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.

Played Sunday River Golf Course yesterday. Truly a wonderful experience. I did not play well and it was insanely hot but I really enjoyed it. Voted tops in Maine and top 100 in the USA public course. The views are incredible!

Perfect week for the last few days of school! Well done mother nature, well done!

Too hot to go outside for PE today, the gym isn't much better. Has a tropical jungle feel to it.

Was super stoked for a game under the lights Memorial day weekend when our little league schedule came out back in April...... ugh. We are hearty and are still playing though!

RIP James. Loved reading his posts and reading the reactions. There was never a threat for the cape he didn’t sniff out.

Walked 18 at Ellinwood in Athol, MA yesterday. Nice old course. Fairways aren't great but the greens are pretty nice. Very tight challenging course with an interesting 6 par 3, 5 par 5, par 71 layout.
