The NYS burn ban begins on March 16th. That feels incredibly early.

This is after several days in the upper 50's/mid-60's up here.

Magic is doing that too. "There will be active snowmaking on trails until about 11am so use caution around snowguns. Any additional all-natural trails will have to wait until surfaces soften up this weekend."

Historically mild winter a potential glimpse of 'new normal' Meteorological winter brings fourth-lowest snow total in Albany since record keeping began. By Patrick Tine Feb 29, 2024 In the Capital Region it has been, largely, the winter that wasn’t. The end of February marks the end of...

I don't like those odd's in that a random lake effect band could spoil my bet. I would bet my house on the cat's being done.

That depends on the wager. Starting today every mountain is going to lose snow, and gain none. I'm not sure how quickly the snow loss will be, but it could be significant with a soaker or really warm day/warm overnight. The chances of a cold/snowy late March are slim. I'd LOVE to be wrong...

It's o'va! Almost 70 in Saratoga Springs next week. Nothing but rain and above average temperatures into mid March. This season was a train wreck.

It feels like early April now. March is going to be awful.

I expect most mountains to make it until the end of March, but with a loss of terrain, especially on non-snowmaking trails. Our ski seasons are shrinking.

"the 540 line goes to James Bay" What does that mean?

I agree, the temperature profiles, even at altitude, screams snow melt. I may end up eating $$$ this season for the first time in a long time.

It looks like a roller-coaster over the next couple of weeks with some significant warm-ups intertwined. April skiing could be in serious danger.

I wish I could, but I'll be on a plane for sunny Scottsdale. Maybe someone else can step up for that? It's definitely a story many years in the making. I still have a piece of the old black chair sitting in my garage.

AT LAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Black Line Quad will run for skiers and riders from 10-2pm today–grand debut on Saturday morning of WinterFest! Say good-bye to any lift lines at Magic!"
