    No one bothers heading out if its blowing 15mph straight from the north or south. There are 4-5 footers with 25-30 mph. Christmas will probably look something like this. What a difference a week makes. Replace weenie kuchera maps with weenie wind maps.

    Yea I would be worried about SVT and NY. Throw 2" of rain on feet of snow, streets will be flooded out. The Susquehanna around Binghamton and the West River of SVT will be in trouble. Luckily there should not be much ice up there yet. Deerfield, Westfield, and Housie should be pretty high as well.

    Right? They haven't even opened the Flyer or any woods this year. MRG has only had the Practice Slope open. No Castlerock at Sugarbush or Madonna at Smuggs. When is the last time that happened in a December? Wildcat is essentially one way down from the summit. They all typically get close to 100% open for a weekend or two before a melt-down at the end of the month.

    2" new. 20.25" for the season.

    A nice 2". I wish we could get one of these winter mood deals a week.

    Afternoon football and evening skiing.

    Very nice moderate snow. Feels like winter.

    There is one stump towards skier's left on Jug that gets me and made me a Marker binding fan. Twice I smoked it, ski got stuck, and released. And that was on a front DIN of 11, lucky both times. I ski on the right side now lol.

    They have been all over the place. First it was 2', then 3', then 4', then 30", then 38", now back to 4', depends which of their social media pages you look at. Either way, an awesome start. The 40+ at Okemo was too much for them. Lines were epically long with only 1 lift running most of Thursday, lots of pissed off pass holders and ticket buyers.

    Can see this being the most irritating grinch of all since it is 2020. Tomorrow some models start to shift east, give us a glimmer of saving snowpack and maybe add a little, then back to big winds and rain to take it all away 00z Tuesday.

    Is BEast trail report legit? I know you and many others mentioned skiing just about everything but this morning they had 7 trails open. They have always had that issue though lol

    Can he be sent back before the grinch comes?

    Got it, thanks. Did you get to Catamount? Kind of curious about those new trails. I remember Off Stage being a pretty fun little bump run to finish off your legs. Reminded me of these. I was probably 12 in these pics, was after a 2-3' dump in the early 2000s. Some amazing memories with @MBRI Off Stage In the process of sliding 100' down Catapult and ending at the old fence that was at the top of Catamount Chair.

    No substitutions please. If you want spare ribs you must order the #37 as well.

    Is this the back past the zip lines? Did that once before. Was unaware of the walk back down E and East Hawley Rds.

    Got in the range today after reading the Thunderbolt Runner's FB page this morning. About 10-12" of coverage, did 2 laps down some intermediate open trees and once trip down a switchback fire road. Both are pretty rock and room/stump free. Forgot how hard it was trekking up in fresh. Been cold enough it is still super soft. If there are any Kinco's fans, their new "ski glove" is way too warm. I'll stick to my others until it's about -50 lol

    Well schools might be out...

    Oh that is fantastic to hear. Was bummed to see those reports from Greylock area. Might have to give it a go ASAP.

    Ragged has a weird uphill policy if I remember correctly. Like 8:30am-2:30pm.
  21. PowderBeard
    Crotched has a great uphill policy - or at least they used to. West Ledges probably are not ready but the stuff past Jupiter's and some of the old east trails are probably G2G. Easy skin up too.
  22. PowderBeard
    Yea multiple reports from the Berks. My "fats" are 115 and the lowest I can surf on is about 8-10" of heavy wet on bare ground, not super steep, and with some minor bottoming. I wouldn't even attempt 15" of blower on bare ground. Good way to end your season early or destroy them.
  23. PowderBeard
    That is exactly what I was thinking. Can't get enough speed. Heck the Ski the East guys got stuck in 38" of snow on some of the "flat" sections of Black Line at Magic.
  24. PowderBeard
    Bummer there is no base. Even on the Thunderbolt it is bottoming out every turn. Happy the SVT areas got what they needed. Should compact down nicely.

    Yea we had about 4-5" of snow around 4:30 when I woke up, looked at the radar saw the banding way north and knew it. "Shadow banding" as Sipprell once described it to me on one of our road trips skiing. Grabbed another 3-4" between 8:30-10:30 and that was all she wrote. Storm was fun to track and learned a ton.
