It snowed natural and man made) from Thursday thru Saturday at Sugarloaf and the skiing is absolutely phenomenal right now. Friday afternoon at the TOS it dumped snow-about 7" I skied 1st tracks yesterday morning and it was 8 degrees at the base and froze my ass off. There is expert terrain right down to blues and they have wall to wall coverage. There will be plenty of terrain for your wife to ski............ It is winter at Sugarloaf. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a very unlikely way to go about it, but it keeps dangling the carrot one way or another. It kind of has a wave riding up the front once it clears the coast, I'd be pretty skeptical of that, But it did move a bit east with the trough and SLP from 06z a bit.

The early phase and retreating HP is not doing us any justice at this time, We will need improvements on both fronts to at least ward off the warm air intrusion even into the ski areas of VT/NH and Northern Maine.

I know you're probably booked at the hotel and it's too late to back out, but I know when we went to Saddleback last year, it was super windy/snow on that friday and we were able to switch to Sat. Just had to pay the diff in tix price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryslot Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Talk to my buddy this morning in Eustis, There 15 miles past Sugarloaf, Told me they've had 10" since New Years, 3" of that was Saturday, They'll be fine with this one and would get upslope on the backside anyways.

Another possibility is disputing the charge with the credit card company...do that only after a few attempts to cancel the ski trip. and keep in mind that being polite and nice goes a long way towards getting the desired result....One thing I always do when trying to resolve an issue is to ask the person how they are doing. And I always refer to the person by their name... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I get there infrequently I follow SLoaf's conditions very carefully and they seem to be in good shape having avoided the big torch and rain and some snow since New Year's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NW_of_GYX Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Quiet in here. NAM has been fairly consistent with the thermals on this and here in CAD land I’m hopeful for a 2-4” thump before the flip. Maybe we net gain even down here, best we can hope for.

dryslot Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Foothills will get some front end, Mtns could get a decent thump to of 4-8", The area that's in the best spot right now is Northern Maine, They could see 6-12" before any changeover, Some models keep them mainly snow until the end before a changeover.

I think north of caribou is definitely where you want to be with this one. I don’t think Presque isle is gonna do all to well in this next one, unless this goes east some. My buddies and I have a cabin rented In Sinclair for the winter….we’re hopping this gets them in the game, so we can get up there and do some sledding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we had the last week of December, and All of Jan, Feb and March. So if things turn around some(good chance it does way up there), we got plenty of time.
