Do you guys that need scratchers have studded tracks? I never needed scratchers when running a 144 studded track

Both, I only run min studs, Don't need the extra track weight.

this is some serious split flow with an active STJ, which ups the risk for phasing scenarios as well. it's a great pattern as advertised

Gotta watch to see if that extreme pattern gets modified over time....long way out.

It probably won't be extreme...but even if that verifies diluted by 30%, it's still a pretty cold/stormy look. Then again, it's not uncommon for a signal that strong at D12-15 to morph into a extreme pattern.

I hear you, although when I had my 800.. 144 seemed the minimum I could get away with

I have a 137" and wish I had a 129".  But that is because I ride a lot of twisties.

My track is 1.25 inch paddle with studs.  Sled is a 1200 which is notorious for overheating.  

My son's 2 stroke - no studs and no scratchers...never overheats.

Did you go over towards SR, Andover to Coos Canyon? Its usually good from there to Rangeley.

Bethel VT... should have been more specific.

Yeah you can see toward the end of the run, the PNA ridge and EPO are linked which creates a very meridional pattern that even loses the SE ridge....so perhaps a chance at a season-end big dog with that look if it verifies.

 

 

I've seen that look before....

Another nice wintry day. This is a brackish inlet just at the end of my street.

This just came up in my FB memories.

Pit2 in 2017.  According to my post, we had 41" over the course of the week with another foot forecast for that day (which I recall under-performed).  In any case, a tremendous stretch.

Great stretch for Maine. And then it all melted under days of 60s, dews, and sunshine the next week.

That winter was great… 16-17 is underrated in NNE.

Yeah I don’t think that winter gets as much credit but it snowed a lot.  Most snow I’ve ever measured on the mountain with 375” at 3,000ft.  It just wanted to snow.

We also had two raging cutters after the two biggest storms that season. Our 38" pack only lasted a few days

I have a studs. This is the first year I’ve had them. It was icy enough Sunday that was glad. My son’s 600 ACE overheated a couple of times. Studs no scratchers.

The huge mid February storm was something special.  Most snow I remember in the woods in a very long time.  Only sad part of that winter was the 4 days of 70's a week after that big storm.  Still ripped deep woods lines at Stowe, Smuggs and Jay the first week of March, didn't really seem like it melted all that much.  March raged back strong with that massive mid month storm.  "Stella!"

I remember a good April Fools storm that year with like 10" of dense snow falling on the day of the ski area's pond skim event... then later in April a 14" upslope storm hit with high QPF, like spring graupel.  It just wanted to precipitate that winter.  Not many QPF concerns.

It may be a Kuchie map but the consistency in Canada is insane to me.  That Canadian Shield of snow.

Imagine if that was 300-500 miles further south.  Gradient and how consistent snowfall amounts are north of it over a full two week model run is crazy.

Good for them!  

We need snow down here or the spring season will be a bust outside of a few sloppy ribbons.

Is That a 137” track?  Makes me think it’s a 136” track with 54 rows/bars/windows cuz thats a 2.52 pitch.  
 

Most 137’s and 129’s are 2.86 pitch tracks with 48 rows/bars/windows(137”), and 45 rows on the 129”.
