Belle was open last weekend, depending on what ends up falling I would think they would open up with at least Dot and Seneca again?

I also wonder how rigidity plays into it. The Enforcer is Not that I'm getting a lot of air, but I do find having something over 90 inches under foot makes it easier to "land" whenever your skis do leave the snow. The Enforcers (and I think the Bones) are heavy "unforgiving" skis. My Head...

Bare ground on the cams. Though the only one at elevation is the Platty triple cam and apparently it's still night time up there.

On Instagram they said said TBD, and to keep on eye on their snow report page

Snow would be nice, hope we get an inch of rain down here in jersey out of this. Would Platty even open?

You can lease a model 3 for $299/month, or buy it for $42K before tax incentives( no sales tax in NJ, and $7500 if you qualify). You can also get a used one much cheaper then that. Though some of that money goes into Elon's pocket, do what you will with that info...

For example Platy usually does the "S" before it gets to Northface because they want to make sure it's open for XMAS, even though (I think) it's more acreage and gets more direct sunlight.

They could just do Deer Run, but yeah no doubt the setup of the mountain definitely makes it advantageous to do the short advanced runs off the gondy first. Also having so much firepower and a small acreage they are confident they can get everything open in time for the Holidays

I wish that lift were a bit faster, but Dot + Seneca are probably the two best trails open right now. I love that Belle bucks the trend and prioritizes it's advanced terrain over beginner stuff in the early season. It makes a lot of sense consider the beginners won't show up until XMAS...

Just took my Alltrack to the stealership for it's last service under warranty at 40K miles. $1500!!!! For routine maintenance!!!! Half of it was fluid change of the DSG transmission. So glad my Tesla doesn't even have a transmission. People pay too much attention to the initial sticker...

Skiing feels like the least of my concerns when there are forest fires in Manhattan, but I do wonder how this drought will effect the amount of water mountains are able to draw from to blow this winter

Real talk - Platty may very well only have 1 or 2 trails open depending on how the winter goes. Assuming it's cold enough to blow snow Belle will have a significant portion of the mountain open, though yes it will be very crowded.

What happened to the pattern switch!?

I think most East Coast forest is actually new growth from when first settlers pretty much clear cut everything New as in ~150 years

Horrible, one of the few wooded areas in Brooklyn is on fire. Used to let my dog run around in there

Freaking change already

I've been wondering how much knowledge fire fighters around here have of dealing with wildfire

It's really bad. We're now going on 34 days without any measurable precip and no rain in the forecast for the next 7 days. https://www.wunderground.com/history/monthly/us/nj/newark/KEWR/date/2024-10

Any mid week East Coast powder day that I can actually make it to.

Pretty sure my area is already in the record books and climbing Chance of a sprinkle tomorrow morning though
