cliffh Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 So what's the story. Stratton reports wet/variable, Okemo reports packed powder. Why do I feel Okemo is lying. Looks to me like everything above Rt 4 was snow. Stowe and Jay are reporting over a foot in the past 48 hours. What's the real story down south?

tex1230 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I'll be at Okemo saturday & Sunday - hope they aren't lying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexJ Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Well it was pouring rain, sleet and ice when went to bed at 11:30 last night. This mourning we had 3-4" of snow that was much drier then I thought it would be. It has snowed all morning and there are still flurries. Steph was out this morning and just quit and is on her way home. She said it was actually really good. Looks like if they groom it good tomorrow could 1st rate. I will let Steph give the details later. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Ok, so I just got back from a day on two planks (no flaming please). The conditions at Stratton are good today. They've probably got a real 4-5" of fresh on the ground and more falling. After they groom it tonight, it will be heavenly carving conditions tomorrow. Cliff, if you are thinking of taking a day to come up, I don't think you will be disappointed. Maybe we'll see you tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tex1230 Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 How bad did the rain f*** things up @ stratton? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexJ Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Well it rained hard yesterday and last night, so everything was fully soaked. Then during the night it froze solid. Everything around the house is asphalt. I didn't go out today because it was going to be ground up frozen granular. I cant confirm how good it was, but I suspect it was not great. If they do some good grooming it will probably be good for the first few hours each morning. It will be prety granular though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Cliff - As for the snow conditions, in my yard the snow is like asphalt. I would guess that the mountain is a beautiful surface of frozen granular. I didn't see the need to go out today! Tonight is supposed to be single digits, with lots of wind. Mmmmm...tomorrow should be just as crappy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tex1230 Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Conditions yesterday were marginal - most of the mountain had nice grooming in the morning with a few areas of obvious blue/brown ice. The afternoon was a little better for riding with a bit of corn, but you had to stick to the edges of the trails as the middles were sheet ice. The woods were just dangerous. 3" of ice on top of 1' of granular...not advised. Today should be gaperific. It's 7:18 and I'm looking out the window at truckload after truckload of Bogner clad skiers on 140-150cm skis assault the parking lot. It's 4 degrees outside and I'm taking the day off. Tomorrow and Monday should be nice but there is a chance of rain in Sunday evening, so tomorow is the best bet. Anyone around ? yesterday was the first time in years I haven't seen a single other carver... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Who can think about anything "holding a groom", when there is already 8" of fresh powder on the ground and it doesn't look like it's going to stop for a while.
