The foot of snow that Magic or Mt. Snow are gonna get would be nice, IF I DIDN'T HAVE TO DRIVE THROUGH 20 FUCKING INCHES JUST TO GET OUT OF TOWN! :the_finge :fuckyou: :mad:
20-25 inches in CT! VT is getting shit, CT and MA are the place to be for this dump. Top three choices based upon snowfall:
Butternut, a bit of a drive for me, but the closest somewhat legit hill. They seem to have a decent park w/ some nice kickers.
Ski Sundown - even closer, decent terrain park
Mount Southington - the closet to me, but not quite all that
Anyone else thinking of hitting CT or MA areas tomorrow? There's gonna be plenty of pure fluff to be had.
Southern VT is calling for up to 10 inches tonight with a couple more inches tomorrow. Should be our first "dump of the year.
Aaahhh, our time has come!
Face shots and cold smoke this AM, thank you Mother Nature. I've now taken back all those mean things I said about you.
Hmmm. Now I have to choose.
Berkshire East: little vert. Flat. Much shorter drive (which will be crap) Possible more snow.
Magic: Much better terrain. Possibly less snow. Possibly heinous drive.
Just a guess, but even if you get to a mountain early, it may be closed due to wind. and really really cold temps.
(snicker. That will keep them all away. it's MINE, all mine, I tell you)
agonizing over the decision right now to drive 3 hours (probably more) in snow to ski what should be nice fluffy pow, but probably not a copious amount, not to mention brutally cold and windy weather
It's totally dumping in the seacoast nh/me area right now (timecode: 3:05 PM EST 01/22/05)
yet its not snowing at all up in dover. This does not bode well.Quote:

You think we're going to leave you anything?Quote:

Snow ended at 4:00pm in the Mid-Atlantic. 4 inches at my house in DC... better than nothing, but less than forecast. Grrrrr.

As of right now I'm heading to Butternut in the Berkshires....it's puking in southern CT right now and I hope it does the same in lower MA.
Anyone else considering the Berkshires tomorrow? How's Butternut as a ski area? I've never been, but hear they have some moderately steep stuff that should be fun....
theo I'm planning on doing either the T-bolt trail on Greylock or just lapping Petersburg Pass on Rt 2
Hey shmer....you can pm me if you're coming to my area...haven't pulled the trigger on the location for the big day but the calls are goin around...Quote:

They came out so nice that I am thinking of quitting job in software and possibly getting into mouting ski's full time. :wink:
James, are you talking about Butternut?? Three trails? I thought I saw on the website that they were at 100%....do they have anything that remotely resembles a tree run or glade at Buttnut? I am heading up tomorrow morning....I called them and they said that they would surely be open. If anything, I am happy they are closed tonight, that means more freshies for me when I grab first chair tomorrow morning.Quote:

Thanks Raps. I was just comparing the trail maps and I would say that the Nut does look a little better. Catamount is saying that they are going to leave 3 trails ungroomed though, and I hope the Nut leaves even more. Any tree action at either place?Quote:
