    Total Solar Eclipse coming to NY: April 8, 2024

    I would like to commend @TonyC for his relentless enthusiasm for this event. I was already planning on driving up to Wilmington. We have a W-SW view from our deck which should work well but I'm considerably more psyched than I was before and if even one person decides to make the trip because of...

    Where are you skiing this week?

    Once again I am missing a storm because of work travel. That said, I will get to ski Bachelor tomorrow and Monday. Still, it's hard to beat your home mountain on a powder day so I find myself wishing I were in Wilmington. Enjoy it folks and post pictures!

    How was it today? I'm on travel for work in DC so of course it snows. On the plus side I'll manage to sneak in a few days in summit county later this week...taking the long way home.

    Let's keep in mind that it may be that Walden is there precisely because she will do what she's told and if things don't go well, she will be the fall guy (fall gal?). It's just another accountability dodge set up for a future date.

    I think it's pretty unusual for any resort to be fully open by Xmas week.

    They did make some snow last weekend which was after President's Day. It's the first time I can recall that happening in the last 10 years anyway. WRT all of the other hoopla here, I actually think there have been notable improvements during the last two years starting with opening the summit...

    Whiteface Conditions

    Well, I don't think the second part of that sentence follows the first. Wilderness, especially upper wilderness, was just outstanding today. It's true that a lot of the mountain was pretty firm but there was plenty of fun to be had and it sounds to me like you managed to have some of that fun.

    I found conditions to be surprisingly great yesterday and today. I thought yesterday would be bulletproof but Skyward was groomed in the AM before opening and was excellent all morning. It was also really fun skiing under the guns on lower mountain. (Yes, they're still blowing at WF. ) Today...

    Those look like Salomon 747 Equipe bindings. Classic!

    I think others here probably know more about the history than I do as I'm not originally from the area, but I'm happy to help. I have had a season pass for about 10 years or so and I've been skiing at WF for a little longer. I can do some research too which would would be fun and...

    Hadn't skied since last weekend and oh, what a difference. Great skiing today, very nice snow and finally lots of black terrain open. Looking forward to skiing the next couple of days.

    The reservoir is on the current UMP. I don't know if it's been approved though and that could be tough around here

    They were blowing on Victoria today which is a little bit of a relief. There are definitely snow making issues. I have heard only speculation and rumors as to what they actually are. I wish they would just let us know what's going on, I really hate the whole "nothing to see here everything is...

    Still blowing on lower MR today. Looked ready to me. I thought Upper Parkway was the run of the day. The natural snow was great but with so little open it was pretty crowded by 11AM. That said, not much blowing anywhere else for a few days now despite great temps for snowmaking. I am really...

    FWIW, they were blowing on lower Mountain Run this morning.
