  1. Awesome Christmas vibe tonight
  2. In the meantime, great ski day
  3. 1.5” here, 3” at the stake. Resort reporting 3” but that’s not surprising with a little extra elevation
  4. That's definitely true - usually "events" are blah for us, then the excitement starts when the upslope follows. That said, Bretton Woods still manages to have the best snow quality of any Northeast resort I've tried hands down, so I'd rather ski on good snow after 3" then ice after 10"...
  5. Yeah I’m a bit puzzled as well. I just noticed that Littleton went from 1-2” to 6-8”, and we want from the 4-6 zone to the 8-12. We just have some very light snow and the temperature is not budging, so things need to change pretty dramatically to get there. Of course there’s the upslope but that’s not going to give Littleton more than 1”, and doubtful it would be more than 4-6 for us.
  6. Nothing happening here aside from some light flurries. Bring me the upslope, this is annoying me already... Really cool gradient though with the heavy stuff earlier. Barely accumulated (and then melted) in the valley, but when it stopped you could see the condos roofs brown for the bottom condos, semi-white in the middle, and plastered white for the top ones -- all this within less than 200 ft of elevation change. Not sure I remember ever seeing such a strong gradient right at valley floor.
  7. It is ripping! Huge flakes. Still a bit warm at 33.4 but dropping steadily
  8. All snow here, lighter and wet at the base, heavier and sticking to everything at the top
  9. Flakes falling but pretty toasty, 35/32. Feels damp and cold though
  10. I had the same experience with Geico. Started with a great rate, then a year later it exploded for no reason
  11. Saw a good one in Iceland. There it’s almost a nightly event, but just like it here, it’s cloudy A LOT
  12. The ice cave was at Vatnajökull, near the ice lagoon. We did a good tour and tried the fermented shark - it’s absolutely foul (but you only eat a tiny little nugget and wash it down with a shot. It’s like eating ammonia). I did try horse and puffin, much to my kids dismay, both good. Met this cute little guy today. People have been feeding him so he’s quite friendly
  13. Lodging wasn’t too crazy. Food is definitely on the expensive side but not crazy - and I’m sure you can also find some cheaper options than what we have been going for.
  14. 4-5 days is definitely a good amount of time. Flights are pretty reasonable. Food is pricey but to be expected in such a remote place
  15. We are on a guided tour with Hidden Iceland. The ice tour was Local Guides (that’s the actual company name)
  16. Snow just started here. An inch would certainly be nice for opening day tomorrow
  17. I love volcanoes too. Saw Yellowstone,Craters of the Moon, Stromboli (erupting), and Hawaii this year. We’ve kinda made it a year of the “volcano travel” so Iceland seemed like a good ending.
  18. I’m headed to Iceland next week and they just shut down the blue lagoon because of a possible imminent eruption. Not sure if I’m disappointed or excited lol
  19. 25 with some very light snow and a dusting on the ground
  20. Still a dusting left in shaded areas from last night. Not bad for early novie
  21. First legit snow tonight, big flakes accumulating easily. 31/17
