I hate hearing these stories, it's a shame the snow gods claim some of us but I guess that's just life In the very least at least he passed doing something he loved. RIP

First time I went this way I think I made great timing considering some of the roads. Not a bad route.

Correct I followed my GPS to the taconic (what a trip of a road when its snowy and your being safe....), I-90, I-91 from NY, Mass, VT. I'm staying in Brattleboro 27 miles from Mount Snow, it was INSANELY cheap with my expedia coupon at a chain motel that had pleasant ratings on tripadviser. Since I'm rolling solo I chose to save some money and drive a little further to the mountain.

Oh, Hello Everybody I left Stroudsburg at 11:45 arrived in Brattleboro at about 4:45pm and checked into my hotel. The ride up was pretty interesting seeing the different snow levels as I went up and down in elevation. I seen a TON of blue ice on the mass turnpike rock faces on the side of the road which made me think of Robert 2. What makes the ice appear blue anyways? It was pouring rain all through NY and into Mass, 20 mi from VT the rain changed to wet snow and the roads got slick but no troubles getting through. I'm really wishing I left Tuesday given what the weather is going to be like the next two days but I am staying hopeful. Mount Snow got DUMPED on last night and today! From the website: "Today was an amazing day out on the mountain, the snow kept falling and the powder was deep and fluffy. We received about 25 inches at the base and easily 30 inches at the summit. This snow is great and will remain on the mountain for quite some time. Everything was open but the North Face was where to find the steeps, and the knee deep powder that hit your teeth because you were smiling so much. The upcoming weekend is looking to be fantastic for skiing and riding. The weather looks to have flurries and snow showers straight through the weekend and we expect to have all our trails open with great conditions for everyone with powder, groomers, bumps and parks." I was super stoked when I read that and then scrolled down a little further only to be slightly stoke stomped "That being said tomorrow looks as though it may be a challenging day for weather. Like many storms the back end of this one is causing some of the weather people out there to worry. The state of Vermont is preparing for possible power outages due to heavy snow and the wind predicted for this evening. This combination may cause tree limbs to fall and in addition there is a possibility of freezing rain and sleet tonight. Driving may be very treacherous. IN ORDER TO INSURE THAT IT WILL BE BUSINESS AS USUAL AT MOUNT SNOW BE SURE TO CHECK THE SNOW REPORT FIRST THING IN THE MORNING BEFORE MAKING ANY PLANS AND LEAVING THE HOUSE." Anyways I am going to relax a bit and enjoy some brewskies and pray to the snow gods to keep the rain and wind away tomorrow or at least not be so windy that the lifts go on hold or they don't open. Wish me luck! More to come tomorrow.

Woah this thread has gone wild. TTC6Method magically turned into TTC6, I don't know whose who or what to think anymore!?!?!? Welcome back I guess? I'm confused

Ya I just seen that on accuweather "paralyzing storm thurs-fr", I hope the wind stays down here for thurs-fri. On topic, expect the quads to close if it's windy or if there is any mixed precipitation. Expect the mountian to close if it's extremely windy and trees are falling.

Accuweather still keeps insisting 12" for NEPA but I doubt it. Most likely 2-4 tonight and some flurries until friday but who knows maybe a dump.

Don't hate , there are a few of us CB forum regulars

Old news I told someone this a few weeks ago when he posted that I rode well in the CB forum and I never met "Method" unless he's a CB employee in disguise. I even pmed him saying hi TTC6 and he said "why you think that" and disappeared until now hehe. Lets all just be nice and get along

haha crazy, small world.

That's only for weekdays bro. I'll most likely be at Jackson Frost this day anyways though.

Isn't that the logo for the Blue Mountain in Canada? Anyway awesome pics, truly living the dream powder looks amazing!

Ya but I don't bother when I don't miss a beat mon-fri and take weekends off unless its a pow day

I know I can't wait for Monday.

I went out Tuesday at 4pm to 8:45pm and the crowds left it wasn't bad at all and the conditions were GREAT, made some nice longs runs from the Stevenson going towards the raceway and cutting over onto the bottom of Cliffhanger then sometimes back over to bactrian through some openings. It looked like there were some real nice powder lines under the Stevenson right after the snowstorm but it looked a little thin to attempt. I think the potential snowstorm that was in the forecast actually kept a lot of people away Tuesday. I was out tonight at 4pm - 8pm and when I got there at 4 there were still lines but by 5:30 they were all gone and the typical PA hard pack is coming back, the pack powder is pretty much done with Also I ended up bashing my edge deep into my core somehow buttering onto a box but still a fun night! No VIP line just first tracks on weekends.

WOW Great riding & video!

I think the weather man fooled us all. Only about an inch or a little better down and not snowing

Nice TR & Pics!! Windham looks fun, I've never been there only Bell.

EDIT* Just went and looked for myself .5" down snowing pretty steady in Stroudsburg

5:25pm SNOWING in Stroudsburg at a good clip!!!

31 degrees overcast in Stroudsburg. Looks like the snow got a bit wet today because the borderline temps but tonight into tomorrow should fix that right up

Disappearing posts

Holy shit did anyone just see the short track finals? LOL About to be a Korean sweep then 2 of the 3 Koreans take each other out right before the line
