Yeah I like that part of it! Anticipating ski season too. But weather wise those months suck. Like hippy says 11/15-12/15 suck!

I’m not a big November or December guy. Windy, chilly, spitting rain, cloudy and dark. April can have some real nice days. It was pretty nice middle of last April. Though I don’t live near the coast. 65 here Tuesday!

Had to make some quick choices yesterday. Decided on Mount Snow vs Magic purely based on driving time with the roads being pure garbage in the morning. Mount Snow’s mid to lower angle trees skied divine on 100+ mm waisted skis. We continued to find fresh tracks throughout the day. The foot plus of surfy skied pretty bottomless bedsides a few areas where the wind got to it. Everyone ran to the north face and it left the front of the mountain basically untouched. Snow even near the base stayed dry enough. My son made their instagram page! I will say despite not having much in the way of steeps Mount Snow has been a fun time this season especially the last few weeks. The trees are fun and for me that is what I care about. My middle aged body doesn’t need the gnar all the time anymore. I enjoy skiing Mach ten through open woods airing off little hits more than I like butt pucker gnarly lines and cliffs these days.

Snow isn’t really making it up to Mount Bohemia. Rough winter for the upper Midwest. They closed a few weeks ago. 26-39” might have got them back open.

Everyone in this house is all done skiing apparently. The eye rolls I got when even mentioning snow and skiing.

I’d like to see the snowfall numbers for Washington and Katahdin this winter. Not that much can be measured up high.

I’m pretty hopeful for Southern Vermont on this one. Let it rip! No sleet!

Berkshire East still going strong! Skipped over some better options up north for local turns Saturday with good friends, sunshine, and parking lot smash burgers. Can’t beat it! Skinned up this afternoon and I will say there is still plenty of mounds, race starts, loading areas they can destroy moving enough snow around to get another day or two out of it.

GFS crushes the whites and western Maine Maine. Still snowing at Saddleback Friday evening.

I don’t think this thing is dynamic enough to cancel school. It is April. Wednesday maybe if it’s mostly sleet and ice. Thursday is probably a delay for a lot of schools. Roads clean up quick this time of year!

Watching this closely. Waiting for that white unicorn for 6 years now. The one day I have a snow day and my kids don’t. My district tucked up in the nw corner of mass has had zero snow days this school year. My kids have had a few but they are down in the valley.

Looks pretty nice for at least a few days after the next rain storm. I hope the mountains can have some spring skiing in actual spring.

It’s gonna pour next week. I’m just hoping for more snow in the mountains.

GFS continues to be reasonable. NAM is doing NAM things. Seems like the rain is more east though which is good, well for us western New England folks.

I made a quick trip today to Mount Snow. Legs were still a bit cooked from the weekend but I managed just fine. Skiing was pretty good. Weather was not so good. Cloudy, spitting rain and breezy. Groomers were very nice, natural was good where it had been skied but very manky in some of the off map stuff. Couldn’t stay too long because I had to go to work, but I felt satisfied none the less.
