  1. HRRR looking at least slightly intriguing for a light refresh in the northern Greens tomorrow. Here's to hoping!
  2. Sweet vantage. Is that bear peak and south ridge chair?
  3. Absolutely love it for the resorts and local communities. Personally, I'll be sticking to the BC this weekend and next. Hopefully next Friday delivers.
  4. Seeing some flakes finally in Cambridgeport. At this point rooting for a coating that melts away ASAP.
  5. Got out into the Bolton BC on Saturday for my first tour ever in that area. Lots of terrain to be had! We skinned up to Stowe View and then dropped into the Cotton Brook area via Paradise Descent. More of a cut trail than a glade run for the first several hundred vertical feet before it opened up more as the terrain first steepened, then mellowed out. The real fun was had on the south facing aspect of the ridge that separates the Cotton Brook basin from Nebraska Valley. Lots of great ski terrain there that wasn't too steep and the 2-3" that J Spin mentioned skied well on top of a light crust. We were tempted to drop the other side of the ridge into Nebraska Valley for a nice long descent but were running out of time. After skiing the southern aspect back down to the Cotton Brook basin we skinned up to the Catamount trail and made our way back to the Bolton base area via some glades off of Gardiner's Lane. All in all a great day!
  6. So awesome, that's what its all about. I miss Sundown, some really fun trails there for a small hill.
  7. Welp, that didn't progress as planned...
  8. I'll be up this weekend and have a cool tour planned in the Bolton/Nebraska area. The base certainly seems to be substantial enough for good skiing, so here's to hoping we get the LE to at least make most pitches enjoyable.
  9. Looks to be coming down hard on the Sugarbush webcams but radar imagine is inconspicuous. Is there a correlation between the type of radar tilt utilized and what can be displayed from a particular pulse of moisture?
  10. These storms aren't exactly an ideal scenario for immediate skiing enjoyment but do wonders for the base/tree skiing as we head into the meat of the season. Looking forward to a carbon copy this weekend. Throw some orographic snow on top and we're in business.
  11. Mt Watatic ended up with close to a settled foot by the time I got there yesterday AM. Just about the bare minimum there. Thankfully it isn't too steep and 108 underfoot helped. Not sure there will be anything left after these next two...
  12. Just came thru Cambridgeport. Ground white in minutes. Dumping.
