wasn't that shot during Wednesday?

Yes River, the heart of the storm was probably more late Wednesday, however I think the biggest total new snow was on Thursday morning.

regardless of snow totals, wednesday was the day to beat since it snowed all day and refilled lines. since it was a dense snow, anything more than two feet didn't really count for anything except adding to the base depth, so i still count wednesday as "the day" last week.

I don't know if the snow was in fact really dense, what put a damper on the snow for Thursday and beyond was the wind. if the wind hadn't been so nasty, you would be seeing photo's and video of epic portions.

I can't say my opinion has changed much. The early birds (mostly locals) who got out Wednesday clearly had the best of it.

Yeah, there is some many days and can take off work. :wink:

Plus I had a ski race that night that I wasn't willing to skip.


Mad River Glen - Valentine's Day Storm

Notice the lifties and patrols shovelling to keep the mighty single running.

On April 9, 1999 about 100 NASJA members signed up for the annual race at Mammoth. With 50 inches new snow 30% of them no-showed, not willing to give up even an hour of that epic day. Where are your priorities, Patrick?

Even going to that race was crazy with the traffic and all then driving to Montreal in a snowstorm.

I wanted to ski everything and everywhere. 8) The conditions were apparently great, most of the other racers were freeskiing, normally most of them head straight to the bar afterward. :lol:
