My itch to ski again is growing. Been over a decade since I’ve done downhill, not really prepared to right now but want to keep that itch going and growing. Biggest hurdles are ticket prices and gear, both of which are not in budget.

I took a decade off 35 to 45. Started out slow.  1st time  back using rental skis I was shitting my pants heading up the Barker lift. Like riding a bike all the muscle memory still there .it was on like donkey Kong after that. Check FB Marketplace for deals. If yout budget is limited look for midweek deals. Go go go while you ca. Don't be a procrastinator .You won't believe how fast you go from 50 to 70. Get it while you can Bobby Bobalina.

Great article on the new Burke 

A new ownership group has worked to restore Vermont's Burke Mountain into a top ski resort in the region. https://www.telegram.com/story/sports/columns/2025/12/03/snow-sports-after-years-of-neglect-new-owners-have-rescued-burke-mountain/87557725007/

You know what we should have done like 10-15 years ago. Got a group and rented a cabin or something in the middle of nowhere during a major snowstorm. Just imagine how fun that would have been  

LES chase stay in Montague NY cabin stuck for a week. Wiz gets cabin fever and decides to fully transform into Miley Cyrus for good.  Kevin goes out for a run, found a week later frozen in a 10 foot pile swept up by a front loader but had a smile frozen forever.  Scooter discovers the frozen bodies Mitch had not yet buried piled up in the cellar and goes berserk usable to deal with it. Will, Ray, Garth, Hunchie, Wolfie and I devise a plan to get out when another 4 feet falls and we are all stranded with no food or communication. Will we survive?  and who eats who? Lol that's the rest of the story...

What kind of adaptive skiing do you do?  I started teaching adaptive skiing at Jiminy Peak last year.  It's amazing the variety of options out there to get almost anyone who wants to ski out there!

You rock! I work with traumatic brain injury clients and am looking into getting one of my clients into adaptive skiing this year.

Yes that was me. Skied standing up until March of 2022. Just too weak currently to ski standing up. Been doing adaptive skiing at Ski Sundown for 2 years.

 

Did alot of skiing with my son. He's taken up skiing again and will be with me on December 27th. 

Dude you are awesome.  Such grit and determination.  God bless you. Yea I was at B-east with you all.i miss skiing so so much unfortunately one fall could paralyze me so even adaptive is out. Good for you man.

Maybe something near 13th too. Seems like some people woke up hung over.

A Cowboys loss can effect one.

AI slowly coming around later next week. Might be something to watch. Sunday night was a GFS joke.

13th target date. I do not like having suppression depression during Christmas season.

Just now, CoastalWx said:

11.8 and still falling. A breeze too. Man cold. 

Look at the regional temp map, so easy to see who has snow and who doesn't.

I hopped off the plane at BTV
With a dream and my Reindeer cardigan
Welcome to the land of snow excess (whoa)
Am I gonna fit in?
Jumped in the Sube, here I am for the first time
Look to my right, and I see the Hardwick sign
This is all so crazy
Everybody seems so mapley

My tummy's turning and I'm feeling kinda sick
Too much artisan cheese and I'm nervous
That's when the taxi man turned on the radio
And a Noah Kahan song was on
And a Noah Kahan song was on
And a Noah Kahan song was on

So, I put my hands up
They're playing my song, the butterflies fly away
I'm nodding my head like, yeah
Moving my hips like, yeah
I got my hands up, they're playing my song
They know I'm gonna be okay
Yeah, it's a party in the N.E.K.
Yeah, it's a party in the N.E.K.

 

Get to the lodge in my subaru
Everybody's looking at me now
Like, "Who's that chick that's rocking kicks?
She gotta be from out of town"
So hard with my girls not around me
It's definitely not a flatland party
'Cause all I see are boots
I guess I never got the memo

My tummy's turning and I'm feeling kinda homesick
Too much craft beer and I'm nervous
That's when the DJ dropped my favorite tune
And a Phish song was on
And a Phish song was on
And a Phish song was on

So, I put my hands up
They're playing my song, the butterflies fly away
I'm nodding my head like, yeah
Moving my hips like, yeah
I got my hands up, they're playing my song
They know I'm gonna be okay
Yeah, it's a party in the N.E.K.

Yeah, it's a party in the N.E.K.

Lol nice. Reminds me of my first foray into the NEK crowd as a late teen. Feeling nervous and an outsider lasted for maybe 10 mins, when Gimme Shelter kicked in, and I smelled the aroma of sweet bud I knew that place was for me.

Did someone mention about snow showers tomorrow? Wouldn't be surprised to see some heavier snow showers move through, probably mainly up to about 91 though and far NW CT, as well as SNH into NE MA

Yes that's a powerful Arctic front

That jet is going to be absolutely cranking 

It's not an awful look either around mid-month...window may be small but there is certainly some chance

Getting anything to phase in that will be difficult but you could feasibly have a shot to get some PV interaction and before you know it, you have a good signal for cyclogenesis in our hood. 

Really a nice couple inches would be nice. How much did you get? Are you still in West Hartford?

I went back starting at the 12z run on 11/27..and the Euro actually was pretty close with the track. However, thermals and storm intensity, especially between 11/28-11/30 were way off.  Not sure why it would do well with the track and suck at everything else. Going to be a fun winter. 

What blew my mind with the Euro was how it ignored the mid layer heater.  But what also never happens is a deep low passing way south and east not closing off 7h 8h and allowing warmth to blow so far inland. 

Great call by Scooter.  Tip of the Yankee cap
