You take your chances with an active pattern up there in Jan every time. If it were balls cold and looked great for coastal SNE you get the feeling he wouldn't cancel, and that could be potentially terrible up in NNE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good grooming can turn an icy trail into a really fun skiing day. I'm actually looking forward to the warmup - nicely groomed trails with 30s and 40s daytime high can be a treat in January! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarloaf1989 Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Merry Christmas. I'm here at my sisters house in Milford, Pennsylvania. There's about 3" of snow on the ground. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up learning to ski in dogshit….1990-1991, 1991-1992 were my first two winters where I learned to ski and skied a lot. Someone can go look up those winter but the spoiler alert is they sucked giant donkey balls with tons of cutters. I assumed it was normal back then as I didn’t know any better. But you are correct at how good they are at fixing those groomers. Even back then. Yeah, we couldn’t go on the natural snow moguls all the time but the groomers were often great even the day after a cutter. At any rate though, NNE could get buried before the 19th. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t care what the models say, it’s not going to be snowless in NNE. This is not a super nino. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This December has been cold with the storm track to our west, so NNE got buried while we rained. This is different than Dec 2015 where everyone torched. Both patterns sucked for eastern mass but one buried NNE and the other skunked everyone. It will warm up yes, but in January in NNE it can and does snow in well above normal temps. Have you gone up to NNE this year to ski? I have, and it looks a lot different than it does in SNE. Cancelling a ski trip in NNE for mid jan because you don’t think there will be enough snow is a terrible idea. Climo matters here, if the models are showing something that deviates from climo you should question it (like if they show a blizzard in May for SNE). This is the same idea.

If we can avoid the soaker and do 30s and showers we could already be recovering by 1/6 if that trends favorably.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it may rain sometimes, but I’ll take my chances with lots of storms in January over deep cold patterns every day of the week.

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I’m glad everyone has endless money that they can piss away on ski trips and mediocre conditions. I wasn’t trying to be an ass, it’s a legitimate concern, when you’re spending $400 or more to ski for two days, plus a condo, food, etc, you’d like it to be decent. My wife also got hurt skiing the first time she went, and it’s taken almost a decade to get her to try it again, so I’d prefer it wasn’t a disaster 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
