    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Those models did well that central Mass snow hole. That doughnut was showing up 4-5 days ago. 8" of fun here, I see NWS Box has a 15" spot for @HIPPYVALLEY area. Awesome stuff.

    Use that push-rod 4 liters of fury and blow through! If it's not, you'll see it in the spring!

    Still nuking, little edge won't leave.

    Cote's video of "driving a boat" was amazing.
  15. PowderBeard
    Oh it's awesome. When you get a couple good wind gusts it will be there within 10 min.
  16. PowderBeard
    Good gusts now, welcoming in this band.

    I didn't drink doubles until I moved to the Valley. Just done better here. They are the only beers I drink other than the occasional High Life or Silver Bullet after playing hockey. I do wish more came in 12oz cans, 16oz is a little much to get down at 9am during a 7-9 minute chairlift ride.

    Not peer reviewed but appeared to have some sources. I'm not 100% confident in all my terms and lingo to dive into primary sources yet. http://www.theweatherprediction.com/weatherpapers/023/

    Mets, read an article today that terrain has no impact on banding because it does not provide enough lift. Is this over simplified or hold true in events such as these?
  21. PowderBeard
    Yea I am thinking that as well but more of a gut thing, not sure why. Think I'm to used to the NW pattern with thunderstorms.
  22. PowderBeard
    Our kiddo's first real storm being able to run around. I can't wait.
  23. PowderBeard
    Awesome lol. Let the good times roll.

    This year they really cleaned out the Hollows. Previous years it was creating "Voodoo." Some volunteer days they basically made entire new areas that, luckily, still are not on the map - I believe "Narnia" was a volunteer glade but could be mistaken. Since the east side is one massive glade now the west side needs some love. Only 5/6 real unmarked areas there that are named.
