Friday will definitely be better than Saturday. That is when the powder hounds will get the goods. The skiing on the weekend will be good, don't get me wrong, but the Powder will be used and abused by Hawk and the Friday crew by beer O' clock on Friday. The snow is supposed to hit Thursday through Friday mid day maybe even late Friday afternoon. If you want fresh pow, Friday first chair! Or Lincoln Limo if it is running.
Sad that I'm buried under work, with pending milestones (yes, plural) and no chance to cut out early on Friday either. I'm on the bench this weekend. Perhaps my sacrifice will appease Ullr and he'll bestow great tidings of Pow to the Mountain as such. Just remember to thank me while your choking down 20" of blower POW, and have a switchback for me in the pub at beer O'Clock.
I really enjoy looking at snowfall total maps......especially if the numbers are big......& get bigger............we hope.................

What a smorgasbord of weather conditions. NWS has now slightly reduced snowfall totals for today and is now calling for mostly rain tomorrow before turning back to snow. I know that this is in the Valley, but reports today from those on mountain will certainly give us all a better idea of what is going on at elevation.

Dont think the rain forecasted is of significance. Just a touch of ncp between the real precipitation. Good for the base.
All you mobile device guys and gals: SB webcam is now viewable on your iPhone and iPad. Thank you, Sugarbush!

Snowing at a good clip just north of Boston. Sticking to the ground at 5:30 am. 28F.
33 in Cambridge and rain.
Map is showing a good amount of energy, hopefully the cold pushes south a bit more.
Should be snowing on the Mountain. Let the counting begin.
Win, when you read this, remember that a webcam higher on the mountain(s) would be so much more user friendly and illuminating. And, it would definitely help to bring new bodies to ski SB. It is surprising to me that SB has so many tools with the Web, Facebook, texts, etc. and has not yet taken the last step to show everybody what is really flying up high!

Someday. Right now it is snowing and accumulating and I think this storm is going to give up close to a foot by the time it ends Saturday morning. Temps look like they are staying down on the mountain. I just had a great couple of runs.
Webcam seems to show mixed precip at 2pm - any on mtn reports much appreciated, incl what it's doing up top since us lowlanders are 'blind' to that for the time being.
No mountain too steep
No powder too deep
(well, not exactly)
base temp shows 28 degrees summit shoing 19, so I'll guess that what your seeing on the webcan may be a little pasty at the base. Up top probably prett nice right now. It's getting increasinly harder to be productive here at work.
What do you call "uptop" on a day like today? Mountain website is reporting Heavens Gate and Summit closed for the day and North Ridge on hold, due to high winds. We need some reports from the hikers on the MT.
