    Snowmaking trails will be fine. Naturals wiped out.

    Total shit show at Sunapee today Too many people for the lift/trail capacity when chairs are only going up half full... the sun bowl quad is having issues too.. vail=fail

    I’m skiing with my uncle and cousin tomorrow at Sunapee. They are both once per year skiers so I figured it would be better to get out before the rain hits (plus I have vacation days to burn). Using Epic buddy passes for them, it was $69/ticket for the full-day, which I guess isn’t terrible. In the process of planning a late January Crested Butte trip... Colorado snow hasn’t been great early season but figured CB has lower skier density which should help preserve conditions and plus, I like the more “Texas” vibe there compared to the I-70 rat race. That said, MTN isn’t deriving much ancillary revenue from me or my friend that I’m going out with-We’re both epic pass holders and aren’t staying slopeside... AirBnB in town.

    Still some pretty major timing differences between GFS and GGEM. GFS has the front through (eastern areas) by 9AM on Friday yet the GGEM hangs it back until Friday night.

    18z GFS slightly slower with the front, but still through Eastern areas at 10-11z Friday.
  6. bch2014
    GFS has the precip through by ~6-7 AM Friday morning.

    18z GFS looks quite grinchy. Low over Toronto.

    -3° on my car thermometer in the Greenfield area as I head to Okemo.

    MTB trails at the old ski area in Northfield, NH might not be a bad bet. Unsure what their uphill policy is.

    Sounds like it’s just the beginner terrain that is open.. there’s not much steep there in the first place.. but if it’s just the beginner lift, it’s even worse.

    I have a reservation to ski Okemo on Saturday... Never have I ever wanted to “miss” the powder day, but hoping that things are a little bit skied out on the natural snow trails so you don’t get stuck!

    Wind driven -SN... Looking south on east river at FDR and 81st.

    15 mins ago on UES.

    Borderline S/S+ here in NYC. Tough to tell how much given how the wind is whipping/lack of non-paved surface but probably 2-3” so far.
  15. bch2014
    Starting to get a dusting on the street here on the UES. Not snowing too hard though.
  16. bch2014
    No flakes yet on the UES.

    Feeling cautiously optimistic here in the E 80’s.. Wouldn’t surprise me if I get a bit of taint mid-storm but I think 8-12” is the responsible call here.

    I do not have great memories from Boxing Day. As I recall, we were forecasted at 16-24" and ended up with about 9.

    Just switched my Epic reservation from Wildcat to Okemo for Saturday. Obviously storm will be skied out by then but looks like they are in line for maybe 5-8"... Wildcat's early season snowmaking has been pathetic compared to more southern resorts... Heck, even resorts like Cannon which isn't exactly the snowmaking capital of the northeast has managed far better.

    Hunter looks like it could be a good place to ski later this week...

    One thing that I think Mt. Snow does do very well at considering its southern location is retention, especially on the North Face. Lots of those trails hold snow forever-They're also generally pretty narrow so don't get as windblown as some of the stuff at Killington.

    LOL, yes-The famous hinterlands of Worcester, Lowell, Nashua, and Manchester! Nowhere to stop!

    Biggest expense for me with skiing this year is gas/depreciation on car... The closest places worth skiing from where I live are ~125-135 miles driving one way. In my Jeep Grand Cherokee, that's $25-30 in gas per visit which exceeds my cost/day on the Epic Pass assuming I ski 25-30 days.

    I have Spectrum for cable and internet. I’m one of the few millennials who hasn’t cut the cord but when you price out internet + YouTubeTV (need live sports) + Netflix (though to be fair, i bootleg off someone’s account)+whatever else, it’s MAYBE $10-15 dollars more per month. Worth it for the convenience factor for me.

    North face is empty, main face pretty busy. Fellow skier going nuts in line on Bluebird lift threatening to check the IDs of fellow skiers to make sure they’re from VT. Uh, under what authority sir.. To be clear, not a Vail employee and 99.8% of people are totally cool here. But there’s always one!
