What happened on Wednesday night was ugly. From what I understand we had between .75 and 1.5 inches of QPF (unfrozen snow). Opinions please, post in the comments section below …
The QUESTIONS are knowing what we knew on Sunday, or what you know now …
Would you have blown snow the last two nights?
Do you think there will be anything left tomorrow night?
Please indicate your home mountain.
There were some who considered this small, family run ski area as competition to Gore and the Skibowl. Total vertical was about 400′ and it was served by a single Tbar:
Harvey Mountain Ski Area was actually on South Mountain in North River – off Barton’s Road, just downhill from the hairpin turn. I first noticed it maybe fifteen years ago. I was skiing and exploring the summit and cliffs of Harvey itself you could faintly see the old runs illuminated by the difference between the newer and the older growth.
I never knew what I was looking at until I connected with Jeremy Davis of NELSAP a few years ago. With Jeremy’s permission I excerpted a piece on Harvey Mountain last fall. There’s more at nelsap.org too.
A weather blog appeared in November seemingly out of nowhere. It’s called Convective Solutions. It’s odd for reasons I can’t quite put my finger on. When you Google it you get results for “Convective Solutions LLC.” An LLC is a type of corporation, but I can’t really see any reason why a business would be blogging about the weather.
In any case, I’ve been following it and a few weeks ago I installed a feed from Convective Solutions to NYSB, in the “Eastern Ski Blog” Section. Whoever is the mysterious meteorologist is…I like the work being done.
