I'm just saying you be able to skin up it faster then you be able to ski down it, and that not just cause you suck, the place is flat, and made to be pizza, and french fried by Cambridge's best. crank54, I am radder then you.

The *almost* final word on plattekill is that lazlo wants to run the lifts, but it's going to depend on how much snow falls and more importantly...whether or not they have power. A bunch of us will hopefully be there around 9 to start hiking, skinning or riding up.

it appears that Kmart is open for the season. big up's! they should be proud of themselves. way to give the finger to Irene.
i seriously can't believe how hard it's snowing right now. i'll be at oh-key-moe in the morning.

Unfortunately all my gear is still in Philly and I am in NYC so I will have to wait and see if my buds from philly are willing to risk the ride up. I already questioned their manhood, I'm not sure what else to do. Look for a ridiculously tall snowboarder, if there I'll be on skis waiting for him at the lift.

My plans for this eve got washed out cause of this storm. I guess Ullr didn't want me to go out and look at some T & A. I guess he wants us to make some turns. Im down for Platty, just pulled the rock skis out. Whos goin to get some from the NYC area?

Hm. Not sure if I want to deal with the all the possibly downed trees and shit on the way to Platty tomorrow. May go to kmart instead. Definitely on the fence...

Pearljam and I were discussing magic skin-age but both of us agreed its a rock field and probably needs more then the 6" of base it's got now

My name is Jon and I'm stuck in Central Europe over the weekend for family business. I am really depressed about missing this storm and I'd really appreciate any pictures of Tri-state / VT/NH/ME turns, accumulations, downed trees and power lines, closed road blockades, storm-related MVA's -- anything to remind me of what I'm missing. In return I can snap you a couple camera phone pics of the Alps over Haus's shoulders via Lufthansa on Monday. Thank you for you help.
-- Depressed on the Balkan Peninsula

It's been hammering here in CT since noon. Easily 15-18 inches on the ground so far and still nuking. Problem is the warm temps tomorrow, gotta get some early in the AM.

Haha, I thought this was going to be a Nigerian scam from the first sentence. Don't worry, you came to the right place for stoke pics.

Wow, go get some, Matt!

Started snowing here about an hour ago. Whopping 3/8" so far. This fell on leaves as the low snow from the other day melted. I hope all enjoy the southern bounty.

Werd.

pushing a little farther east now, Maine should be looking better than originally forecasted. I'm off to bed, see you guys daytime at the Roxbury.

Meeting up with stuckinbrooklym in the am. Destination is TBD. See you out there

Anyone up for skinning Sunapee? I think I'm going to ski somewhere in NH tomorrow morning.

Lionel just tweeted this:

Axis of heaviest snow will be from berks into NYS and southern NH.12-16 easy. SO VT 4-8

15-18 already???!!??

news just reported that parts of the berkshires could get 30+, NOAA observations seem to support this based on what's already on the ground as of 9pm.

That is a major effin WOW right there ^^^. Holy cold smokes.

This is silly. I might even ski Pat's god damn Peak if the shit is getting this deep this close to me. 20 minutes down the road. Elevation: 1,200. Vertical rise: 710.

8-9" here in Concord, NH at 11:30pm.

If anyone wants to link up in Southern NH tomorrow morning shoot me a pm. I'm getting up at 5 and deciding from there.

Looks like I'll be able to hit the Wah tomorrow morning. Will be there early, probably summitish for sunrise. Long hair, beard, maroon buddahs, big white dog. Ask for change or just say hey..

I'll be out in the Berks tomorrow near the NY/Mass border, just ask for change or PM for directions

too late to be core here on page 50? I surfed in HMB today. its the east coast of the pacific ocean. back in mass on monday bitches!

Heading to Sunapee if I can get out the mouth of my driveway. 12"+ here in Concord, NH. Supposed totals for Sunapee area = 12-18".

12-14" at Plattekill on top of what they got the other day, the lifts will be spinning.

edit to add: my buddy is stuck on a bridge with traffic not moving either way due to an accident. Sounds really slick out there, be safe all.
