This region has been seriously shafted the last few years. Everywhere around us gets the good while we eeek out a few inches here and there. I don't remember the last time I skied knee deep snow at Burke. I barely have 6" at my stake. Burke's lack of decent snow making is REALLY glaring this year.

Smuggs skied pretty well this weekend. Monday was a vast improvement over Sunday. I think a lot of terrain will be skiable with this new snow. Meanwhile I'm off to Colorado.

[Bottleman]

Does anybody know what happened to the NOAA Storm Total Snow Forecast maps for northern NH/Western Maine, Eastern MA/Southern NH, and Western MA/Southern VT?

In other words, I'm looking for a map that looks like this...

http://www.weather.gov/btv/stormtotalsnow

...for those other regions of New England. Unfortunately clicking the regional links on the above map does not take me to the snowfall forecast maps for the specified region like they did last season. Instead I get stupid stuff like this:

http://www.weather.gov/gyx/

Not being a sailor, gale warnings are of little use to me.

Yes I have googled it.

It seems like they change the web address for those annually (probably keeps some government web admin busy for 3 weeks).

Scroll down - they call it Probabilistic Snowfall Forecast now.

Excellent! Thank you so much.

I can now neurotically check these sites every 20 minutes for the next 3 months.

Yup, can see that. Many will have to use restraint, lest we crash the servers with too many hits.

Since I was setting up a weather station for work anyways I just went and included all the ski and kayak related weather resources that I would want on the page.

Awesome page. Added to my favorites. Thanks.

Dawn tour today at Mt. Ellen before work. Good skiing. Interesting mix of wind buff/packed powder/powder. Drifts ranged from 2-16 inches. If you hit it right, twas' glorious. Stick to the edges of trails and trees today. I suspect wind scoured up high.

That is cool. One stop shopping. Thanks

Dawn patrol lap up to the top of the gondaler provided the turns I've been dreaming about for weeks. So good to get that fix. It was awesome the whole way down.

Stayed for a bit after opening bell, under the 4runner I'll echo what was said about the irregularity of the depth, some spots were completely scoured others were well over a foot. Trail sides were pretty consistent though.





It was nice to get out of the wind up top.

[Boreas]

Creamy turns today.

[Bottleman]

Anudder great one today. Thank you ULLR!!!!

[BigDaddy]

FIFY





Looks pretty tasty

[Bottleman]

Weird?!, I click on those pics and keep getting this notice:

ROTATE IMAGE...NOT STEEP ENOUGH!


Otherwise looks pretty tasty

We leave the steep stuff to the pros. They usually ride this bus....

Looks like the Mighty has/had some nice unslayed snow. What about soup?

Took my bd off yesterday to ski with Eli and after a late start found some agreeable snow.

5 runs on Lifeline were enough to get things flowing, middle section was as good as it gets



Middle Earth was not as snowy



Mid mountain woods were ok, but still a long way off due to no base to speak of.





Into the wormhole



Ran into Surface Whore who was having a good time slashing pow. If you ski teh bush I would avoid Domino/ lower Domino, there is no good reason these trails should be open. I would rather ski the road in front of my house.
Skied the woods to the back door for the 1st time this season and it wasn't too bad, had to stop a bunch to pull ribbons out of the trees.
Fellow BD celebrator Joseph showed up and we got into Elis' stock of suds

Currently 8` with light wind and snow falling bob

[Bottleman]

What about soup?

*Sigh*

The soup has failed to meet expectations this year. A bitter pill for sure and for certain. The Dead Animal products have been delectable, however.

One more from yesterday...
