    Thinking of skiing in Vermont Monday?

    Don't. At least don't do the drive. It's practically pouring. And the fog isn't helping either. sorry.

    Looks like I came out on top of that bet (Just drove from NH back to Mass. rather than VT.)

    Not something to be terribly happy about

    Merry Christmas EC mags! Sounds like the annual XMas rain storm will make this a blue New Years once again - hohoho!

    . Driving up tomorrow for a few days if ice climbing and skiing. I guess there's no point in planning a halfday at killington or pico on the way up?

    Well, if it gets cold monday night, then the ice might be good.

    No kidding, I actually have wednesday and Friday off with a blacked out All-East pass and just can't stomach the thought of shelling out $$$ to ski groomers
    For sure, you have to be lost to find a place that can't be found, elseways everyone would know where it was

    Storming hard in Quebec city. 40cm in a day and a half. Wind is nuts.

    I'm on my way to the Chic-Chocs but the road is closed ? Maybe tomorrow.

    Makes me laugh when I look at the reports for the West Can. They got rain and freezing levels above 2000m. Avi cycles running round.

    You guyz should drive a little futher north for some good snow. On lee slopes in the chic chocs I say 60cm+ give it a day to settle an you'll have by wednesday bottomless faceshots for a 200meters (600 feet). My bet is that hogs back will be sick.

    reports at avi conditions at www.centreavalanche.qc.ca section info neige there is english as well.

    Yeah for 700km of driving for 600feet of vert. Well shit it is raining in Revelstoke and Whistler hasn't seen snow since october.

    Mini-animal and I went on another of our epic tours over to the Mount Greylock auto road. 2 inches of the nastiest frozen ice chunks with about 1/2 and inch of snow that barely covered the pavement. Did about 2 miles of uphill skinning pulling a 40 pound sled telling myself that I'm gonna be in great shape once we finally get snow
