2.75” snow picking back up again. Temp up to 27. I’m headed to bed so won’t know what the total will be before the flip but maybe 3.5-4” not out of question. That’s a win and it was a beautiful day out there regardless of what tomorrow brings.

really nice snowy day here. Basically been snowing since I woke up. Skiing was great. Temp is steady at 25 degrees. Will take some work to scour that cold air out so hopefully we can delay the flip for longer than modeled.

Nam regressing as feared but HRRR still pressing the cold into the CP. trying to recall which model has handled things better inside 24hrs this season

trys to get most of the precip in before the changover even for my area. i keep thinking this thing is closer than it is, still time for this to change 48 hrs out.

Good point and I think euro led the globals on that as well

I’m always skeptical of the strength of the cold air on the coastal plain. Sell that for now

That’s a good forecast at this lead. Wouldn’t be surprised if that verifies.

This has had that CAD look for a while now

They will all thump on the front end, maybe even net gain

Quiet in here. NAM has been fairly consistent with the thermals on this and here in CAD land I’m hopeful for a 2-4” thump before the flip. Maybe we net gain even down here, best we can hope for.

Ya that’s going to be great when it opens. Bridgton is on the map these days. Tap house is fun too. Seems like there’s enough southern Maine/NH forum members at this point to do a gtg out this way

was surprised to wake up to the plow going by and about an inch of fluff. We don’t normally get in on the fake snow fun. I’m in bethel now for work and there’s been a band just rotting overhead for at least an hour. Very wintry vibe despite lack of real pack.

Ok so you’ve seen it in its heyday. I’m right in town. This can be a good weenie spot for snow as you know, but it’s been a few years and we are due.

Hadn’t heard about the summit lodge, they are extremely limited it terms of space at the summit. The jordan chair is already on site in storage. No doubt they will invest elsewhere and have some room for trail expansion and real estate development off the west side if they want to do that. As a local I can tell you there’s a lot of excitement about the name change and to see what boyne will do, especially since they are a known quantity with SR up the road. The ability for them to print money with night skiing is real and boyne knows how to do this already at Brighton

Wildcat and attitash no. That’s why everyone goes to Cranmore and Bretton woods.

Jay could really use a snowmaking upgrade like you say. I’ve experienced the Jay cloud, but have also experienced a frozen, windy chunk of ice. Snowmaking is one thing Boyne does right, all their Maine mountains do an above average job with above average infrastructure but also benefit from great water sources.

The new fixed mount fan guns are expensive but incredible technology. Pleasant has invested significantly over the last 4 years in them and was able to resurface all their high traffic terrain over the past 24 hours and they are blowing a ton of snow elsewhere to get things open for MLK. Doesn’t hurt having unlimited water from the lake right next door. These are the years where resorts with the best systems really shine. Today felt like a real mid winter day. Trending next weekend into 4-6” gain would help a ton.

on like 1" qpf no less. When I was out there last spring all my local buds were complaining how they haven't had a real wasatch snow year in years, saying it might be over forever, CC has ruined the lightest snow on earth etc. etc. Actually sounded a lot like the this subforum for the past month.

This latest cutter might do it for me. Will reassess after the long weekend but I have a strong hunch I will be out west before the month is over....what a nightmare. It will stay warm and wet right through Feb vacation and then start dumping once the average consumer loses interest, now that's how you run a ski season on the east coast....

hoping for some last minute trends but not looking good. Hard to fathom another 2" rainstorm and right before MLK to boot.

Trend next week into a 5:1 paster and just shut the power off in Maine for rest of winter.

Sunset at pleasant mountain .

2” and still a snowing. This one is over performing my expectations. Winter vibe is back for snow. Skiing is bad but at least it’s white. .

It's great to see. It's been a really long time since the mountain west has gone this bananas. Hope we can get in on the fun at some point.

They're going to lose at least a month of their riding season the way it looks right now. I don't even know why the local clubs bother down here anymore. They are constantly losing access, putting in hours and hours of work for riding seasons that are lasting a month at best. The last club meeting I went to was 90% gray hair. The sport is dying down here. Still some hope for next weekend but no end in sight to AN temps.
