  1. Gonna continue to be rough for a few more days. Not dropping below freezing at elevation at night in NNE mountains is not good at all. But after today it looks like no sun for days and days and rain doesn’t seem as likely. Both the Euro and and the GFs bring snow in different ways late this week. I have some faith in a good mid March to end of season up north. SNE I think you will see resorts closing very soon even if they get snow late in the week.
  2. Hopefully a bit of wet snow up high. 18z GFS is rain to snow and then days and days up there for later next week.
  3. Euro could be on to something for the ski resorts up north. Honestly for me that is all that matters right now. Bike and ski season at the same time is always great! Just gotta avoid days of rain and mud down in the valley.
  4. Feels like deep winter this evening despite no snow cover. Probably the coldest day until December or 2025. New puppy has lost his mind at the sound of the wind at least 5 times on our walk.
  5. It has sniffed out a couple events here and there. Seems better than the euro as of late.
  6. Ole man winter has broken both his hips and was punched in the face several times. I think it’s time for a nap.
  7. Yeah pretty bad around here up into SVT for snow. Up around Magic there is probably around 8-10” of “pack.” My memory is a bit foggy but this does reminds me of 2009-10 here. That season was saved by the 3’ elevation bomb late February. We need one of those badly! The next winter was pretty sweet so I have some sort of hope for what’s coming.
  8. Good to see the quad going at Magic tomorrow, it’s been a long time. I was there yesterday and they were running it on and off all day testing. Not 2’ like up north sadly. The skiing was super “sporty” and very dangerous. Ice, rocks, roots, dirt and water bars skiing all on very thin cover. I personally love the challenge. Light, quick feet, jumping through rock gardens and landing (very small) airs on to ice! Both me and some how my skis survived unscathed.
  9. Enso states and MJO progression aside. We will get a few days in late February of warmth and The masses rejoice that spring is here and boom! Last year comes to mind, 2018, 2017, 2020 if it wasn’t for covid. This doesn’t apply to coastal dwellers I suppose.
  10. Saturday looking a little disjointed on the GFS. Was hoping to see it make a move towards the positive. Still plenty of time.
  11. I’d like a repeat of December 2019. Almost 2’ around here. I’d like to skip the blow torch two weeks later though.
  12. Pretty sad. Only around 6-8” of snow but the winter appeal is there none the less. This is on the western side of the Berkshires, on the Florida/North Adams line.
  13. I’ve always been a boob man! 40 spot here that storm last year.
  14. Pretty deep winter look across the crest of Berkshires still. I’ll snap a picture tomorrow. Such a huge difference from the valley up to over 1500’. I’m not saying it’s been a good winter by any stretch, we’re way behind in seasonal snowfall.
  15. 2 hour delays up here. Roads are slick. Wish I knew how to sleep in.
  16. Pretty light here in Hadley. Heading home and up the Berkshire East this afternoon. Supposed to pick up as the day goes along.
  17. Mount Snow was great yesterday. They have a ton open including some natural offerings. Groomers skied very well. I never waited more than a minute in a lift line despite it starting to feel real busy around 9:30. Coldest morning I’ve skied in so far this season, around -2 up top with a decent amount of wind. I’d say despite the rain and warm weather all things considered they are pretty close to what it would normally be mid Jan.
  18. Hot and heavy this afternoon at Berkshire East. Several inches quickly with heavy winds. The resort lost power about 3:30 and never came back on.
  19. Berkshire East was mobbed today. I got a few runs of fresh tracks before the place blew up around 10am. People are excited about skiing that is for sure.
  20. I don’t get my rocks off from wind and infrastructure destruction. Everyone has their fetish! Euro starting to look even better for NVT staying mostly frozen. Need a nice base building event.
  21. Don’t like looking past this weekends storm but man does next weeks storm seem like a tipping point for winter at least out here up into Vermont. I’ve seen 2011 mentioned, maybe take that and move it north a tad. Big January no doubt that year. Haven’t really had a big January since.(we missed out on big Jan 2015 storm) I don’t expect much right here due to our lower elevation but drive 30 mins in several directions as Hippy knows and it’s a completely different world.
  22. I’m not much of a picture taker but here are a few from Bolton Valley this past weekend. Sad about all the rain we got! Hopefully things can recover sooner than later. New lift at Berkshire East supposed to go online tomorrow! Skiing was really good today, nice smooth manmade groomers.
