00z GFS continues good trend for Thursday/Friday’s storm.

CMC a step in the wrong direction. Takes the storm up through Ohio.

00z GFS slowly trending in the right direction for the D6/D7 storm. Hopefully they continue.

GFS has a rain storm for most of New England on D8/D9 but then tees up a massive interior hit on D10/11. All with a grain of salt, of course.

The "extrapolated NAM" (famous last words, LOL) looks like it would be OTS with the 1/22 event.

.5-.75” down on cold surfaces here in the 10005. Hasn’t mixed yet.

Wet aggregates here in the 10005. Looks like it’s about to flip. Maybe .75” on car windshields?

Makes sense-Agree that Main St is less disruptive to the general public's skiing experience than Hayride.

Is there no longer any racing on Hayride? I know you mentioned that it's the only remaining trail that hasn't seen snow guns, which surprised me, since I thought it often hosts races. I like that trail quite a bit, especially in the spring. What's the rationale on blowing, say, Gulch (a relatively obscure bump run) over a wide trail like Hayride?

Tested positive for COVID this afternoon after testing negative in the morning. The only difference-I swabbed my throat in the afternoon.

Attitash GM resigns. Hopefully new leadership can turn it around… Really does have some fun terrain when it’s fully open and has good natural snow.

Skied Shawnee Peak tonight for a couple of hours. Very solid base with probably 4” of snow on top. Was fun… Lots of yahoos out there though.

No that photo is from Utah Avalanche Center on a peak between PCMR and Big Cottonwood. Kind of “behind” 9990.

Do you have the total precip maps for the entire event?

Looks like the pattern changes just in time for my 1/22-1/30 trip to Idaho. That would suck to ski in 50 degree weather out there while watching it pound snow out here (after been its the exact opposite the last month).

Where are the record highs for Dover, NH? Looks like garden variety above normal..

Crotched should be ashamed of itself-as I mentioned-I skied Pats (their biggest competitor) last week and it had deep coverage all over the mountain and was seemingly well-staffed.

Yeah-Can’t speak to the bump runs so much, but they have 3-4 trails on the “main face” that are pretty steep for ~400-500 vertical.

Skied Pats Peak this afternoon for a couple hours... Pretty icy with a layer of granular sugar on top, but still had fun. The amount of snow they have blown (especially given their southern location) is incredible. Deep, deep base depths on all open trails (they're about 60% open) with the guns roaring on the trails that are still closed. Very impressed-hadn't skied there since 2013 (and probably won't again for awhile-I just had a Indy Pass ticket so there was no incremental cost), but what a great showing they're putting on.

Not sure I’d say that-Tomorrow should be a net gain for the Whites and Maine, and that storm mid-late next week looks like a mixed bag at worst right now. Looks tough for southern VT, I’ll grant you that.

That would be BN (three straight days under 40) for PYM so it's not a surprise to see that.

Very glad to be team Indy Pass this week. Skiing Cannon and Pats Peak this week, both of which have far more terrain open than their Vail competitors, WildTash and Crotched (I was Epic last year).

In SNE, looks like BDL and PVD will finish BN. BOS should get there by a hair too. Will be close at ORH.

Going to be a while before that happens. Even IAH goes below freezing almost every winter.
