    K sounds pretty rough too, damn. I'd want to get away from there. There are so many other places that have little drama and are all about loving being on the mountain or outside.. My home mountain has nothing of the sort in terms of toxicity, and its almost closed multiple times or had little/no snowmaking or running lifts in previous years lol

    You have more than that up there (e.g., that stunning old portrait of Patrick Swayze in the woods lol).

    Any out will be a bonus day. It may never start or end at anytime.

    There was a large barbed wire fence ~15 years ago to the left of the summit double. Then my buddy had his pants sliced open while skiing Carter Glades probably 7-8 years ago. I know the ski area boundary is old barbed wire on skiers left side of the area. There is/were also several old electric wire fences for keeping livestock and sap lines scattered around the woods of the lower mountain. It gives a new meaning to "hidden obstacles."

    That is a sweet place to be in terms of NH skiing. Don't know if I would ever leave Wildcat or Black Mountain. Anyone know if the woods of Black Mountain are still loaded with barbed wire?

    Yup. And Tip, it's easier for a weather simpleton like me to see patterns like model bias (e.g., Euro over does warmth in the 5-7 day ranges and has a tendency to develop winter systems further west 3-4 days out) than conduct double secret probation ensemble math. Anyway, nice cool week to start the month. I still wouldn't be surprised to see BDL finish with 40 or even 41 days at 90*, always a few hot ones in September.

    Amazing how much thatch can come out of a 2000 square foot lawn that was straight dirt this time last year. Been cutting shorter and shorter, down to less than 1". After detatching last night I have a 40' long pile 12-18" high of debris....and cannot feel my shoulders or back.

    Idk how they will enforce it but the county sherrifs were pulling over lots of out of state plates in the spring. Not sure if you've hit it but Platty is pretty amazing and cheap option as well. Probably averages more snow than Gore and definitely better conditions than Whiteface. Their elevation saves them and their marked and unmarked terrain is pretty special.

    Yea must be short supply. Oil is so cheap, just topped off for $1.49 a gallon. I believe a cord of decent hard wood btu wise only equates to about 120 gallons of oil.

    1804 redux in-coming.

    Euro really backed down next week. Was a fun summer.

    This dude is pumped for winter... https://westernmass.craigslist.org/grd/d/hinsdale-seasoned-firewood/7180524369.html

    About .5" and temp dropping to 61*. Torched and steined again.

    I checked out some videos of Bousquet after Berkshire East acquired it. Their upper liftline looks like the most technical skiing in Mass with big rocks and ledges. Wouldn't mind returning to Catamount after 15 years. Always a fun steep hill.

    Not sure, luckily there are plenty of spots within 90 minutes and a quite a few in the Berks that get a lot of snow given VT's quarantine procedures.

    Trying to do reservations is going to be a mess. Lots of skinning for us this winter. Makes it easier with the baby as well.
  17. PowderBeard
    Yup, definitely got some 30 mph or so. Power flickered while teaching on zoom.
  18. PowderBeard
    66* and heavy rain.
  19. PowderBeard
    Yea that is very apparent. I thought it was not modeled to really push north for 3-4 more hours though.
  20. PowderBeard
    Clearing has started and the sun is coming through. Burptown waits...
  21. PowderBeard
    Been watching that too. Many times the morning of we see things back down a bit in terms of potential. Just ride it out.
  22. PowderBeard
    Not as isolated either. Only certainty is we either see a lot of "DAMAGE" or "stein" posts tomorrow.
  23. PowderBeard
    Live on the edge. Drive up to the Canaan area and hike up Bear Mt.

    Lawn is still green despite minimal watering and being less than a year old. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

    Bag of Jonathan Green came in yesterday for the overseed this weekend. Excited to start!
