How does it look for the follow-up Thursday/Friday system?

I actually don’t day trade. I was just helping out with the brokerage question. That said, it’s hard to say if you should cut your losses or not. The whole marijuana sector was down today, so it wasn’t $SNDL specific... Which would lead me to suggest that you wait for another bounce up before unloading it. That said-marijuana valuations are so frothy right now that who knows if the memeist of them of them all ($SNDL) will post a new high anytime soon. FWIW, my two most recent purchases are PHM and BMBL (bought at $71 a bit before the market closed today). I see home builders as being great bets over the next 24 months and PHM has an attractive PEG. As for BMBL, they just IPO’ed but it has room to run to the upside with reopening and people starting to date again. I think they have opportunity to steal market share from their chief competitor, MTCH.

Skiing Magic on Sunday so fingers majorly crossed.

12z GFS doesn't have much precipitation for SNE and is essentially a snow showers/upslope event in VT. 12z ICON looks like 2-4 regionwide.

Isn’t this kind of the same in the South though? For example, I’ve heard of people skiing at Snowshoe have situations where it’s been snowing at the peak (where the lodge is also located) but be raining at the bottom of the lifts.

I wouldn’t be so sure about zero interest rates for the next couple years. The fed hasn’t officially ruled out raising rates in late 2021 (though I think they’re unlikely) but I think it’s fair to say that rate hikes should be every investors base case in calendar year 2022. Will they still be low by historical standards-yes, most likely.. But above the current baseline? Yes, most likely.

Yup! TD Ameritrade should also have an order type called "stop limit" which can protect you against the "gapping" issue I described. See this YouTube video.

Not sure what brokerage you use but this is traditionally known as a "stop loss" order. You set a price and the stock automatically sells if the price crosses that threshold. Though, if it gaps down to that price on the open, you will get whatever price it opens at (instead of your stop loss price).

Temperature departures through the 1st third of the month... It's felt cold (here in NYC too)... But really hasn't been too bad. A bit colder relative to normal the further south you go, but I consider +/- 1 "normal." BOS: +0.6 BDL: -0.1 PVD: +0,6 ORH: +1.5 BDR: +0.3 ISP: -0.7 NYC: -0.9 EWR: -1.2

GFS OTS for the Saturday night/Sunday morning storm.

Yup-I'm an Epic Passholder but I'm staying the hell away from Hunter/Mt Snow/Okemo/etc this weekend. Always have wanted to try Platty so hopefully can catch it prime.

Making plans to ski Plattekill on Sunday... Hoping that it's far enough north/high enough elevation to avoid any mix.

That's total seasonal snowfall. Not current depth.

The NH state income tax ain’t bad either ;).

Left UES at about 9:20 heading west to ski the afternoon at Jack Frost. Was snowing big aggregates and accumulated on my hair as I walked the ten blocks to my car. Was pounding snow in Morristown area... lots of cars off the road. Now out by Hopatcong and intensity has lessened but still steady. Tough to say how much accumulation here from the highway.

Interesting that Anchorage is BN this year. Just down the road in Girdwood/Alyeska they’ve been getting smoked. 113” of snow at mid mountain (~1500’) and 150” at the summit.

It’s funny seeing a report for “East Acton.” I’ve heard South Acton before (near the commuter rail station), North Acton (NARA Park), and west Acton before... But East Acton? I guess it’s the piece near the Concord rotary.

I made a comment on here a few weeks ago that it never seemed like Concord jacked when I was a kid... This might be the storm! Jealous!

My friend at 6600’ in Truckee. I’m pretty sure there’s a sedan buried behind the SUV.

Gunsight at Alta this morning.. Alta has plenty of snow to have a great time but certainly thinner than when I’ve skied there in the past. Bonus photo of Lavell Edwards with Mt Timponogas (sp?) in background. My 52nd FBS CFB stadium visited (games at about 30 of them). Ironically, never been to my childhood state U’s stadium (UMass).

Low tide but can find some spots here and there at Snowbasin today.

Just boarded my flight at DFW for SLC. They’re slammed in the Wasatch after what’s been an anemic start to season... Out here for the next 9 days. Going to ski 5, and “WFH” Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday.

When you say the “front face,” are you referring to the trails off the Zoomer lift (often called the “Front Five”) or are you referring to trails off the top like Profile, Ravine, etc? I typically find that the Zoomer chair is pretty wind protected whereas a trail like Profile makes Cannon live up to its icy reputation.

Mid to late April is a pretty good guess though by the end of April you likely will not be able to ski the Sherburne trail to the parking lot... But they close it in sections, so you still might be able ski down to, say, 2500ft and have a shorter hike out. Typically, the full complement of lines in the bowl are available throughout April. Alternatively, in a good snow year, you can wait till mid-late May, drive up the Auto Road, ski in the snowfields near the summit, then down climb and still have some pretty good snow in the Bowl (typically left gully and sluice are two of the longer lasting runs).

IMO one town that I think has some decent "value" in between 128 and 495 is Maynard. A really great downtown with a number of restaurants, a brewery, and some local retail... Middling schools but definitely fine for elementary and middle. Only downside is lack of access to the highway (even route 2 can be a pain to access through Concord/Acton).
