DID YOU GUYS HEAR THAT THERE'S A HUGE NOR'EASTER COMING AND IT'S A BOMBOGENESIS THING AND WE ARE GOING TO GET FOUR FEET OF SNOW???????

Attachment 437975

truly excellent and legit pow end-of-day yesterday at local hill.
hit snooze for an hour, woke up 2.5hrs later:eek:...decided nonethelesss to see what snow might fall to much reward.

initial response on first very blustery ride up was that i'd made the wrong call. dust on crust around 1pm, but the snow piled up fast and kept falling.

to make it an even better day ran into gonnif, who'd wisely sat out a bit, having arrived late in day as well.

last 2 hrs were joyful with ice nearly all gone.
storm skiing is fun!
and looks like more to come...

Stratton was very good on Friday and maybe better today?

Legit 3" (sad how that sounds great, eh?) fell yesterday, mostly after the lifts closed. They didn't pummel the Spruce Trail and it was scary...3" of fluff on top of scraped smooth hockey rink ice. Goniff took a bad tumble on it and broke his glasses. He needs to go get checked for a concussion.

Other trails skied nice and got even better when the fog cleared out and you could see where the soft snow was.

Was there with my next door neighbor who admitted that he actually has a TGR account and goes by Lane Meyer. MMP made an appearance as did slatham who was technically "working" from the Ursa Chair.

Going back for more tomorrow. As Vt-F (and buckethead) is prone to say, skiing is fun!

Ha yes technically a long "coffee" break, just without the coffee. But it did wake me up! Wish I could have skied with you and the crew but I had 2 more quick runs and out. It was fun (except maybe Spruce).

Eyes on Friday, may Ullr bring the goods.....

Will you be at Stratton Thursday? Who's skiing where Thursday? Think i'll do Tuesday/Wednesday at Sunday River then heading Southwest from there (not to Taos)

First pow post of the season. Way to get it, bucket!

I can pretty much ski anywhere west of Maine on Thursday although would rather not burn one of my 5 Killington days. Cannon/Loon are a stretch; I can make it happen but is it worth the drive? The resorts of SoVT are all actually pretty good right now.

Early season is a good time to get your balance dialed through the turn. Ice will reveal your slop.


Charles, wish I could join in at Sunday River. Maybe anothervtskibum pops up. He chases racer kids around the hill

And it’s looking like Maine could be the place this weekend. Hoping to see lots of pink in the snow map

Oh and the gaspesie is going to get hammered. 29” at the mines through tomorrow with another 20” in the forecast by the end of the next week. If anyone wants to know the shortcut for a day trip into Xalibu message me. Obviously going to be a bit before avy conditions settle

what about the shortcut to take 4-5 hours off the drive?

That’s when you have a friend with a plane

^^^ My theme song for this Friday’s travels leaving the cold rain of the Coast to the snow of Saddleback. Hope those chilly winds don’t blow too hard.

Wot's an "avy?"

A Davy that’s lost his d!<}

I will be at Sunday River tomorrow and Thursday (and most days), but I probably will mostly be standing on the side of a race training venue and not making actual turns. I'll be headed up to Sugarloaf to stand on the side of the race venue there on Friday, looks like the drive should be lovely.

Yep...I've been skiing with my boots in walk mode a lot (not on purpose...d'oh!) and it teaches how to be neutral and centered.

Stratton was pretty good again today. At about 1:00pm they lit off a ton of snow guns...looked a bit like Supahstah at times. First day on my new sticks (Dyanstar M-Pro 99 that I got from Ptex1) and loving that factory edge on the loud pow.

I’m slated to help the race crew Friday, see you there then

Posting so I can find this thread easily.

Also thinking about a day trip Saturday or Sunday. Or both.

I think Saturday is going to be a shit show. Backyard effect in Boston. Snow forecast. But it will be 6-12 on top of WROD. or dirt.
And I will be right there with the rest of the idiots.

Most accurate forecast I've read yet.

At least the frost is in the dirt. Giddy up

Boom goes the bomb

Saturday does have shit show potential, especially if windy. But for core of ski country, I’m taking the over on 6-12”. This is a game changer, terrain opening storm for some/many.

road and ski area shitshow.
watch out for the gaper drivers all!

Catskill crew, who currently has a decent base to take advantage of this for Friday skiing? Haven't made it up yet , was curious who is likely to drop ropes and have more than the crowded WROD open.

No 4Runner until Sunday, maybe the Gondola this weekend. Lookout Double sounds like a StoweStorm™ is brewing.

Yeah, I know it's pretty grim. Just curious who blew enough snow to have even a modicum of trails open once it starts going on Friday. Is Plattekill open yet? Wasn't sure.
