FlatLander48 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Yea none of the short term models really look good either. I think the 4k Nam looks really accurate and I'll roll with it. Yea haven't got on my computer yet to check the gusts, but the wind has picked up considerably here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlatLander48 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Hmmm...after looking at slope cams, I may be going to Beech instead of Sugar...Sugar doesn't look good right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonhowl Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 In this neck of the woods even getting a dusting out of NWFS has been rare in recent years. Starting to look like no dusting out of this one but at least I can fire up the wood-stove and see some flakes flying around for a winter experience.

I'm still going to go but as a broke college student I really can't make up a good reason to spend $40 in gas to see an 1" of snow. But It'll be worth it just to see some snow fall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went last week with family that came up for the holidays. A lot of corn and ice. Until they can blow enough to cover it I'm afraid most will be that way. I still have fun no matter the conditions though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, I'm planning on doing just the night skiing tonight to save money, so they should have the guns going a couple of hours before that session starts, so it should help some. Gonna be a blizzard on the slopes with the man made combining with the natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlatLander48 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Haven't made it to the end of the 12z yet, but next weeks system looks good on that particular run for the northern mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks very promising. Stays snow most of the time until at the tail end some sleet. Feeling pretty confident we will cash in next weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hvward Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I like tonight for snow showers across most of WNC above 2200'. Already have some convective showers popping up across the mountains with the sun beaming down and temps in the low 40's. Seeing some flurries here already in Weaverville. I think Asheville could see a dusting from this and the higher mountains get 2"-4"+. I'll be out chasing tonight.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNC_Fort Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I'll be in Boone tonight. Hoping to cash in on some accumulation. Been a crappy first season in the high country for me so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beech looked like a war zone at the base today, to many people. I always prefer Beech, but that was before the new six pack and slope at Sugar. I'll be headed to Cat tomorrow night and Wolf Saturday since I'm spending new years in Asheville. Here is the RGEM 12z, lets hope its at least this much. Webcams aren't showing much yet.

So gunthers run is awesome? I wish sugar would do a night pass like Winterplace, WV and Cat. $700 is absurd for a pass. I only paid $600 for my epic local pass for the Vail resorts.
