  1. Legit 2-3" per hour stuff, better than the squalls last weekend.
  2. Someone opened a pillow in front of a fan, massive flakes. 3.5" so far.
  3. Still browsing. Think we might rent the first year just to figure out where we want to be. Oh yea, looking forward to hitting Thompson and others. I'm getting bored of drop-shotting 30-50' and staring at a screen from June-October in the Quabbin anyway. After 5 years of light spinning gear and 6lbs line getting back into flipping grass and fishing fast last July-November with heavy rods and big braid was too much fun.
  4. Pretty excited to be spending more time in this thread. Found out on Friday I will be working in Lewiston/Augusta starting in July. My wife and I are pretty excited for more snow in winter and not living in a swamp come summer.
  5. LOL, you and Mount Snow are about even for the season. I think they are still below 60".
  6. Have you found "Kitty Litter" or "The Litter Box" yet? lol
  7. If a skier is tired or not going into the bump and absorbing it with their legs and core then knee injuries and soreness is an issue. I did about 8 solid bump runs yesterday and don't notice my knees at all but it feels like I did a few hundred sit-ups and squats today lol. The knee injury concerns in my head are more about the DIN setting. It's a balancing act between pre-releasing or saving a knee. I keep the DIN on my bump/hard pack skis relatively low (10) and if I release it is because I have lost some control and am hot-dogging it, rather just release and save my knees. I have my DIN higher on my powder skis because I'd rather not release out of them because chances are that is a recipe for a head/neck injury and I would rather a knee injury. Would love to hear other views on this. Hit Magic yesterday and the bumps and some of the woods (e.g., east side stuff) were fun and could get a good edge in. Did a few laps with the Freeride Team on Broomstick - Black Line and lower sections of Red Line. Pretty amazing to watch 6-10 year-olds just flying through bumps and throwing 360s off rocks and ledges. Got to love Magic! This is a pic Kinderspeil my buddy took, "a beginner trail." Pretty good spacing so you could really zip them.
  8. Not sure but lots of places are already done selling for the weekend. MRG posted they were sold out of tickets for Sat and Sunday last night and asked people to carpool because of parking issues.
  9. Woke to see even UMass closed. I think it's the first day of regular classes they have cancelled since December 2019.
  10. I'm surprised given all the previous discussion of how well the NAM does with thermals there is not much stock being placed in it. Any specific reason for it being tossed aside or is it the frozen precip model output confirmation bias in this thread?
  11. I'm hoping for skiing on cream cheese at Berkie on Friday.
  12. Rookie question, I was thinking the old 50-70 miles from modeled for bands but with the +NAO there is nothing to "slow the flow" and push it NW?
  13. Yup, edited my previous post. I'm still on the edge of 8-12 and 12-18. I'd love to see another 4-8" this afternoon but doubt it.
  14. Yea, a big pivot in. Similar to what happened out here December 2018 is all I can think of. I'm on the edge of their 8-12" and 18-24" (no 12-18" zone?) and I'm looking at 4.5" currently. Edit: I cant read and suck with crayons, zone is there.
  15. Gives me hope for possibly moving down there next year lol On the edge of it now, really picking up. About 1" per hour type sand.
  16. Forgot the sarcasm font lol. Was a fun place to work though.
  17. The size of the bands is surprising, usually don't see a them greater than the width of the entire state.
  18. Worked there for a few years after high-school. The amount of warm gas expelled creates the RI screw zone.
  19. The two bands coming together right over northern RI. Awesome to see on radar. Where is @MBRI?
  20. I hope my post last night is 100% wrong and you get 3-4" an hour.
