Conditions are fantastic for what this event is..really helped out there and the perfect density.

Starting to come down now..about 3.5 so far.

Just switched to snow. Let’s see what this thing can do.

Temp down to 40 at 1850’...nothing more frustrating than watching liquid wasted as you wait for a changeover.

There’s plenty of lines in there..ha

Def spring conditions, but there’s some natural stuff and glades holding strong!

Probably my last weekend up here too...it’s been a fun ride...Less time up north next year, but hopefully, more snow.

Possible upslope enhancement delivers more inches after the fact and the storm itself delivers more L.E. Frozen. It’s not going to take much for a really decent ski weekend. It’s beat up here, but there’s still some natural terrain and woods holding on.

Latest nam run is garbage too...wow at the back and forth with these runs..it delays the change-over...so only hope is elevation does it’s thing a little sooner.

Make sure you steal from the daks, not the greens...

Weak.

One last good one before us transplants call it a snow season?

That 8 spot at jay may be high, but doable with enhancement. Wind should be kickin too up here so it might be the perfect situation where the gaps get filled in with the low density stuff at the start and then then the wind hides some powder in the woods for the weekend...probably overly optimistic, but maybe this is one of those where 1500’ is the difference maker...just hoping the winds don’t go too crazy as we all know how temperamental the flyer is!

maybe a little upslope enhancement at the end with the low departing over central Maine for you and me though. A few inches or maybe just snow globey. Those 850s get cold after 0Z Friday.

Yeah, 18z Nam showing a nice burst of heavy snow Thurs morning/afternoon up here. Thurs/Fri into this weekend might be the best two days for the remainder of the season in the Northern Greens. Still looks like a pretty sharp cut-off for the difference making snow once south of the MRV.

Think people are tired of the hyperbole quotes in the news.

Sleet with a dense 6-8 on top would fill in the gaps on some trails that weren't completely washed out, no? Just hoping for one last good weekend before we are relegated to the token 5-10 snow making trails that we limp to the end with.

I’m going to guess a fairly dense snow and temps stays seasonal too so could make for a decent ski weekend after the garbage we have had the last week. Too little, too late tho, for all but sugarbush north through jay I would think. We might get back in the trees tho up here.

Flipped to snow..if we get about 30” tonight, that should fix everything.

The “vail sucks guy” was hanging out on Facebook a lot this year with the “why is the flyer on wind-hold guy; don’t they care about covid”....The “wind hold guy” would bash jay because “he’s been skiing his whole life and it’s not that windy at the base...and now all these lift lines are longer and spreading covid all over and it’s going to cause a super outbreak all because you put the lift on wind-hold when it’s not windy”...mean while, the wind on tower 16 is over 60 mph...

I was hoping a flip to heavy wet snow with some upslope this weekend/early next week could save it for a bit, but yeah, it’s looking bad. I could see not being able to fix the lower run outs to the lifts at lower elevations enough being an issue. Would be nice if mon or thurs trended colder to buy us some time.

You are answering a question with a question...What part do you think was horrendous? Look, I don't work for vail or Mt. Snow or anything, and quite frankly, Mt. Snow is not even in my top 3 in Vermont. It's close by when I'm not up North, they blow a ton of snow, and the North Face can be decent to get some laps in. But you post things like "vail sucks" and "Mt snow is horrendous" and don't say why. I will say Vail customer service sucked this year. You couldn't get anyone to talk to, they lost passes, and they were clearly understaffed. But that's the call center stuff. I've been to Mt. Snow under peak and Vail and I didn't notice anything that was" horrendous" in comparison this year, especially considering Covid stuff.

Give us something to fix today and tmrw. Above 1500 feet works for me.

The snow on Superstar will last no matter how warm it gets. Here is Superstar on July 6th Last year, still with a tiny little patch of snow hanging on. Pretty amazing that trail has at least some snow on it for every month of the year except August and September.

What part of Mount Snow has been horrendous? It has always had issues with crowds due to it's proximity. I haven't noticed them blowing less snow or cutting corners on the Mountain. In fact, I think they open earlier now then pre vail and peak. If you are judging by this year, I think that's a mistake because it was crowded everywhere to some extend. Maybe they could have run the Grand Summit Express more often to help with lines at the Bluebird, but other than that, I don't think Vail did anything to make it horrendous. Now, if you are talking customer service or trying to get someone on the phone to deal with the passes, that's a different story. But I think Mt. Snow was the same as it has always been.
