EC Mags: What does this weekend have in store?

**shmerham** · 02-15-2006, 01:19 PM

Weather looks sketch. Rain on friday? Arctic air on saturday. Do the weather guru's think it's going to rain? everywhere?

That being said; where's the place to ski on the weekend of craziness we know as president's day weekend? Saddleback would be my choice, but they don't have much to work with right now. Burke's another good bet too.

I could have Highway Star show me where the blower is, but that would require a 2 hour wait for a lift. I'd get 4 runs if I was lucky.

Looking like a last minute call per- the precipitation we get on Friday.

Its most definitely gonna be ass-cold this weekend, and the precip forecast is the same (mixed- freeazing rain) everywhere in the state. So its really a wait until Friday and see what's doing.

40 + mph winds and highs in the negatives........no thanks

**Vinman** · 02-15-2006, 02:04 PM

the super warm temps today won't help anything either when it drops below freezing or even below zero in the next few days.

This is officially pissing me off now

**A-wreck** · 02-15-2006, 02:05 PM

I think I've had a better season in Michigan than you guys have had out east.

**Marshall Tucker** · 02-15-2006, 02:09 PM

BTW cloudmont will be off the hook. you heard it here first.

**JMan** · 02-15-2006, 02:11 PM

55 degrees out today, possibly 60 tomorrow. did i miss something or is it not suppose to be freezing temperatures and snowing right now?

Easy Vinman, you guys have definitely had it better up there than down here...the Jay pic of the day doesn't look too shabby as well as your reports.

Highway...you owe me some pics.

yeah I guess, but it seems like every time it gets good, it also gets ruined right after.

By season's end I should be able to do the luge on my dull Line skis while concurrently eating a pomegranite and still break the world record (without breaking a sweat).

**biggins** · 02-15-2006, 05:22 PM

1/4 to 1/2" of rain tom. night followed temps below zero...

AWESOME!!

I figure the week of 3/3-3/12 when I'm out of the region will be the only time we see real snowfall. Plan your sick days for then.

**Franz Klammer** · 02-15-2006, 05:44 PM

Was thinking of hitting Jay Peak on Sunday after the disaster of last weekend, but I am not so sure about it anymore ...

**snowsprite** · 02-15-2006, 08:06 PM

Train, you around this weekend/pres week at all? I'm up...I've discovered that the skiercross is a bit of a remedy for my woes.

They were all on the same pair of skis......kinda like greek skiing....

just kiddn.....

I was havn a good day scourin around...just being happy that my edge repair seemed to be working and my R:EXs are back in the quiver.....came down off the catwalk @ 2:30 or 3pm just hung above the intersection from where you can see downdraft, when four or five guys came from the dipper direction and ripped onto downdraft.....i needed some inspiration and they provided....ended my day on that run and was happy.

Spritey...would love to hook up but i think i'm blacked out.....would take a good storm for me to pay extra there.
