Ride Delaware ?

Starting to look more and more promising that temps will drop after this week long warmup. Outside chance of some places opening up for Thanksgiving in VT.

I shoulda taken that early season trip...

Looks like a chance of cold right before Thanksgiving. At least enough to get some guns going in New England, but PA is going to be SOL...

Bowl Championship for college football. It was some crazy calculation as to how national rankings were calculated. They've since done away with it.

I think it's some type of BCS style calculation where it has to be 6" or more with 50% of terrain open...

Justo, I think they run Thursday through Sunday...

I feel like you should be responsible since you two were clearly BFFs...

That cold air blob disappear?

Sugarbush is wicked expensive. I know I get some perks, but I have no idea what they are. The quad pack is the best deal bar none at the Bush...

Whatever happened to Robert2? Another Doug casualty?

That sir is a pipe dream...

Don't take my word for it. Wait for the official weatherman (JLaw) to chip in...

Bush isn't in Southern VT. It's another solid 1.5 hours north of there depending on route traveled. Go to North and you will have less crowds...

You going before or after JLaw? Hit me up...

Doesn't look like this cold air is going to set in two weeks from now either...

Sugarbush started making snow up top today. Who knows how production is. Seems like a waste with the temps the next two weeks, but I won't complain if it doesn't melt. Sugarbush has a set snowmaking budget, so I would hate to waste it early season.

If your up in the Bush area, hit me up. Don't know when I'll be up there, but still looking for turns with some PASRs this season. I'm looking at either a Maine road trip or Eastern Quebec trip this year. Might not get either, or might get one. No clue with this late start date.

If the cold air settles in 2 weeks from now, Killington should be fine. If anywhere will have terrain open at that point, it will be KMart. As long as Snowdon is open, crowds will be easily maintained as well.

It's looking grim. I'm thinking Thanksgiving in VT should be ok, but it will be real limited. I hope this cold comes through, but it's nice having the extra time to heal.

Tell me more...

Yeah. I hit a tree while mapping a new glade route. What a mess. Healed up just fine. This is a different type of ankle sprain. Partial tear in my posterior tibial tendon. Outside of the ankle ligaments are fine, but I've got a pretty good amount of joint pain and the tendon still has some stiffness and soreness. I got lucky in that it happened August 30th so I had time for it to heal up and hit PT. I've still got some time to go, but the doc cleared me to snowboard due to the nature of the boot.

Very odd beach accident this time. I also had a severe ankle sprain 3 years ago patrolling because I hit a tree.

I stated this somewhere before. I was up there, but I decided to let my ankle heal before I pushed the envelope on early season variable conditions. Really kicking myself for it...

As Moe said, looking super mild coming up in the next 10 days. With a projected November 21 opening date, the probability of the Bush being t2b at open is diminishing quickly.

Looks like "winter" will "return" to the Northeast the second week of November if forecasts hold. I don't know if POC is going to be right this year...
