My 11th season up here and it's pretty much a shit sandwich weather wise making it one of the worst so far. They opened M2 during the holiday week briefly. Currently pouring rain at 2AM. Very limited trails available. On the bright side, I only paid $199 for my season pass. When I refilled my card they prompted me for the Seniors rate but that applies to age 71 and up.

Nice to see an earlier start for you guys this season. Friday is opening for passholders only, then the weekend for the general public at Smuggs. WOOHOOOOO!!!!

Slight chance of some flurries in the higher elevations Friday night: 'Dacks and northern Greens.

Trippy, were at foot of pow already......

Winter Storm Watch from MON 1:00 AM EST until TUE 1:00 AM EST 1 of 2 Action Recommended Make preparations per the instructions Issued By Burlington - VT, US, National Weather Service Affected Area All of northern New York and Vermont Description ...WIND CHILL WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 7 PM THIS EVENING TO 4 PM EST SATURDAY... ...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM LATE SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH LATE MONDAY NIGHT... WHAT...For the Wind Chill Warning, dangerously cold wind chills expected. Wind chills as low as 30 to 45 below zero. For the Winter Storm Watch, heavy snow possible. Total snow accumulations of 8 to 12 inches possible across northern New York and portions of south-central Vermont, while 5 to 8 inches across the Champlain Valley and northern Vermont. Winds could gust as high as 35 mph. WHERE...All of northern New York and Vermont.

Interest? All the time, especially when I read the annual trip reports out there and see a dozen reminders of the place. The bar I built should be a pretty good clue! I'll get back out again.

Weather in the notch has been hanging at or near freezing with a handful of days near 0 or single digits. we've had 2 decent snowfalls and some intermittent flurries, but nothing boner worthy at this point. Looks like Madonna (M1) should be opening Friday. Saturday might be warm with light rain turning to snow into Sunday, but no big dump based on current forecast. Basically doing 3-5 laps a day just to keep busy and work the legs. I didn't get the Epic pass this year, if I can't travel west, just skiing Stowe occasionally isn't worth the $ for me this season.

That'll require some metal work to build legs for it unless you plan on hanging it like a swing.

Lastly, but most importantly, my dad was stranded in Germany from March 2020 to June 2021. He Amtraked up here for a week for thanksgiving and his 86th birthday. We talked about a ski trip overseas in the spring, but all the unvaccinated dipshits are fucking things up. When did 40% of the population go retarded? The last 5 years have been a serious embarassment and will mark another dark chapter in american history. And it's still bad.

snowing with an inch down. We're grateful for anything we get and they can add up. should be good for 3" by tomorrow. Will snow until at least midnite.

Ok, I know the Cowboy bar uses carsons.

Speedo jams, not the euro bikini. It's cold up here, fur is a good thing.

Good eye, bars in JH use Carson city 1/2 dollars. I went with $1 coins to keep up with inflation.

Currently working 3 bar shifts at the Morse Mountain Grille at Smuggs. 5 minute ride versus 2+ hour round trip to Stowe is a nobrainer. Free ski pass and access to the pool, 40-50% discounts on everything including ski tunes. My shift starts with laps before work and a swim after work. It's a Moeghoul triathlon. Ski, run around at work, swim. I plan to lap Morse Mountain tomorrow and ski right to the grille, lock my gear, and do a Superman routine sans phone booth. I'll wear my swimsuit, followed by my work clothes and put my ski clothes on over it. It's all in the staging and planning to maximize livin the dream, yo.

"BFD, Do you ski?" well, sure, I do what I can. This season started with an employees only Wednesday after getting close to 8" the night before. Felt like a good start, but it's december in VT. We rollercoasted thru several drench and torch moments, with a 10 incher that was a nice re-set, but we are still in limited terrain mode and OB is too risky for me right now. Next weekend has some foot plus potential...
