ski MRG Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 lol at Pete and Ginx...such delicate flowers that can't bear to talk about warmth so much they have to start their own winter circle jerk thread. No, we're just not drama Queens that get all flustered by the prospect of a couple days of above freezing temps in the midst of a fantastic Winter. If we touch 60 in the next 7 days I'm going to be soooooo excited!!! Spring Fever! Disgusting, revolting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Temp has risen 18 degrees past 90 minutes with southerly flow. Ice fog overnight had everything glistening with ice this morning, including roads/ deck/ trees/ etc. Still hanging on to about a foot of water-laden, walk on top-of, snowpack. Groton New London bridge was closed for a while due to multiple accidents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF are you talking about, we are discussing the day to day joys of this winter so far, to characterize it as a circle jerk is sad. Trolls r us even pro mets . The sled run is ice fast, the skiing in the north is the best in years, ice skating on cleared lakes everywhere, ice fishing, snowmobiling, just perfect. Nick perhaps Bermuda is where you really belong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SNOW SHOWERS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN ADIRONDACKS OF NEW YORK...THE CHAMPLAIN VALLEY...AND THE REMAINDER OF VERMONT THROUGH 600 PM TONIGHT. THE MOST CONCENTRATED AREA OF SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL SECTIONS OF VERMONT. SOME OF THE SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE INTENSE...REDUCING VISIBILITIES TO A QUARTER OF A MILE AND PRODUCING UP TO AN INCH OF SNOW. HOWEVER...THE DURATION OF THESE INTENSE SNOW SHOWERS WILL ONLY BE IN THE 15 MINUTE RANGE BEFORE MOVING EASTWARD. NEVERTHELESS... THESE SNOW SHOWERS COULD HAVE AN IMPACT ON TRAVEL CONDITIONS...USE CAUTION WHEN TRAVELING THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Happy to say Ginx, currently SN+, just a decent squall but it's full on Winter right now. I think we get totally smoked in the coming weeks. Measurable snowfall everyday but one so far in February up here. I'm with you on the full-on-winter right now... very squally weather today up here; just finished a squall that put down a half inch in 20 minutes, then the sun came out, and now its snowing again. Skiing up this way is the best its been since the spring of 2007 when 12 feet of snow fell in 2 months. 40" in the last 10 days on Mansfield/Stowe for a nice average of 4" per day... 4 feet so far in February. Snowpack between 6-7 feet on the upper mountain with no ice or crust layer throughout the entire thing. This is a western winter so far... just snow on top of snow on top of more snow. Check out some of the pics in the NNE thread. Today was my first non-ski day in like 3 weeks... its been so good lately that it is hard to describe in words. Here's a photo of me, last run of the day on Thursday. Nothing like face-shot powder at 3:30pm; gotta love mid-week skiing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Where is the skier in the photo? I'll be hitting the mountain in a couple hours... You folks getting good crowds? Yeah, weekend crowds have been strong... mid-week, its like your own private ski resort. I tell anyone that comes up here that if you can do it on a mid-week day, you're experience will be so much better than if you're here with everyone else on a Saturday. Never any lift lines Monday-Friday (empty chairs and gondola cabins going uphill most of the time), and that means the powder lasts forever! I'm glad WaWa is having a good season, too... all the snow has been great for business up here and I'm sure its the same all over New England. Stowe's on pace to have a record or near-record year in terms of revenue and skier visits... and its all thanks to the big winter in the SNE cities from NYC to BOS. There's a direct correlation between Boston snowfall and skier visits up here, and this year we've been having a great snow winter so far with no thaw... couple that with record snows in the population centers and the ski industry is having a fantastic season. I would assume towns that focus on snowmobiling are also doing very well. And as far as deep snow goes, here's a picture from January 16th when we again picked up around 40" of fluff in a week. This snow was so deep you almost couldn't really ski it because you couldn't see where you were going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'lll be at MRG tues/wed, the only skiing I do is on the weekends with my 5yo at the B'east. Otherwise, just mid-week. I'd rather work Sat and ski Wednesday. Snowhoed up/ skied down Thunderbolt with a friend today, pretty phemonenal. We had scouted it in the fall and saw that it was being pruned and spruced up. That lack of any freeze thaw cycle whatsoever has gone a long way to creating such stellar conditions. Basically the worst surface you encounter is windslabbed snow, oh the horror. Easy to get spoiled. Glad to hear Stowe is having a strong year, I know MRG is doing well after a shakey start. Looking forward to several more months of skiing. I love the second half of the season because by then you're in top shape and some of the best snow of the year awaits. My friend has finally skied his way back to Alaska but is saying he's jealous of our snow, of all things. Some how I think he'll get the last laugh in June when he's still on the snow and we're on the tee.lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
