  1. This is a unique one from a mountain ops perspective. I don’t think it really even set up that much before the snow on weds. It should be right side up so this may actually just kind of fix itself by the weekend. The damage was major though; the difference between 35 and rain and 45 and rain for 2 days decimated it…but if there was going to be a grinch, one that is fixed 48-72 hours later is probably best case scenario in my opinion. .
  2. Probably let it drain for a bit and firm up…but pf is the expert on this. Snowmaking trails actually won’t be terrible in this, but anything natural is done until Thursday. .
  3. Very soft and slow out there on anything other than snowmaking. Some of the naturals up top held up ok, but your quads were screaming from the deep mashed bumps. This rain will wipe most natural terrain, but Thursday really starting to look like a major upslope event to me. I’d bet we’re back in the woods and 100 percent open by Friday. Woods were skiable and there’s def base, but an acl waiting to happen in my opinion… .
  4. The new model is pre purchase. You can get $70 no blackout tix good all season if you purchase early. .
  5. If your timing was Mon-weds then I get it. Sucks to catch the rain. But the times that it’s not actually raining, the snow will be soft and decent…I’d argue better than the icy mess last year…and I bet it’s dumping by weds pm so those that did a whole week will have Thursday and Friday as ridiculously good powder days; though I could see wind issues. You’re the met, but that looks like classic over performing upslope weds-Fri up here. .
  6. Jay has been on point..100 percent open today. One of the best Christmas weeks in a while..yes, tnrw and Monday will be wet, but the base is there and that’s a heck of an upslope look late week. Should be net positive and then some..but to your point, March and early April is where it’s at. .
  7. That is a nice signal on the gfs for a solid upslope event late week…would guess double digit cycle totals into the weekend if it held. .
  8. Tuesday morning has over-performer written all over it. The late month torch period looks to turn into just a great, comfortable ski period before a reload. Winter falling into place nicely so far and terrain builds well ahead of last year. .
  9. I agree…it’s felt like December. People leaving the house tonight bundled up and hearing the cracking of ice and seeing snow on the ground makes it feel as it should. .
  10. And as a bonus, you might get to light yourself on fire based on the report out of Taunton .
  11. I have those exact same tacky plastic soldiers in the exact same spot…. My wife hates them, but I insist on putting them out every year. Had them since I was a kid in the 80s. .
  12. Pretty cool getting such a detailed plan..everyone knows I’m bias toward Jay, but their snowmaking has been kicking ass this year. Maybe go after killington this year for latest season with the superstar project? .
  13. Good for them..they took a beating publicly on the slow start so it’s good to see them hit their groove..it’s the most inconvenient mountain for me to visit personally, but when it’s on, it’s such a great spot I try and get there at least once a year. .
  14. Not exactly a huge data set...kinda a stretch for a stat to be negative, no?
  15. Going to be one of those weekends where you just get the water to the guns and max out the systems. There’s some Vermont mountains that really need to make up some ground…sugarbush, Burke, even Mt Snow seem really behind. Jay is ahead of where they usually are and Stowe and Killington seem pretty on track. Stratton is another spot that seems to be doing very well this year with snow making and terrain expansion. .
  16. The upslope doesn’t look bad as this pulls away overnight. Might pick up enough to make for a sneaky good morning. .
  17. I immediately thought of him too…def sounds like NIMBYism. .
  18. Fuckery was always one of my favorites, but I will def add fuckening to my arsenal .
  19. Looks like we got something too on the cameras..It’s still pretty wintery out considering what happened yesterday…no where near the pack eraser last year around this time… Vs last year… .
  20. Def doesn't compare to last years pre Christmas washout. I think most ski resorts survived fairly well considering the amount of rain. Lots of good snowmaking temps ahead, so barring a repeat of yesterday showing up, the holiday week should be vastly improved over last year.
  21. Over to snow now and pack still alive..icy weekend ahead out on the slopes, but 2-4 before this shuts off would go a long way. .
  22. You: three paragraphs of explanation and facts on why the pattern will be hot, cold, dry, wet, snowy, rainy or whatever. Him: rip and post the warmest snapshot he can find in another regions forum with some passive aggressive comment. You’re both degreed meteorologist. No comparison…but moving on… .
  23. I couldn’t imagine being that miserable in life that he takes joy in trying to bring down others. There’s a difference between being a dose of reality to snow weenies, and just popping in here every once in a while to be a douche. .
