Well, windstorm rolled through on Saturday night, and operations were shut down due to a power outage on Sunday.

"Thanks for a great season!" Yeah I don't think so. Maybe next year.

Life is too short to ski in the rain. Well, the skiing part is okay, I just hate dealing with all that soaked gear when I get home.

Sunday is supposed to be sunny and 6C, so we'll see.

Glen Eden closing weekend coming up. Will be there Sunday morning first thing, tailgate at 11:00, and leaving by noon. If it's raining, well, I'll probably be alone since my kids aren't really in...

Nice!

And yeah I'd understand the MSLM lift line shitshow if a lift ticket was still $70 but it's $110 for the day now - they need to hire some staff to run those lines, at least when it's busy...

This is why it's important to have the Lift Line Police. Especially with the 6+ person lifts, because for some reason skiers can't count past 4.

It was thick melty slush all day, which is better than ice so I don’t mind. Will probably not go back though - the amount of selfish morons in the lift lines is too much. Told a lady it wasn’t her...

Tailgate with a view…450516

The storm DELIVERS! Snowed really hard all night, albeit some good old fashioned Sierra Cement™️. Great coverage at GE, and smiles and stoke across the board. Keep it coming!!

29cm forecasted for Friday night. Actual snow, not these stupid ice pellets and freezing rain. Saturday am is the last kids' lesson so it's shaping up to be a memorable one.

Another good morning at GE. Place was packed by the time we left at 11:00. Should've taken a pic of my borderline parking spot, I've got parking at this place down to a fine art.

Best snow of the season today at the old Mt. Milton.

Was snowing pretty good - 3cm on top of the new groomed ice pellet base with man-made mixed in really goes a long way!

So, last night I get an email from Glen Eden, saying due to inclement weather they are delaying opening until 10:00am this morning. Ummm, what? Sort of ruined my plans to be there at 8 and ski for...

I'll be out tomorrow morning no matter what, just to check it out. Ice pellets? That's sort of like snow - I'll take it.

Nobody will be the wiser...

Good times this Family Day weekend. Forecast says 33cm coming Wednesday night here in Milton. If that happens, holy shit.

Saturday was nice. Just out with me and the girl. Nobody else really...

It's all good. This season has totally re-set my standards for what good ski conditions are. If the boards slide, then I'm happy. Missed out on 10+cm on top of 1/2" of freezing rain? Who cares.

They've never blown snow this late in the season before (I don't think). Seems good old Glen Eden needs to run the guns any time the temp dips below -4. Even saw them cranking out nasty yellow ice...

Winter is coming back. Late Feb and the entirety of March shall be our season. Get ready, everyone!

This rainstorm is even more depressing than I thought it would be.

I'm willing to ski every Friday in March if you guys want!

Absolutely pissing rain today. More warm weather in the forecast. This sucks, man.

Gonna just give up on this winter I think. Play out the Saturday morning lessons with the kids, and we've got...

Does everyone else ski Ontario hills the same way as the wife and I? Which is to say, we ski every run available and figure out which one has the best snow and basically stick to that one run until...

This is bonkers.

Two and a half weeks ago - have never skied in such conditions before:

Then last weekend, totally different story and time to celebrate!

Mid Feb is my favourite wintertime as well. Snow is still plentiful, and the sun is starting to get warmer and stay out noticeably longer. It would just be nice to have a ski season that is longer...

Lots more rain rolling through the GTA. Just heard thunder FFS...

Worst January ever. No exaggeration. February better be good, or else!! <shakes fist>

That's great. Instead of a Christmas party, my company does nothing. Like, not even a mention of anything. Super lame, but honestly I'm glad to not have to go to anything anyhow. I'm only 43 so...

My dad had a similar iron at his place I used to use when I was a teenager. Thing would spark and smoke where the fabric-sheathed cord met the iron itself if you held it at the right (wrong?) angle....

Went to Glen Eden to get the kids' lesson passes and our family's "season" passes, finally. They've got snow on 1/2 of the hill, and enough for 3 actual runs and the learning centre. Looks...

Not to mention the top 1/4 is low-angle and shouldn't really even count as vert. Ontario badly needs another option in that area other than Blue.

Imagine driving from Montreal to spend 90$ to ski at MSLM... it's incomprehensible please nobody do this.

Haven't made a single turn this season yet. Awful start!! Kids' lessons start at Glen...

Don't worry man, after this weekend Paulster Prediction™ says we are home-free. We got this! I also guess that this year's weather bullshit will kick-off more investments in Ontario hill...

Glen Eden has been "Open" with 1 or 3 runs and 1 lift. They have now closed until the weekend and need to get cold temps to start the guns again. Drove by it the other day - depressing only begins...

Really sucks that MSLM wants $90 for a lift ticket now. My buddy and his family have passes there, and rent out a cabin. We like to head up and spend a night and then go skiing for a day, but for...

Big snowstorm coming to southern ON tomorrow with cold temps for the foreseeable future. Should be enough to get things going big time.

Send me $20 and I'll set one up for you.

I keep forgetting actually how early it still is in the season. That sudden switch from fall to winter in November really messed with my internal clock. It feels to me like we're in a terrible...

Man this weather is balls. Looks like late next week we might be able to hope for cold temps and precipitation. Would be nice to get out to the slopes over the holidays. Fingers crossed!

Just some context for you - that chair is waaaay (not that far but far) up north in Huntsville, which is part of what we consider the "snow belt." Up there, 10cm (4") ain't shit as they say. But...

It's happening. Insta-shift from summer to winter-like conditions, which is nice because usually November sucks balls. Can't start a thread without a pic, so here's the backyard, somewhere in the...
