    January 15-16 2023 Storm Potential

    in New England

    Whately in a great spot per radar. Must be snowing hard. I like to track Google maps traffic to gauge intensity, must really be coming down in this band. 
    My house is in between greenfield and the vt border, looks like it just moved out of the heavier echos. The band is drifting south. Greenfield is in it now and I expect to be in the meat of it in about a half hour.

    The 2022 - 2023 Ski Season Thread

    I don't generally talk about personal stuff on AmWx but I love and miss contributing to the ski forum.  In March 2021, I was at Berkshire East and my kid ran into me, getting off the quad and tore my ACL.  I knew at the time, something was ripped and assumed ACL.  I got the full mountain rescue sled ride down. 
    It took about a week to get an MRI and my ACL assessment was correct but I also had hairline fractured my femur and tibia.  Since I had already walked around on them for a week,  the orthopedist said there was nothing else to do but use crutches, start PT at that point and go talk to a sports surgeon.   The orthopedic surgeon basically talked me out of ACL replacement because of all the complications that nobody likes to discuss. That's a story for another post.
    The long and short of it is that I have barely done anything on skis since March of 2021.  There is a brace I am getting fitted for that will allow me to ski but certainly not woods or moguls.  I am just looking forward to getting back out on the slopes with my kid at the end of the month or early February.  I would have been back out sooner but I decided I was not diligent enough with certain rehab exercises and wanted to get fitted for the right brace. 
    Anyway, that's my story and I am determined to get back on the slopes this year, even if I am just doing Green trails. 
    Damn, that sucks. Sorry to hear! Berkshire east took my acl too. I've only had about maybe 10 days on the snow in the past 3 years. Sucks. 3x last year. Zero so far this year. My gig there has ended, (long story, didn't really leave on good terms) so not sure if/ when I'll ever go back. On some level it makes me sad, I loved that place, and the Schaeffer's are good people.

    Yeah it was pounding all the way down to the valley until about 8 PM.
    1” here.   31/27   -SN.  
    The roads are absolute grease right now according to my Greenfield DPW neighbor.  
    Rain in Whately, transition in Greenfield, snizzle in Bernardston. 91 was being treated. My road is snow covered and it's just starting to rain. Also about an inch, although it's about to be vaporized.

    They blew whales to allow the rain to run off.  
    Hard to get into the woods at beast before Christmas.  2007 and 2008.  2013 I believe had a nice storm mid month I remember skiing in the woods.  2010 had a big one up north not sure about Berkshire east.  2019 and 2020 smoked by cutters.  
    Yup. They've known just as long as we have that this upcoming storm is gonna suck, so why ruin it all. No doubt they'll push the piles out, track them up, then groom then out. It'll be hard and fast, but they'll come out ahead.

    Nice.  We had one like that a couple of weeks ago.  Our superintendent played in it as well.  My suggestion for next year was to have him change the hole positions on his second time around (we are a 9-hole course). 
    Yeah, our guy played in it too. Some of the stuff they did was hilarious. ... since it was a vet's day tourney, it starts at 11:11am and they make it 11 holes, with the practice greens played as holes. Here's one where they used their huge leaf blower.

    Last round of the year was our annual veteran's day tourney. It's evolved into a "greenskeeper's revenge," and its typically on the last day that they're open.

    Scramble format. While it's sad that it's always the last round, it's one I look forward to every year. 5f088733a8e3d2cf45a1a6c645c5f40d.jpga7da40df00488b06847ffa56fc91db85.jpg674fe746eb166e22c43252643a971f04.jpg641b4578547cb189dde5f1977c8ee747.jpg

    After the first frost delay of the year, got in a quick 9.

    Finished bogey, bogey, double for a 39. Was going for better, but alas. ... it's why I'm not on the tour.
