*Ace* Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Slackers! My area (Mohawk) opened up this past weekend. Thinking about heading out there tonight to see how things are shaping up and to get the cobwebs out... Give me a call at your earliest convenience, I have a few questions...

lafcadio Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Look for me regularly after the 1st of the year. I plan on spending a lot of time on the hill compared to last year. Mark, are you running the Rally again this year? Any word on dates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 The Rally is eternal. I expect it will be the last Sat and Sun of President's week. Feb 25th and 26th. I'll start a thread on it before long. I think the dates work well this year because the ECES is a little earlier than last time. The Rally will be like the pre-game.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dingbat Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hey Dingbat,How's it looking for this weekend? My friends' kids will be up for 1st time ski and snowboard lessons on Saturday and I was thinking of getting a few runs in. Still rock board season? Had my good gear out today. Maybe it was pushing it, but the snow was so nice where we have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Ace* Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Just got your voicemail with all your numbers. Give you a jingle sometime to tomorrow. Maybe I might even come to the BEast for Sunday with the GF in tow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lafcadio Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Since everyone is posting about the Beast in other threads, I thought I'd take a moment to set the record straight: conditions at Berkshire East are way good! I just spent two awesome days carving over the weekend. The temps were COLD, which is good for continued snowmaking (there is plenty of cover now), and the crowds were (as usual) not bad, especially for a holiday weekend. Even with the cold temps the snow never got iced up. Despite the recent snowfall, they had everything groomed out nice and firm. Other than some soft spots early Saturday morning, the rest of the weekend was great for carving. Winter is FINALLY here. Carve on, everyone! Carve on!

dingbat Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 The hill was mint today. Sun came out and it stayed cooler that expected. Great conditions held on everywhere all day. Tomorrow we may see some rain after the snow, but I think on the hill it'll be more snow and less rain. Temps drop significantly tomorrow night so Wed morning may be crispy, but I'm guessing it will be fast, stiff, groom. The breeze on Wed will dry it all back out making the weekend real pretty again. Oh and Mike, you were making some god-damn nice looking turns this past weekend, even after staying up playing drinking games at the flop house.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lafcadio Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Oh and Mike, you were making some god-damn nice looking turns this past weekend, even after staying up playing drinking games at the flop house.:D Thanks! But drinking games did come at a price. For once, I actually didn't make first chair. Or... maybe it was the -12 F windchill that helped me decide on a later start. At any rate it was a great weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lafcadio Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Looks like light rain today with partly cloudy for Sat and Sun. Can anyone comment on likely conditions for Sunday? Mark? I'm hoping that even with some rain today, things should be groomed out nicely by Sunday. Wishful thinking? Let me know. Stratton is my backup. After Tuesday, I will suddenly have lots of free time for carving! Hopefully the weather doesn't take a turn of the worse. If it does, I suppose everyone can blame me. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrapster Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 I hear that a thin layer of ice accumulation from the front end of the storm may have helped protect the base from the rains that followed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat Posted January 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 It did help, but the snow didn't set up last night. Warm today and mild tonight, I'm guessing tomorrow will be a mixed bag of spring-like conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 How's the B-East these days? Driving up on Saturday - do I need to tune up a Slalom board or is it semi-carveable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 No sure answer, bring a backup just in case. Yesterday was do-no-wrong carveable. Today is piled spring conditions over hard but carveable. Looking at the temps, it's a tough call for Sat. It'll either be money or sugar over bullet proof.

Jonny Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Thanks - kinda what I figured. I'll bring a 160 along with my 180RC. Stratton tomorrow but I'll be skiing most of the day - hanging with some friends who just go too fast for me to keep up on a board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lafcadio Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 What days are looking good for this week? For me, I'm planning on heading up to NH on Monday, but the rest of the week is open. Any days better than others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lafcadio Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I'm planning on being there for most of the day tomorrow. First chair, as always, until my legs give out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
