100 year snowstorm?!?!??!?!

10" and still snowing in the Northern Greens and now this bomb is heading our way too? Might be time for some westerns to book a trip out east! :lol: I can't wait to see what Monday looks like.
 
not to be a killjoy, but there's a lot less cold air in place for the "Monday" storm. It could be a rain to snow event.

Don't get me wrong...with the right storm track :?: this could be another huge net gain for the N. Greens and Dacks. But there is much more risk with this system than with the current one, which is a much more typical mtn snow/valley mix deal. Which I have no problem with, so I'm heading up to Stowe tomorrow nite.

I find it humorous that Stowe closed Spruce because (allegedly) there just aren't enough skiers to ski there!!

Anyone know if the Gondi will be open this wknd at Stowe? Just curious :D
 
I'll be attempting to fly east from Chicago. :? Does that count?

Getting turns with riverc0il tomorrow before heading to the flatlands 8)

I'll see you guys at the lift bright and early. Flyin down to the Dominican on Sat. morning....never in my life did i think i would miss a potential powder weekend by booking this one.
 
I booked my first Caribbean cruise for Thanksgiving Week 2004, as I am so often disdainful of those who try to ski that early. That was of course the year Mammoth got 82 inches in October, so I went up there Nov. 13-14 before the cruise.

It looks similarly worthwhile for Nhski to make a ski detour before the Caribbean now.

April month-to-date snowfall in Colorado is not as high as Vermont's but quite respectable: Beaver Creek, Vail, Breck, Copper, Loveland, Winter Park all 31-35 inches so far. Most of these will close by April 22 with 6-8 feet of snow on the ground :x .
 
Latest GFS is a hole bunch warmer... for norther areas a massive cement storm with high winds or season ending rain event... still many more runs and days to go... hard to predict what will happen under a vertically stacked system

I've been trying to get to San Diego to visit my mother. I put it off as late as she would allow. I may miss this weekend and will definitely miss next weekend. At least my last weekend was epic. I should quit with those perfect conditions under my belt, but after looking at http://www.basinski.com and the free Kton lift ticket in my purse, I should be driving to VT right now, or at least on saturday. It could happen, though I should really stay home and take care of things before I head west.

Oh, and FWIW, Acid Christ is leaving at 4am tmrw morning to ski at Gore. They got a foot and they've been closed all week. Probably cement-like...but still, a foot of snow. I'm sure he'll be breaking out the Goliaths.
 
The snow should be more powdery at the summit compared to the base at Gore tomorrow, have fun. I have too much work to get done so I will be in Ithaca this weknd. The sunday-monday storm could be big here and at gore. :D

alright, this first storm looks like a bust. "only" 10 inches for the most i have seen reported around here. hopefully the sunday/monday event stays mostly snow for the northern greens. seems like this weekend is going to be quite as big as previous suspected both on the front and back ends.
 
Jay still has got the jackpot! I spoke with my friend (the guy in my pix in the red jacket) who has been up there all week. he said it has been refreshing every day and yesterday another foot fell. He's so tired that he can hardly walk. he says his legs are ready to just snap off. He's heading home today after 8 days of skiing in a row!! Yesterday he and his buddies "Ski-biked". One of their friends makes these "bikes" and brought a few up there for them to try out. They had a blast.

Acid Christ just called me from the Gondola at Gore. He says it looks like the skiing will be mostly on groomers today. He'll call back later with a more detailed report. He's just taking his first run now.

This weather event looks like it will be very wet (cement) with high winds (windhold?) so, I may just sit this one out and prepare for my trip to San Diego...dig out my windsurf apparel and beachwear.

When I get back, if the spring ski conditions are decent, I may either get back to Jay or use that free Kmart coupon burning a hole in my purse.
 
For all of us I hope Sharon is right. Two things to point out.

Accuweather seem to be notorious COLD with there forecasts. I LOVE readin em because they are so optimistic (for a skier anyway.)

Second - last weekend peope were in the trees at Gore. My guess is this week, with last nights snow, folks'll be in them again.

Just back from Jay and a report is forthcoming. This is NOTHING like last week. Not as much snow and much heavier. Really good for April but conditions wise, doesn't compare to last weekend in the slightest today.
 
In reference to Sharon's thread title - latest model runs have convinced NWS at least that as far south as GORE Sundays event will be all snow:

For Gore:

Sunday: Periods of snow, mainly after 2pm. High near 36. East wind between 5 and 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of around an inch possible.

Sunday Night: Periods of snow. Low around 30. Northeast wind between 10 and 17 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%.

Monday: Periods of snow. High near 35. North wind between 9 and 16 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%.

Monday Night: Periods of snow, mainly before 8pm. Low around 27. Chance of precipitation is 90%.

Somebody's gunna be gettin it.
