East Coast Roll Call 23/24_The Guns Are Blowing

[buckethead]

^^ looks much like ours, 'cept ours has running water.

2024 has to be better!

[east or bust]

platts was really, really good!
amazing rebound after last rain event to provide soft turns.
and was good to meet east or bust late in the day.

Nice chatting you with too. Fully agree on the conditions, was surprised to be skiing some dust/loose snow over soft snow underneath by the end of the day.

Platty definitely delivered, with full on coverage it would be off the chain.

Santa left soft corn and soft gravel under the tree.

Mount Blue upper left in distance. Soft snow piled up later in the day at Black Mountain of Maine.


Went for a walk and impressed with the rock moving that’s been done on this hillside skiddah trail

Those local Beavahs like to pick things up and put them down. The upcoming weekend is looking beautiful for power tools and optimistic fools.

At least the snow making ponds are refilling today. Oooh and up to 1” of snow in the forecast for Saturday. ❄️

The pre-hype for the season petered quickly, and some of you have reported from the feeder hills - post wetantisnowapocalypse23'

a report from the Jersey Alps...

worked on making our own weather while it lasted


can't play with the new toys


consistent clear precip makes the manmade sweet dense hero cream cheese


were did winter go?

[buckethead]

we had winter?

[Gepeto]

Just Pre-Soup then?

Some early confusion is all. It'll sort out...

Waters have receded - the cleanup continues

[BFD]

my son has been visiting the east coast. He thought he would be skiing some classics. Posted this photo today.

I think he actually enjoyed it.

[AdironRider]

That'll put hair on your chest

[byates1]

Lol

[cat in january]

Well at least it looks cleared of blow downs

[JohnF]

Fucking rain.

That looks substantially better than any natural snow trail in these parts.

Sunday River is skiing pretty darn well in places, but the warm temps and liquid snow aren't being helpful to coverage. Hopefully the pattern changes soon and they can get the snowmaking back online.

Marissa doesn't offer much hope...... Just enough to cover the rocks, dirt and fresh ice flows, maybe the groomers will be good by Tuesday.
Glad that I am working at least through next weekend

shouldn't that bear be tucked in by now?

[scharny]

There’s so little snow/ice below 1,000’, that once things drain and freeze hard, there could be a solid window for some decent trail and gravel riding. In Central VT. In January. WTF.

Henrietta is seen waiting for the cleaning service to pump out her den... location location location

^^ everybody's short staffed these days. 'specially with all this liquid abundance.

[Vt-Freeheel]

Thread title is jinxing us, hard.

The only thing blowing is the fog
Well and warm rain

[buckethead]

disagree/agree

title is an acknowledgement of our lowered expections for significant early season snow in the east.
blame the damaged climate system for our inability to even reach that low bar.

our mammoth brethren didn't even start a new thread and are in their own poor weather boat. where's the jinx there?

we used to just get this shite weather for a week in late december.
let's hope january is not december 2.0

fwiw we could start a new thread:
EC ROLL CALL : OUR WEATHER IS BEYOND FUCKED
and see if that clever use of reverse psychology sets things straight


and please, no burning of skis!
