So the cold air has been pushed back well beyond the current forecast into mid to late January. Today I was kayaking on the Delaware river in a t shirt.
All weather models pretty much show the same thing.
I'm staying optimistic. But yeah weather outlook sucks!! I've gotten one day in Vermont thus far and thats it...
I planned Jay for later in the season so I'm hoping for good snow totals by than and hoping that the cold weather is just delayed and extended into late April could hopefully catch some nice spring riding
Pretty much the same in Europe had a big storm a few weeks back and nothing since, temps are very mild with no snow on the horizon. The lower resorts are gonna be hurting over Christmas and new year.
Yup. Everything below 1600m melted away, aboth crusts and refrozen cement, south facing slopes didn't even open. And nothing but sunshine until xmas. Same story as last year just replace the mud with ice. Arrr... time to sharpen those edges :dry:
yup feeling the pain i booked a trip to mt snow and sugarbush
xmas week, looks like only wrod on 6 trails and most likely packed like a pow day... if i had not paid for lift tix already i would have probably cancled:angry1:
Actually a few east coast resorts in wv have already opened and it looks like they will have 3 good nights to fire up the snow guns this weekend. Don't get lost in the long term forecast im expecting most to open by jan 1.
Starting around new years the trend seems to be to dip enough to get some good blowing at least at night. The problem is being 2 weeks away I'm afraid those outlooks may factor in historical averages along with weather patterns.
I doubt my local hill will be able to make it open this weekend. The ground isn't even close to frozen so its going to take a bit to get an initial base. I think I'll end up with a trip to Mount Snow on Sunday.
I live in Flagstaff AZ, cant say that I feel your guys' pain. It snowed 30" the last few days, and still is snowing on and off. That picture was taken a few days ago. a lot more than a foot... Last year sucked for us though...
Was at blue Mtn today in the rain. Kids team had practice. They closed the mountain by 12:30 because of lightning/ severe thunderstorm :cloud2: :cloud2:
at least i got about 10 runs in before we were booted
There is a snow team of kids from Maine that are out here for 2 weeks because there isn't enough snow to build competitive parks, slope jumps or bx courses.
this winter sucks a**. i have a house rented at Snowshoe in 2 weeks. im hoping they end up getting more snow without rain before then. maybe half of slopes are open as of right now.
It can all change at the drop of a hat. My home mountain in Northern Michigan barely had snow around Christmas time, and now has up a 70 inch base with more snow in the forecast. Thank you lake effect.
Same here. Nothing at Christmas, now have over 30 inch base, and more on the way this weekend! As of Saturday, all lifts open. Last two days had powder.
well i hope you guys are right. We leave Thursday night and are there till Monday. been excited to break in the new board. im plan on taking my old board in case conditions suck.
How's the super storm? Anybody heading out this weekend? Your storm is all over my Canadian news. Never thought I would be jealous of US mid-atlantic winter/snow. haha
Of course the storm of the century for New England hits when I have zero days off. In southern jersey we only got a few inches of slush, but man, I would have loved to use my peak pass at hunter.
