Any more detailed predictions on this weekends event shaping up into anything worthwhile? Considering making a run to the ADKs if Whiteface is going to score Saturday Looks like yet another big rain event in NJ…sump pumps racking up the mileage these past couple years…

WF skied really well yesterday more like 6 up top…had some nice shots working sides of skyward. Maybe it was wind deposited but I’d say more than the claimed 4”

3-4” in LP at the house

Ha...I meant more from a technical weather discussion standpoint...

I thought El Nino was usually good for the East and La Nina was bad for the East and good for the PNW...do I got that wrong? What's the ideal characteristic for a solid East Coast winter (historically, ignoring the volatile weather over the past several seasons)

I agree - despite getting rained on and foggy…the surface was actually pretty good…spring like. It seemed to be snowing lightly more than raining at top of LWF around 1:30pm

Raining pretty good in LP this evening. 36 degrees at the house. Skiing tmrw whatever the conditions may bring…day 1!

Picked up a set of Alpina Montanas new-old-stock so now I’m set!

Yeh im more like 40 I think...

Oh hah sorry you just wrote that! I thought you maybe grabbed a clip from an old NYSB piece you wrote! At least it's just cement and not something not more worrysome with moisture expose like subfloors!

Thanks - I believe I read years ago whatever piece you pulled that story from, sounds familiar maybe it's posted on the site somewhere. Makes sense, and appreciate the input, but if I'm in snow conditions like that I hope to be on my AT gear on something with some serious pitch. With this...

Yeh, they are. "I would recommend against NNN BC, if you are going to be skiing ungroomed snow" Can you elaborate, curious on your comments about this Keep in mind, I'm fitting this into my quiver as something to use when not full alpine or my AT setup...so will be using for mostly flat-ish...

So I bought a set of Nordic BC skis (Fischer Outback 68) and need a set of boots now. I don't know much about nordic other than I borrowed someones gear last season for a group outing in LP and enjoyed it enough to pick up a pair of skis to tool around on from time to time maybe on a bad resort...

New gear this year for the kid...picked up a "like new" set of K2 Indy skis for him upstate off someone from FB marketplace for $20 which maybe got used 10 times if that from the looks of them, and a new pair of Roces IDEA boots that are 6 in 1 sizes, I saw alot of ppl selling these when...

I don’t know the side by side cost comparison, and it’s probably worthless anyways since it’s been several years and pre-materials cost boom of past few years, so you’d have to get some quotes. We have the Hardi version of the product, and seems like you’re leaning LP so that prob impacts cost...

Just catching up on some NYSB reading and came across this thread, which I think I have some useful info to contribute. Harv, you've seen our place, but you prob weren't paying attention to the siding at that time. It's fiber cement board (i.e. Hardi/LP/etc) for the horizontal lap section in...

Whiteface tmrw / sat Hoping it warms up from the sun a bit, as temps seem to be sorta colder than what we need right now

So was it like a daily report written by someone with a picture of the day or just a forum? I seem to remember popping on there daily for a picture from somewhere on the mountain to see what it was looking like, as there was not yet webcams, Facebook/insta, smartphone for texting pics etc etc

I'm trying to remember something related to where I used checked skiing conditions and "pictures of the day" and stuff like that, and I believe there was some discussion board of some type as well, prior to being part of this site or TGR, this would have been late 90s to early/mid 2000's, so...

Im in the same situation...I’m targeting next Friday and Saturday, which currently look like nice spring days, after having to back off this weekend. Need to get my kid out for one last ski trip before I’m ok with ending the season.
