No more coastal states and the sierras being snowless in twenty years…These are the conversations that happen when plus 20 anomalies show up in early jan. .

People are leaving most coastal states in 20 years??? What?

Even 1/3 looks much colder on the front end up here. Maybe escape the torch with just one Rainer? .

Done

We'll see 18 from last Friday through this Weds and I'll take the over we go 21 days in January with nothing.

Nam looking interesting for weds up here. .

this week looked like crap 5 days ago and seems to be turning out pretty decent.

When I first mentioned wanting a place at Jay, my wife gave me a resounding "f, no". She had never been that far north in Vt. and hated the idea of that drive. I took her there for a few days and both times we went, they were buried. It snowed almost non-stop on those two trips and after that, and seeing no lift lines on weekends, she finally got it and was on board. I completely agree with the happy wife theory when it comes to skiing. The ability to fix crap weather streaks with fake snow every few days (most of the time) is what makes it different everywhere north of sugarbush. Still crappy sometimes, but 7 days out is an eternity usually in fake snow land.

Yeah, looks like a true jay cloud catching help from the lakes. Gfs and nam both printing out .5 plus before the rain gets here late week Mansfield through here. Might be a surprise real solid week in the northern greens. Let’s see if we can avoid a pack killer 12/31-1/5. .

This! A wise man with a freak in his handle once told me, bring the moisture in the northern greens and the rest will take care of itself. 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. The bright reds aren’t necessary a death sentence in jan. .

Where are you going? We are pushing 6 since yesterday and prob another 3-6 thru weds. Weekend will be warm, but not a torch up here. If we can avoid the soaker and do 30s and showers we could already be recovering by 1/6 if that trends favorably. .

5 more overnight..over a foot since fri and probably another 3-6 by weds..but the party comes to an end even up here by Friday. Hoping we can do 30s and showers next weekend and get back to snow with the 1/6 mess. .

Worth every penny! .

1/6? Fake snow to start the week and maybe we can do 30s and showers as opposed to a washout next week.

Don’t know if we can get lucky next weekend too. That looks wet and upper 30s, which won’t kill it, but not exactly what you want in jan. Need they to trend colder. What are you seeing? .

Not to piss anyone off, but this grinch was much better than some of the past. We got about 8” and the fake snow outlook looks decent the next few days. Major disaster avoided for the northern green ski resorts. .

Ropes dropping on some mid mountain glades today..a Christmas miracle. Happy for all those people who spend a ton of money to ski this week it is going to turn out decent up here. Let’s see how much snow those nw winds bring the next few days. .

That turned around quickly…never would have thought net gain. Probably 6-8 out there. .

This week is going to turn out a lot better than expected ski wise. Even some refreshers throughout the week until we warm toward the new year, but if we can do 30s and overcast or drizzle as opposed to 45 and downpour, the skiing should stay ok. .

It’s snowing hard at 1900’ and there’s at least 3” new down. If this keeps up all night, this might fix a lot. Problem will be wind blowing it everywhere. Looks like some decent upslope Monday and maybe lake enhancement mid week. This doesn’t look like the disaster originally though or like past grinches. No doubt, sucks losing what we had last week, but I think it could have been much worse ski trail wise. .

Stratton was out f’n standing today. Bluebird, Soft natural bumps everywhere, lots of glades in play and even some fresh lines in the right spots. They really held onto last weekends snow well. Temps in the 20s. Almost the whole mountain open. Anyone that can get out tomorrow, I highly recommend it before the storm Friday. .

We just opened them wide based on 10-15 day ensemble runs and that didn’t exactly pan out. Implying nothing for the next three weeks is just an emotional response to us recently getting burned. .

It would be cool comparing more exact numbers for a season. The science of it and how it just snows whenever it wants up there is fascinating. Definitely work on him for cameras. They need one at the bases and up high. It would be cool to see the differences and people who don’t know the mountain would be able to see how often it really does just fart out snow. Let him know their snow reports are great. They update 3-4 time a day and are including snowmaking updates this year (my personal favorite). People talk about how jay and Stowe are the few left who actually give snow reports instead of canned bs. They just need to get you doing live wind measurements on top of tower 16 of the flyer. .

I like it..keep talking dirty to me. .

Yeah, anything above 6 is going to be good skiing. The number really doesn’t matter. .
