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I can't really do any meaningfull skiing in the Boston vicinity nor here in the Alps of Northeastern Connecticut, so I could care less if it snow's in either place as far as skiiing is concerned + the mountain economy could really use snow at this holiday timepoint. Those that ski like yourself appreciate it and understand its uses, But everyone is different in there reasoning's for snow but should not run any area under the bus for its pluses or minuses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Let me be frank. If I have to rain while they snow, I'm not consoled. If they smoke cirrus while I'm snowing, I'm happy. I don't give a shiat about SR but do care a lot about snow in the Boston area. Call me evil. I can't really do any meaningfull skiing in the Boston vicinity nor here in the Alps of Northeastern Connecticut, so I could care less if it snow's in either place as far as skiiing is concerned + the mountain economy could really use snow at this holiday timepoint. Your wishes and mine won't effect things. Mountain economy aside, I'd rather snow imby. I like local snow shoe activity and plain hiking. No longer keen on downhill skiing.

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 The chance of all snow for you is about 3%. I figured that lol. I was more talking about getting something measurable at some point. Even for that were going to have too see this continue to trend pretty hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Scott--at this time frame, I think it's crazy to think I'm fine. Sure, better than most SNE folks (actually, per my poll, perhaps all lol). But this could easily track further NW with a stronger primary dashing any hope for here. Just looking at the possibilities. Has there been a storm where you haven't been worried yet? I think there's always a QPF or mix/rain worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Well people can wish for whatever they want. Those who ski up here from SNE probably would prefer a good snowfall in the mtns before they have a trip planned. It's nice when we all get involved in the fun though. Jan 2011 was fun considering how many received a big snowfall, but some always get left out. I just wish we didn't have to read so many F NNE/F SNE posts. Mother Nature doesn't give a damn. If I smoke cirrus and you get blitzed then so be it. update your sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds great, Coventry seems like a perfect conditions only kind of guy lately. Meh its Eastern skiing, after what just happened you must be enthralled. Mid week there coming up will be off the hook good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 On second thought ... this kind of remains me of that system earlier in the season that was also a Miller-A type runner, and the GFS was trying to bring a 2" accretion mess to ORH... If you recall, I think that one ended up being mostly liquid and positive score for the Euro, but perhaps my memory is skewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 You worry way too much and then get dumped on. Sure it might not be all snow, but in the grand scheme of things..you look fine relative to all of us. Lol, I laugh at his post, He is in a great spot most of the time in Mass along with the hoarhubb He balances Kevin's overconfidence well. LOL at the posts. Keep in mind two things: 1) I'm not in the same area as Pete. I'd be much more confident if I were 10 miles northwest of here. In fact, I probably wouldn't give a sh*t over p-type concerns 95% of the time. 2) I get influenced by the angst shared by the board over p-type concerns, be they due to track or other issues. Now back to my coffee as we await the NAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N. OF PIKE Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I think tomorrow is perfect for skiing VT. not too cold some fresh snow. After new years the arctic hounds will be howling! man I remember how the NW wind can absolutely RIP at stowe, it was quite distrurbing some of the wind gusts and cold. When the arctic air is rushing in...on NW winds....you really don't wanna be out up there. Just my opinion but I'm sure powder freak can attest to the NW winds just ripping. This is pretty much true for a lot of ski areas in NNE ....esp Wildcat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is pretty much true for a lot of ski areas in NNE ....esp Wildcat. Yeah obviously depends on the wind direction but NW is historically the strongest winds at most ski areas like Jay Peak, Smuggs, Stowe, up in these parts... however NW wind is also our snow wind a lot of the time, so there's the trade off. If we are getting a true arctic blast with like -20 to -30C at H85 and a nice 40kt NW flow... yeah it gets brutal. Its why I'm not a big fan of big cold...normal is plenty cold enough this time of year, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
