No upper mountain lifts on tramside…nw over 30 usually takes out the Bonnie too…maybe jet? Could also take the metro and hike up lower river quai to hit some lower mountain glades off goat. Tuesday will be the day. .

That’s a nice spot for the red dot .

Jay will likely have nothing on tramside. Might get the jet running, but even the Bonnie could be on hold with strong nw flow. .

It will go a long way right now. The backside looks promising. But it looks like the same cycle midweek, warm up, rain, and hope for something positive on the back end next weekend. Mon/tues might be good. This year has featured some pretty impressive wipe outs like Christmas week and this past week. Just decimated the base. .

We are looking at almost 150 hours straight without dipping much below freezing. Throw in some rain and the fact that it’s March, and I agree that grim is a good term. That’s a lot of melting without solid refreeze nights. Butttt, there has been steady improvement in some of these storms over the last few days. I think it’s going to be a pick your spots kind of finish. I bet we score some real good days in the next 3 weeks, but they’ll be vastly outnumbered by the meltdown days. There’s been a few runs here and there where the 10th gets us pretty good and then sits in a good spot. Pro navy best hope for an extended good period. Just have to hope you can get out after one of snows. .

Hitting both of those and winter park next week. Out of copper and a-basin, which do you think has better trees and what areas to hit? I’m only at each for a couple days. .

Must be pretty far south because my NJ home currently has a 3” pack and no grass showing; been that way for almost 2 weeks, though I think it’s on life support by tomorrow. .

Unexpected mood flakes..started the day at 5. .

Another fine morning… .

Looks like winter to me. I know what your agenda is, but my comment wasn’t that it hasn’t been +11 this month, it was that it has felt like deep winter this weekend. it hasn’t stopped snowing more than a few hours in the last 3 days, we’ll be pushing two feet in that stretch by morning, temps have been in the teens during the day and barely above zero at night with a steady wind and chills below zero. To me, that is “obviously” a deep winter feel. I’ve enjoyed it. .

Ok is a good way to put it. Some excellent stretches, but less refreshes it seems than the past few years when it gets bad. It’s been non stop snow the past few days, but about a 10 day drought before. The Christmas torch was pretty epic this year too. .

You would never know it’s +11.2 if you were out this weekend. Deep winter and biting cold. .

1.25” in last hour. Gonna be another stellar morning to get out early. Looks like heavier band coming through between 11-1 on 3k and swinging down toward Stowe for a bit. .

Dumping snow again..just measured 3.5” since last chair. .

Yep, at one point it was sunny on stateside and snowing on tramside. Real high ratio stuff. I think you guys might have beat up here during this cycle. Either way, snowed almost straight through last chair today. Early march 2020 beats it though. 36” down liftline after it opens midday. Best I remember in the past 5. .

Woods are better than the naturals right now. I was hitting bottom in better bumps on some til I figured out it was better to ski right through the bump. Snowed most of the day here. Nice over performer. Now to be greedy I want to see Sunday night surprise high so Monday and Tuesday when everybody bails it’s good. .

Deep winter… .

Still hit the bottom every once in a while, but not bad for a refresh.. .

Crusty bottom underneath anything with pitch, but overall, pretty damn good out there… .

Death band in northern nj hunterdon county… .

600’ in hunterdon county… .

We usually stay away this weekend and rent our place, but someone cancelled about a month ago and we just said f it just go up. I’m glad the snow came because without it, shoving all those people onto 50 percent open, icy terrain would have been a nightmare. Jay can usually avoid the crazy lift lines you see on social media even on this weekend and stick with 10 minute lines, but when the wind kicks up later and the tram and flyer go on hold, it will get bad. To pfs point though, when you’re starving and there’s food on the table, I guess you gotta eat. .

Still snowing…. .

Do you really see an increase from locals? I figured the people that booked are there no matter what and locals stay the f away this weekend. 10-15 though after 10 days of icy hardback prob gets people itching. Should be pretty big gradient north to south w/ the winners north of sugarbush. Still think Monday/Tuesday will be the gems if we do well Sunday night. What’s your thoughts on Sunday? Looks like it may be loosing some punch and shut off sooner. .

Dumping snow again. Well over a foot today. The snow machine just won’t quit off that flow into the northern spine. .
