springtime next to a vast 45 degree ocean is always a treat....
-
"paid attendance" vs actual fannies in seats--a vastly different number sometimes!
-
I go out west with my dad he still skis at 75-but to take my family out there...you'd be looking at $7500 even if you went with basic housing-not sure how most afford that. No one pays it anymore but the day pass at Breck is $240 lol. Makes everyone buy the Epic pass...
-
agreed but like i said the gains are in the Rockies-New England is flat and I'd counter southern NE smaller areas like Mohawk in CT can't be doing that well the last 10 yrs given the overall warmth. I'd be curious to see how they did this year with the cold Jan/Feb. I went March 1st with my son, but conditions rapidly deteriorated after that weekend with the cutters...

Rocky Mountains show the biggest gains-everywhere else is flat at best-I do a trip out there every year-breck, vail, keystone-incredible but very expensive with housing, pass food transportation but I enjoy it.
-
Is that true nationally or locally in New England? I've always heard numbers have slowly declined over the years... Despite advancements like snowmaking technology and efforts to adapt to unpredictable weather conditions, the ski industry is experiencing a gradual decrease in visitors since 2004, leading to the closure of over 45 ski resorts in the past two decades. https://myskilessons.com/popularity-of-skiing/

Cost is somewhat prohibitive however. I know some folks (more casual skiers who tend to rent and not buy season passes) who have said they either gave it up or just go once or twice now. Also agree on the youth sports aspect-both of my sons play and by mid March practices are in full swing. Alot of that goes back to the earlier DST switch-can have practices later in the day etc.

More virtual snow....
-
NNE does fine most years. My comments are more directed at the smaller places in CT/western MA etc Hoping to use my EPIC pass in VT one weekday before it all ends -I go out west every year and 6 days there makes sense to buy a season pass
-
Not this year but generally speaking it has been warm the last 8-10 yrs-the dry weather actually helped this year to preserve the good conditions-a cutter or two is a disaster in any month.
-
Very brown here too-we are usually mowing by mid April-might be delayed this year unless we keep torching.
-
It has gotten shorter for sure...also feel like DST moving up to the 2nd week of March in 2007 also did damage as people move onto to spring activities once that occurs. I would think the local CT places had their last ski weekend this past weekend....was a good solid 2 months this year, but yeah the front and back end have shortened with the warming climate especially in SNE and if it were not for the investment in snowmaking alot of places would be long gone.
-
about an inch here-definitely overdone.
-
south winds-so we are capped given the water temps-60 here as well
-
60 here-feels humid
-
Warm front through here 55
-
up to 55 fog just disappeared as the front came through
-
And when that article say the northeast it doesn't mean the coast. And generally just means crappy cloudy and cool/damp weather for most of us her...pass And then, watch April, there may be some setbacks where we have some really cool periods and maybe even a little bit of snow, across the interior especially.”
-
Models wetter for tonight/tomorrow-NAM and RGEM 2 inches in spots especially east of the city
-
Stuck in the muck all day here-mid 40's and low cloud deck-at least the mist and drizzle stopped around 11am
-
the question is where does that swath of heavy rain form? If it's east it's less than .50 for most
-
18z NAM is wet

Pretty dead here too-some daffodils popping up but that's about it. Next week's torch should bring things out a bit... -
Yep-the NAM is always good at that stuff as well as finding the sneaky mid level warmth that's always further north than expected...but we'd gladly take this storm in any month lately (let alone March) given the lack of anything decent over the last 3-4 yrs
-
Yep-48 hrs it looked great and then the usual N and W creep started. Locally we got about 8-9 inches then sleet so was a decent storm but not the 12-18 predicted.
