Eastcoast Roll Call TwoTwo/TwoThree A Slow Start to a Big Finish

[ex-powderbroker]

unbelievable amount of snow down in rawdon quebec. it just kicked up another notch, maybe a little bit of heavier mixed in. i moved the car and my roof looked like something out of tahoe with 18” glued to it.

came up for a few days of xc with the gf and deeply regret my quiver

[stec06]

Snowing hard there now, according to my folks.

Aaaaaaaaand it's pouring rain now.

[cat in january]

Got a tour in with friends yesterday before the rain.








And because we are EC; stick stoke

[danmelon]

Nice! Looks like a good time!

Just flashed over to freeze here in CNY.

Heading your way tomorrow. Not interested in skiing over the holidaze.

Magic skied exceptionally well yesterday and from our window, appears to have retained solid coverage. Freeze line expected here at 4pm.

[Vt-Freeheel]

Can confirm, skiing is currently fun.
Rain stopped and a few dozen on the hill.
Surfy cream cheese

[Aldo]

There will be a base going forward!

[buckethead]

^^ aldo - you'll get the next one - base is good!
(been repairing bases regularly lately)

Local areas are full bore snowmaking

[Laps]

Pissed rain til 4ish, then the snow started. 6” already by the ole ‘nooski, and some soup by headlamp.

Skiing should be fun tomorrow. (Pre-seasoning, generous pepper applied before consumption).

Off to a late start near my hometown deep in Wegmans country. Swain had a lift running and all snow guns blazing. Very few people braving the cold and wind. Right when I was stepping into bindings power went out, chair stopped.

[ex-powderbroker]

well shit.

“Bonjour Tremblant! The storm continues and it brings us once again its share of challenges. It is currently impossible for us to confirm our operating plan for the day given the current weather conditions and a power outage that affects most of our facilities. Please note that the first tracks are canceled, and we invite you to stay tuned for the most recent updates.”

-2º bob -10 summit w/light NW at base. Not for sure how much snow fell after the freeze as the wind raged all night, enough to wake me a couple of times. Other than a dozen or so power flickers yesterday no issues so far, feeling lucky.
Snow compressed by rain/heat from 20" to 10" in the yard with an inch or two of fresh pow on top. Not supportive for walking on though skiing might be ok. Yesterdays tracks across the yard are rock hard, like iron.

Yesterdays snow with rain on top skied nice. Maybe a couple dozen people on the hill, didn't even notice that they closed snorth and Gatehouse at 1:30 due to lack of skiers. Until I tried to catch GH to get home.




Natural snow trails were wisely closed and have a new base layer on top that is rain bonded, should be challengely fun to ski once opened




I am fairly sure Egans woods didn't ski that well though it provided some lackluster Lower Birdland poaching





Get Some!

yikes! good day to be late. similarly missed a long closure/rescue that way years back.

[danmelon]

Fun but crusty in the laurentians!

4 ish” on a supportive breakable crust.

[ex-powderbroker]

crust wasn’t bad if the snow hadn’t been disturbed for me. varying 4-12” in turns but sometimes crusty underneath sometimes a wind crust on top.

saint sau having trouble with the 50mph gusts.

tomorrow will be really good.

[buckethead]

^^ looks really nice - if a bit tricky.

[Peruvian]

Found the same breakable crust in the northern Greens. Could have been worse. High of 9f when I got back to the truck. The crust should firm up over the next few days and make for a lovely base.

[Boosh]

back in the upstates, thinking of trying to hit up Bristol this coming Tuesday but going to monitor their snowmaking/conditions report today/tomorrow/monday to see if they open any more terrain.

heading up to Jay next weekend for new years, read a report they got like 7" of back end snow last night after the liquid precip. switched over; agreed that'll be great for the base but a little worried about the next wave of weather inbound for next Saturday/Sunday; I guess we'll wait and see, keeping the fingers crossed for a Christmas miracle.

[Laps]

$teaux was pretty sweet today…if you dared to duck ropes. Folks on holiday on the trails, I only saw people I knew in the woods/closed trails.
Merry Christmas, you filthy animals.

Down to the left of me…


Also to the right…


Here I am, stuck in the middle with you…

[HankScorpio]

Mt. Ellen had about 12 cars in the lot when I left at 11:00. Total ghost town with loud pow and some wind but some soft snow here and there.


Better than sitting around drinking coffee all morning…..I guess
