I used to live in Washington for a while! I don't think you are understanding what I am saying. The Cascades don't go right into the ocean.

Love the white right against the coast. Besides the Olympics it usually doesn't snow that much in those mountains. Like being in Alaska or BC.

Should be a decent offering. Chief top to bottom, lower comp and outback. Likely upper mohawk by Thursday. Not bad considering they just started making snow for real yesterday.

My friend is at Stratton now and says it's glorious spring skiing. No base left in the woods though but 6-10" of meat would greatly help that situation. I'm arranging my schedule to head there on Monday.

Those two mountains could use a really meaty snowfall with some sleet mixed in. I’d assume they have zero base left even up high.

Jay Is straight up awesome! Woods are pretty game on. Thinking about tomorrow makes me sad.

Jay Peak for me tomorrow and Saturday. Tomorrow looks pretty decent all things considered. They have some natural trails and glades open. Saturday is a different story. Little bit of rain skiing and probably some IPAs!

12/2010 seemed similar to me across the whole lower 48. Not sure about the mild up next week. But midwest snows and sierras getting crushed happened that month as well. Im sure it's not the same overall pattern at all but it just feels similar.

I’ve actually never skied Granite Gorge. I had a student pass there my first year getting my masters. I never used it once at the actual hill because the lift broke. I used several of the freedom pass days. Weird fact. Lift hasn’t opened in several years.

They may open next weekend if they survive the warmth and rain Monday. Pretty late start for them but I guess getting the new snowmaking equipment up and running took some time.

Just leaving Stratton. Whatever they got blew around everywhere. I’m sure killington is the same way.

I'll be there! Looks like they may be getting some natural tomorrow and some heavy wet snow on Monday.

Please make this happen! Not too confident looking at the the 0z and 12z vs 6z and 18z. But maybe this trend at 18z will continue.

Going to be interesting how Thanksgiving weekend shakes down. I don't care about snow or snowmaking weather in my hood but up north it would be nice to see places open Wednesday and Thursday next week. Monday looks not so nice for the fresh made snow. Hopefully it is a light rain.

I'd take the 0z GFS vs the 6z GFS for the places I'll be skiing next week. EURO... I'm running and hiding.

What a nice couple days. Did a quick 4 mile ride at the Warfield house in Charlemont before dark yesterday. Pretty glorious. Now today is even nicer! Much better than the typical November misery.

Killington was super fun yesterday. It was all as expected but it wasn’t terrible.

Looks like there should be some snowmaking effort put out in the next 10 days or so. Killington is making snow now, I'd bet sunday river is too. Curious if other follow suit.

I just saw this! I wonder if they will offer 5 days on the Ikon pass this season. I love Shawnee Peak.

Gotta love fast grass!

My favorite thread! Now that I’ve come out of my summer hibernation it’s time to talk about sliding on snow. Day one and two already in the books for me. Garbage weather, limited snow and lack of local knowledge(friend bailed) led me to Bagley Lakes in the North Cascades. Did get a couple days of solid 300-400 vert turns which for a New Englander in August felt like 10k vert. Rained a lot of my two days up there so I didn’t get to see Mount Baker or much of the incredible mountains in the area but I got some great shots of Shuksan one evening. Next year I’m thinking of lift assisted turns on mount hood may be more my style as I wade into my 40’s. Not an option this year for me as Timberline closed 8/15. I’ll try to post some picture here

I was in the North Cascades during Henri. I was relieved to hear it wasn’t so bad at home.
