Wind and temperature drop looks like possible wind chills in the negative Thursday into Friday with potential for a hard freeze and not as much snow as hoped for. I was thinking of possibly Belleaye Thursday or Plattekill Friday, but might play it safe and cruise at Mohawk Thursday.

As mentioned, Belleayre doesn't alway run the Hawk Quad midweek. Windham doesn't run the Baker Double and sometimes even the Wonderama Express Quad. Mohawk doesn't run the Boulder Summit Triple. I've been to Killington when the Canyon Quad is not running. And just two weeks ago at Stratton the...

$550 midweek. I went that way with an eye on Plattekill for the weekends.

Started a bit firm, but Windham is very good today. Original plan was to bounce to Belleayre around 1pm for the $10 special, but there’s no reason to leave. Minimal crowd. I’ll post some photos later.
