I just saw this. looks like every weekend reservation for Ikon is taken at Windham Jan/Feb. So, yeah, i would agree windham is leaving the chat.

listen up Karen........Im going for a little reverse psychology here. Plus i would rather be surprised than disappointed. I have already deployed my shovels, but i think holding off on getting the snowblower out of the shed, moved to the garage, and started up, in hopes that will increase our chances for more snow.

This, and im just not enthused by the data from the bouy.

I think seeing double digits out of this storm is unlikely.

Hopefully it stays that way. I think PASR's should lead by example.

its been upgraded. for "stoke" We're keeping a close eye on natural snow Mother Nature is expected to drop off this weekend. Some reports are showing up to 11 inches!

posting for "stoke" only. This guy doesnt show up until there is something to watch, so....... I think he skis at Blue, might even be like part time staff.

Thats the timing i got as well, but like we know, this is really far out. Honestly, the benefit of this snow is that it should really help in the base building/trail opening thing. we really need this snow for that reason. Some nice soft turns will be nice, but 10,000 people on 3 trails and it will be bombed out by the second run.

Anybody remember when i said it was gonna snow, and we would be fighting for some powder turns on 3 trails? looks like that dream could come true.

FYI, this was the map from what ever model gave Blue the most snow, but yeah, its good to see snow back in the forecast and should make for some interesting "stoke" for this week.

Sunday snow map for “stoke” will change 9000 times before it ends up as rain.

They need to do something about the trash, or it will just get worse. Not sure how they would handle that as a sign thats says “no drinking alcohol on the lifts” will fire up the Karens for sure. Kinda gotta handle the problem without admitting there is a problem.

18 days i think.

Trash, snowmobiles driving all over the slopes, and uphill travel will be on my survey.

Yeah, so when Burma is the best run in the morning, its probably not gonna be a great day. first run vista was super nice, most of midway was ok. Main was bad from the get go. Upper part of coming soon was nice, the headwall was trenched bad. Really bad. Paradise was all about just finding a patch of snow to get to the lift. then what was good went to sugar. With the weather we have been dealt, just have to go with low expectations lately. We need quite a refreshment so that just those 3 slopes will ski well again.

i dont remember sugar at JF, but it cant be just a Blue Mt thing, so i would say it definitely happens at Blue more than anywhere i have skied. But maybe its the traffic that Blue sees that makes it so prevalent.

That cold has been moving back for weeks for now. That was supposed to be here 3 days ago. My confidence is kinda low at this point. And i try not to get excited about things that might not come true. I hope it comes, but like i said, not holding my breath. lets see how this looks in 3 days....lol

Yeah, im super surprised i have been able to pretty much ski the same trail over and over again for an hour or so. imagine what it will be like when we have like 5-6 trails open? holy fuck. of course i will be there tomorrow though. i thought about skipping it, but im heading home, so its on my way. if i ski 2 runs and split, i wont feel bad about it at all.

kinda thought today was gonna be real bad. it wasnt too bad. but Coming Soon was the star of the show, and thats kinda it. lower main was bombed out by a little after 9. i think they will make it into monday with similar conditions and similar skeet spots. Who knows what next week will bring.

Looks horrible.

I dont know if you need rock skis, but i might bring the dirt skis. With some edges, if you are going in the am.

I guess “cant believe how well Blue is holding up” can be subjective, but does this guy work for Blue? this is why i love FB, and the reason you shouldnt believe most of what you read on the internet. I would say Blue is holding on, but barely.

Yeah. What was open today being open on monday is gonna be a stretch. Vista goes though.

I think the closed tuesday until a total refresh on everything is quite possible. i think re opening paradise on friday will be wishful thinking. Theres not a lot of consensus between the forecasts, and to me it means temps are a coin toss. but, it could also swing super cold earlier in the week. But, the pattern has been for the cold to get moved back, so unfortunately thats how i think its gonna go. Sadly, Im not expecting great things to happen by next saturday.

Very fast skiing today, at least this morning. Everyday with these temps, and no snowmaking will certainly be a new adventure.
