I wouldn't worry about it Greg. Lately scattered has meant Sunny. It's going to be a great day no matter how you slice it.

"[A]ll other lifts"? Is Castlerock reopening for one last day?

I won't vouch for the weather channel, sometimes I just go there because it's easy and in my head. I'm not stressing over the forecast.

Currently dumping snow at the mountain. Castlerock is all white again, although it probably won't reopen. Should be great turns right through the weekend.

Better be here!

I think the original from Greg was why Win wasn't "talking up" Sunday. There seems to be no doubt about the Friday and Saturday forecast but Sunday is a so Win is hoping for the best and I think we are right there with him. ; }

I wondered about that when I saw the radar. See you there tomorrow. ; }

We can only hope - you know what I meant though.

Of course, hence the smiley. But there is only one other lift unless things change drastically for the better

The NWS caught up with the increasing T-storm threat. Things can change...

NOAA is saying 30% chance.

In Vermont, in the spring and summer "Chance of afternoon thunder." is roughly the same as "Your mileage may vary."

Sounds like its gonna be a heck of a Saturday up there... I'd be up there with you guys but I have moved back to CT due to some pressing family issues, though I hope to be back for next winter.

Shred it up for me!

Saturday is in the bag, and I am increasingly hopeful that Sunday will be a good one too!

It's 70 degrees at 9:00am with gusty SW winds. It rained overnight and was real windy. I thought they blew the forecast for a minute but woke to bluebird.

So yesterday's thoughts went........mtn bike...naaa......family matters....naaa.......house/yard work.......meh.........work....ARE YOU KIDDING! I'm headed NORTH! This is what I awoke to.....Great choice.
