The snow, the access road, the parking, the lift lines, the angry people - it will be stewed to perfection.
brace yourselves, the “i got fucked up in low tide” posts are coming. maybe even a first rescue skiing off the back of K?
Haven't been up yet either, but I'll be at Hunter Friday regardless because I'm Epic. Debate is whether to hit it again Sat or head up to VT, most likely Mt Snow.
If someone could just tell me where I put my pass at the end of the season last year so I don't have to stand in line for a new one, that would be extremely helpful.
I predict the NEK gets the usual Nor-easter shaft. 4" at most with some mix of sleet. If the last couple of years are an indicator. This will turn into the 2" of unmeltable glacier that at least keeps it looking sort of like winter around here.
Making my fat pow rock skis wicked shahhhrrp… because you never know what lurks below. They cut through twigs and spark rocks better with a fresh 1/3* from das Pansar file.

a buddy of mine just asked me if I thought there will be any mellow backcountry in play with this storm as he's eager to get out on his new splitboard; I told him we're gunna need a lot more than a foot to make that happen... although the long term radar does show two more big ones rollin' in for Christmas and New Years so with this weekend's storm as a base-builder we might be in business before long
Early storms on dirt and ice are just BBEs.

grey, grey, goin' away!
haven't been in a number of years but planning on hunter tomorrow also. i'll be on spats, no poles and an unzipped ny jets jacket.
^^ i was thinking more about an unzipped jacket while it's snowing and windy.
a nod to hunter dress code?
Rangers, or maybe Islanders. I save my Bills jacket for pow days at Holiday Valley.
At least it's pretty down the WROD.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ebe2570cdf.jpg

Can’t make it up tomorrow, but trying to do Windham on Tuesday. Totally useless four days after a storm + weekend, or will I at least have a good base to take advantage of?
So, you're on an internet ski forum (which is connected to the internet) and you have to ask a bunch of dimwits if Plattekill is open? Now I know why buttah never posts here any more.
You will not know until you go. Report back so you can contribute to this little corner of the interwebz.
Storm skiin' tomorrow...
Could be wrong but I think buttah moved to Florida
SRiver or Kton Saturday? [emoji848]
Which will have less shit in the show?

Will be at Smugglers Notch with Peruvian tomorrow. His helmet is yellow and we will likely be the only two telemark skiers there so won’t be hard to find us. May go back Monday morning depending on what the weekend delivers. Fam focused skiing, if any, over the weekend. Stoked winter has finally showed up to the party. Bring it.
Magic is planning on opening Sunday if the storm delivers
Either gore or ktown Saturday first thing. Fire orange pants blue helmet. Either blue yellow saga jacket or muted beige jacket.
Ask for change.

Happy to report I am at Bromley, and it’s snowing pretty good at 10pm with some accumulation already. Looking at radar with ocean effect rain heading straight west into the storm and up the spine it’s gonna thump. And this is just the start. Winners will legit report 30+. Will try to report in am but excuse me in advance if I blow you all off to skin up pre open…..
Pretty confident Magic opens Sunday.
Skiing is fun. Snow storms are funner.
