Snow! The Goods are in the Woods!!

What a difference a day makes--all that pow from yesterday, sealed up under breakable crust. Ah Ice, my medium... @Harvey would want us to be optimistic--at least the woods are filling in!

Thin but fun in the NW-ADK Sat. Jan 8 2022. More Lake Effect would be appreciated and may be in the forecast. Think snow!!

Currently (9:33 pm EST 1/1/22) waiting on 8+ inches of Nort Cuntry Pow (according to the marble mouthed tv weather guy, other estimates are less). Whiteface and Titus should make out--Skiology Matt sez so. But nary a flake has fallen yet--and there have already been so many disappointments this...

@tirolski Yeah chairs mark closed trails. You can see there isn't much snow. The mural is actually a "Greetings from Titus" sign with holes for your cute little groms to poke their heads through--I presume you send the pleasing result to grandma.

The WROD less traveled. Not many people enjoying that fine corduroy on 12/21/21. The lifties told me that except for the torch last week they had managed to stockpile snow since Nov and they did have some 6 foot high whales to spread out later. Considering the pictures I have seen of the lift...

But if this storm over performs I have to move snow to get out and that means somebody can poach my turns! There has to be a sweet spot. I think less than about 8 inches I just drive through it and worry about snow removal after day is done.

This is what I know: State owned, but no exercise allowed!

You may as ask why they have such shitty uphill policies? I believe the consensus is they are "the DMV of ski areas" need we say more?

As you sat on your couch, or made that turkey soup, that vague feeling of FOMO? It was real...great day out there today. Like that self-basting bird in the fridge--this storm was self-basing--I didn't touch bottom all day, except for a few little rocks on the skin track. Felt like winter too. I...

Somebody shoulda been out there gettin the goods. When I drove through Syracuse about 8 am 11/23/21 it just looked awesome. Maybe 4-6 inches on the ground. Just a narrow lake effect band, sooooo fluffy...(I know, I live in the NE, it really wasn't) and the radio dj's were bitching about how...

First and last Titus Conditions report. Met some workers on exit (Tues, Nov. 16, 2021) and was told that uphill travel is limited to open hours. Sigh..The bogey man of liability, even though we all know ski hills aren't held liable for anything, even when it is their fault. My bad for trying to...

The Big Tupper thread is such a bummer, I figured I would torpedo this one too. SLU SnoBowl is now owned by a shadowy outfit called Trout LLC (if memory serves). This appears to be 4 hot shot Wall Street lawyers who want their own private trout stream. While the property remains un-posted (for...

I wish I had zoomed in more for this pic, but it was a sunny day and I couldn't really see the screen so I just had to assume I got what I wanted (confessions of a BAD photographer). This is Big Tupper from the North (St. Regis Mt) on July 30, 2021. Some of the other NYSB'ers can correct my...

4 months is a long time

Best pow I ever skied was in Grand Targhee, maybe '93 or so? We've all heard tales of Ketchum. That said, somewhat of the (contaminated) armpit of the state but I bet you already know that...

INEL isn't close to much. If I recall, you won't be in Pokie, maybe Twin Falls or even Chalice would be closer. All depends on how much sagebrush you want to drive by on the way to work :) If you are in Pokie I would think you look to Jackson/Targhee and the Logan area for the bigger hills. I...

@Harvey Bring your skins for mid-week pow at Titus. The upper mountain lift only spins on Fri-Sun.The lower lifts are a bit more limited for tree skiing.

Brownski FTW. I stand corrected. It might not be August but it is close, and the skis I was watching at 179.99 CAD just went to 99.99 CAD. Here is the link, in case some of you still want to be "Tourons" this winter: Head Galactic Touring Skis
