I haven't been on here in awhile, but my father has been sick and just passed away today.

Light snow here in my part of Enfield. Changed to snow around 2am. Never seen snowfall in May outside of Vermont and Colorado. Currently 34F. -

All ski areas in Switzerland are closed for the season.

Mohawk Mountain is closed for the season due to Corona Virus. That's it for skiing in Connecticut.
-
Posted in the Corona Virus thread, but Berkshire East and Catamount are closed due to the virus threat.
-
Ski Sundown is closed for the season. They lost too much snow over the last few days to reopen this weekend.
-
Sundown is losing cover fast. I hit rocks skiing there last Tuesday and Saturday was an icy unpleasant mess. They are currently closed and might reopen on Friday, but I doubt it.
-
I skied there in January of 1998, just before they closed.

Saddleback put in an order for a HSQ chair to replace the Rangely Double Chair with Dopplemayer.

Nice day today at Mount Snow with packed powder and machine groomed. Comfortable temperatures in the upper 20's and lower 30's. The mountain is in good shape for the crowds on Presidents Week,

I skied at Mohawk Mountain today with my son. Beautiful bluebird sunshine with the temperature right around 32F. Suprisingly snowmaking was ongoing all day long on unopened trails. It was a mix of groomed granular and some packed powder on Wildwood which had snowmaking on it last night.

It looks like Saddleback got the loan needed to reopen: https://www.boston.com/news/skiing/2020/01/27/heres-the-latest-on-saddleback-mountain-in-maine

I skied in Summer ski camp in Europe in July of 1985. I skied at Stubai, Austria, Zermatt, Switzerland, Tignes, France and ValSenales, Italy. Currently the only area still offering skiing all Summer is Zermatt. The other areas don't have enough snow cover remaining on their glacier's past August 1st to allow for skiing all Summer. Global warming might be increasing the precipitation, but Summer snow levels are higher, with rain falling on glacial ice.

I like that place, but I'm having a hard time with the carpet on the quad. I can't maintain my balance when loading the lift. I'm going to get in a few days at Sundown, strengthen my legs and try skiing there again in Late January.

Freewheeler yesterday at Butternut, untracked groomer and nobody on the trail:
-
Flying Cloud, Mini Dole and UMass aren't opened. Can't say I remember those runs being closed in January. If you know the dates you are skiing, BE offers discounts for advanced purchase. Use their calendar to reload you're RFID card.
-
I skied at Butternut today with my son. It was firm but edgeable groomer. The area received quite a bit of freezing rain earlier in the week. It wasn't really crowded with minimal waiting at lifts.
-
I'm skiing with my son on Thursday either at Butternut or Catamount. Should be pretty looking skiing with all the freezing rain that area received.
-
The buyers of Saddleback need to raise four million dollars to close the deal by late January. Two million by December 16th, and another two million dollars by late January. Color me sceptical. https://wgme.com/news/local/saddleback-buyers-seek-2-million-before-sale-deadline?fbclid=IwAR2Trt5rzQyirpXkhkZbPLQKl4lUXvzWxtAqqvhLKI2-RLde34FrvGyJG0Q

For the CT folks, Mohawk Mountain is opening on Saturday. One TTB run and Nutmeg. $30 lift tickets for skiing from 8:30 - 4:00. Not all that common for a November opening at Mohawk.
-
I was at the ski expo on Thursday. The Western Massachusetts ski area's don't come to the show because their market is Hartford/Springfield/Albany.
