  1. The valley is massive if you look at it from one of the higher points in the area. Grandparents had a house in halifax, vt you could literally look down on the entire valley all the way to the Holyoke Range. It's huge! It was a massive lake at one time.
  2. I was a peaks pass holder for a season when I was working up in that area. I skied Wildcat probably 25 times that year. I have never found it to be very busy, I did ski mostly midweek but I don't think the weekends ever get too crazy up there. Wildcat doesn't fit into Vail's business model. They don't have the greatest bar/restaurant and they aren't super high volume. Mount Snow, Hunter and Attitash are the prizes for Vail in that peaks deal.
  3. Nice to see that jackpot spot near Berkshire East. They got more snow than Mount Snow which is generally rare. Mount Snow is only reporting 4".
  4. Berkshire East skied very well yesterday. Got out for a skin at 7am, went back for powder turns in the woods at 11 and then chopped up groomers last night.
  5. Berkshire East reporting 6". I'd say that is pretty spot on. Skiing was nice both last night and early this morning. Better today once the fresh snow bonded with the ice underneath.
  6. I want to say 4-5" here but I haven't really measured it. It did ski incredibly nice regardless!
  7. I like what the Euro is showing for Savoy/Florida up into Searsburg/Woodford.
  8. Yes I read that on the ski runners facebook page. I'll bring a saw, maybe i can help out a little. I'd think there are a lot of trees down on the skin track as well. I may just go for it.
  9. I dislike posting on facebook groups and having people tell me I can't ski places because they don't want me wrecking their spot. That being said, anyone here think the Thunderbolt is skiable right now? I'd think it would be above 1500'.
  10. I love Cannon. I can say though I have never been there when it has been fully game on. It like another Indy pass legend, Magic, suffers from the great terrain but limited snow scenario. Cannon does have a great snowmaking system, they can cover a lot of the mountain in manmade if you are into that sort of thing. I have skied there when most of the trees have been skiable and the lower mountain woods are very fun, upper are very tight and steep. Cannon is also home to one of the gnarliest trails in the east, DJ's Tramline. I have not had the chance to ski it but I've heard good things. I had a pass at Wildcat for a season when I lived up there and I can say they get a lot more snow. Wildcat has some super fun terrain and tons and tons of great stashes!
  11. February is a lame month for snow the last several years out here at least.
  12. UK looks good for this area. Local ski hill is very close to full game on. Nice meat and potatoes Friday night helps cover the rocks.
  13. Lanesborough. About 45 mins from my house. 112, 116 and then some side roads.
  14. Deep winter up in Savoy on my drive though this morning.
  15. Having skied at prospect mountain and areas around Woodford I can say that area gets legit snowfall. Woodford will usually exceed Mount Snow’s snowfall totals. Mount Snow is only about 10 miles to the east. I’ve heard the high areas of mount Glastonbury get extremely deep snow pack.
  16. Sloppy inch here. Berkshire East saying 4” some folks have said 6-8” above 1200’. I got one child still sleeping the other is shredding the gnar!
  17. Sneaky spot for this one is Dutch Hill. PowderBeard knows what I'm talking about. May almost be skiable when all is said and done.
  18. This next storm should help Wildcat's snowmaking problems!
  19. Just read that when I searched for the storm on google! That may have been the greatest winter ever! The early February storm was very impressive as well!
  20. Maybe Saturday can work out for out here. A couple inches is better than nothing.
  21. I'll take my chances with a SWFE as well. Some of our biggest storms here are from SWFE's.
  22. If work wasn't a factor, Maine teachers don't get paid well. Rangeley, ME is a great spot. Big lakes for summer, great skiing in the winter. Great snowpack retention.
