fact

US Ski Team sells a Gold Pass and if there is a US Ski Team Gala, they would offer one for their Gala's. It was good at most all US resorts (do not remember if there were any black out dates or not.) $5000 and a good portion is tax deductible ($4300) for you Dentists that need a tax break.

I’ve seen bands along Lake Erie drop 60” this weekend with more on the way.

How’s Holiday Valley going off?

Great Lakes ski areas must be thrilled with this cycle. I can't recall a better November/early December for that region in a very long time.

Did not see this before now, it was a real snow of the decade with heavy wet snow. Started Thanksgiving night and after 24 hours we had a record snow for 24 hour period. Was measured at 32 inches outside my front door on Sunday- and the sun was out some on Saturday and compacted it down some and just a bit of melting. East of here and west of us got more. 1 week total over 50 inches easily and they called out the National Guard to assist with things like snow clearing, transporting essential workers like hospital workers to work. Streets were impassible and then rutted and packed down with moon crater like ruts and pot holes of ice and snow. Now of that though was Upstate NY, they got much less the way the bands came in off the lake and it was mostly right along the Lake Erie shoreline also.

Holiday Valley got much less, but was cold enough they made some and had opening day on Friday 12/6 and Peak opened on Sat 12/7 an earlier date than originally planned by 1 week.

It’s been a couple years since being in a snow event like that with heavy lake effect, but 50+ in that timespan is insane and brings to mind my folks tales of the 77, 78 Great Lakes blizzards

[m2711c]

Living downwind Of the lakes affords one the unparalleled opportunity to gain the significant deep snows driving skills that are totally necessary to actually obtain the significant powders available to the righteous intrepid traveler in the upstates of the Japans…

Last one that was that much (until the National Weather Service decided that the totals measured were wrong and a month or more later cut the snow totals by 1/3 the actual amounts in an "adjustment") was the Christmas storm of 2017. The thing about this one was the heavy very wet snow with at least an inch or 2 of slush at the base each day more fell. Typically for the first snowfall, I just shovel as the snowblower gets clogged with the wet first round if the ground is not frozen. We are at 60 inches of snow for this winter already. Average for the winter has been right around 105 inches going back to those days of the snow globe being ever present. Biggest ones definitely that I remember were the totals in 1977 and 78 winters (first few years of my skiing seasons.) Christmas of 1987, Then 1993 March storm that dumped a bunch in 1 day with blizzard conditions.

The storm that hit the Buffalo South Towns just before Thanksgiving in twenty fourteen was a doozy. Some South Town places reported eighty-four inches. It was really localized: the airport reported seventeen inches and I could see grass in a friend’s yard in Tonawanda.
