Yea. Ive become numb to it. The 80s were bad but without the internet, we weren’t checking models multiple times a day to see when it would turn around. So you just expected suck and was pleasantly surprised when TWC put up an advisory for 2-4”. And If we do manage someday a model to spit out 2-4” at D6, it’s going to be a wild and anxious ride for it to pan out.

After this multi day rainer departs The Next 3 systems give snow weenies the trifecta shaft. Too late, too suppressed, cutter.

I’m optimistic we can snap back like Feb/Mar 13 after the 11/12 ratter. Not sure if the telecons align similarly though…

Until then, enjoy the snowy trails and snowy times in Caribou.

Do not make Wolfie ambush us from his den today please. Lets be safe.

Yes we know there were bad winters even back when the colonizers were colonizing but that doesn’t make the industrial revolution inconsequential.

The neighborhood wolf just woke up…

Where is Scooter’s gorilla?

Yea I’m only giving a perspective from just a couple lenses. We only went in good/great conditions and ideally not during peak traffic days. If it was a weekend with long lines, we usually map out the day to get the most runs in by skiing a low traffic area while the gondola/main peak lifts are backed up. We would ski those high traffic areas real early, lunchtime, and late. It all comes down to value, just imo. I’d rather get a couple less turns in bomb conditions with the entire mtn open then a few more in terrible conditions on a 3/4 closed mtn. Making the drive and committing to the insane costs thesedays, we don’t want to pull up to a NNE mtn that looks/feels like Northern Georgia.

Yes. Exactly the same. For folks down here who make a ski trip to NNE once or twice a year, we’re not doing it for a 1/4 open mountain of sugar coated trails while dodging bare ground and boulders, especially at full price. Locals/season passers, a completely different view. I get that.

You know we’re slowly sliding towards another ratter when us SNE folk are debating NNE resort business decisions.

I get the warm weather and less crowds take though. That may be what some look for but most skiers I know list conditions as their top priority.

Pay reg prices for maybe a 1/4 of the mountain open is not a good deal imo.

Yea. I don’t know what the business decision is to keep the ticket price that high though in these conditions.

Lol I would never pay that on these conditions. I doubt anyone but the most hardcore skiers would.

Looks like what you typically see in the poconos.

Yup. The further we push into Jan without much to show for…we’ll need a biggie or two just to get us back on track to normal.

If we don’t get going in early Jan and the can gets kicked to late month.

Yup…especially after wasting two months.

I hedge bigger and sporadic then smaller and frequent.

This could be a season of a couple large events but otherwise nada.

Did Dick Toleris pull back from his big winter call that fast?
