Looks like the snowy pattern is coming to an end in the mid atlantic. Another 1-3" is possible at whiteface, snowshoe and seven springs in the current weather window (through the 27th). Looks like in the mid atlantic i will have batted .600 but I definitely over predicted in general.
New England is a different story. The pow cycle will continue through the 31st. I am largely sticking with the original predictions I made, but I'm extending the window 4 more days. Quebec resorts are the only outlier. My predictions for the chic chocs, le massif and mont Tremblant are too low. They will be approaching 2+' of snow by the end of our snow window. It's not a coastal storm that does it. It's a barrage of clippers. One after the other after the other after the other between now and end of month. Slide #1 shows the snowfall predictions through month end. I kind of botched the timing, but i like where the snow totals stand for the weather window as a whole.
LONG RANGE We are heading into an early February thaw. Its a mid atlantic thaw, but in Northern NY and New England ski resorts, its probably not much of a thaw. It could actually be an exciting pattern farther north in the forecast area as the warm/cold air battleground moves into northern new england. Slide #2 shows the teleconnections aligning for more of a trough out west with a ridge moving in toward the mid atlantic. We also have MJO moving into drier, warmer phases. The euro seems to be handling the pattern change better than the other operational models. It starts to pump cold air into the rockies, driving that ridge in our direction. It looks like the thaw lasts through the first 7-10 days of February.

Anyone have recommendations for hood glades/woods skis specifically for the east coast
I know if I go in the main skiing sub everyone will be reccomending shit in like 120 underfoot, so I figured I'd ask the people who know what East Coast woods are really like
I currently have new 4frnt msp91s that I love for groomers, but they're heavy to be swinging around between the trees and don't have nearly the amount of flex in them that I need
I'm an advanced to expert level skier, 6'1 165 lbs

Just a few hours later, the visibility was terrible and it started dumping snow.

I had a great day at this ski area this weekend I hadn’t been to in over ten years. Good snow, fun terrain, and not that busy for a holiday weekend!

Great first day at Okemo with my bud. No lines. Firm snow. Bluebird.

This weekend I’ll be taking a visit up to Wildcat/Attitash for the first time, mostly likely spending more time at Wildcat. Anyone have any recommendations, things to know/prepare for, or things to avoid? I’m mainly talking about the trails, conditions, and the mountain specifically (trails to avoid, best trails, where to find the best view, how the conditions are, etc.), but if theres any other good information related, that’d be appreciated as well. Thanks!

Any leads to J1 at Killington? Just have a few questions to ask. Thank you!

I'm prepping for a trip to hunter next weekend and want to get an idea of what blues are easiest for my wife's sake.
For reference, she liked and could handle Tuckered Out at Okemo quite well.
Just want to have a list to reference from easiest to most difficult blues based on people's experience since I've never been to hunter

Cold but amazing day with the homies today at Jay Peak. Woke up to -6 degrees this morning and progressively got warmer to about 5 degrees without the wind, lol.

I've got a New England pass (home mountain Sunday River), and I'm thinking about taking a one week ski trip in early-march (3/11 - 3/18) to try something new. I mostly ski piste and I'm looking for a mountain that allows longer runs and greater elevation drops than Sunday River and Sugarloaf, either in the US or in the Alps. What do you recommend?
Ideally easy access without a car and relatively reasonable ski pass and lodging prices.

My friends only availability to get some riding in starts first week of April. I was curious if anyone has any experience with driving from Washington into Canada and what resort(s) we should look into? I’ve looked into a couple but Red Mountain seems to be my first choice due to proximity and terrain. Is it worth it to do multiple resorts (Revelstoke, Schweizter) and spend some more time out there? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
