it's just because you're overstimulated and full of spunk ... Get a GF

Agree with this sentiment.

This picture is going to give me nightmares. Instead of giving a class presentation naked I'm going to find myself in this line never advancing  like I'm in an Escher print.

  This is going to be Gore this weekend, especially since the flatlands are getting some snow.  Do you want this, or better snowmaking?  

Actually, I hope the flatlands get snow to bring the masses of humanity out, but there isn't enough snow to open anything so you see how important snowmaking is to all ec mountains.

I don't know why I try but... why not go ski McCauley or Snow Ridge this weekend and leave that shit show to the masses?

Even with slow lifts you could probably get more vert, and on better snow than you would at an overcrowded resort with lots of terrain, but no snow.

Anyway those resorts would LOVE your business and you save Gore for when they actually have stuff open, like glades.

Seems like a no-brainer to me... but... I won't even do that.  I'll be poking around in the woods with zero crowds, very little vert, and excellent snow.

see you there!

excellent I'll have my own patch of woods and hopefully a foot of fresh, with only a friend to enjoy it with.

If that bullet proof base is still there (and the GHL webcam indicates it is), and there is 6 inches on top, I'll be in our woods too.  I guess I'm in a hybrid phrase. If Gore is OK I'll hit it for a couple hours, but look forward to getting back to tracking up the yellow trail.  Those wet spots on the red should be frozen up by now too.

Look at this picture from K-Mart over Christmas Week.

I would rather go bowling than be part of that.

Hmmm

1-5 called for  late tonight depending on where you are.

Then it looks like there is a coastal in the GFS at the end of next week?



Longer term looks to be warmer?

the gfs has been advertising a big coastal event for the big i95 cities, for sat and sunday..
then a big warm up in 2 weeks

i don't believe any of it that far out

Here it is:

Sugarbush.  Or Wachusset.

Lets not jinx this!!!
It is too good to be true..when things are too good to be true ...well they tend to be......

I like the Euro and last night it showed nothing but the latest 5 and 6 day models are showing the potential.  I am afraid to get excited yet but the Euro has been the best model for a while now.  When it went left and the GFS went right early last week my heart sank but I think we got lucky with the altitude this weekend.  Positive vibes for next weekend....we need it!

The NW Dacks might have a problem..But Laszlo might have a smile..

Forecasts I'm seeing don't have this coastal event doing anything for the North Country.  Maps and models are all over the place.....

Hopefully 5-8 in Vernon, NJ.  Mountain Creek is going to be packed this weekend.  We can make our own snow (unlike some places further north), but need real snow to get everyone to actually ski.

it will take 48hrs to pin this event down.. way!! to premature to give amounts yet

I'd rather watch life time movies than deal with that hot mess!!  

Blue Knob looks like the place to be on this map
