Listen you guys .... NWS both ALY and BTV are calling for a marginal and potentially ugly event.

However ... all week long while the little pictures for Gore have shown "wintery mix" ... the images for WF have been looking like this:



I can only assume that this means that ..yes ... it's going to be ugly in a lot of places, but MAYBE, Whiteface can skate by. I'm not a saying no mix, but hopefully a net gain. For Gore, a net gain is an even longer shot, but I think still a possibility.

That said, I would be remiss if I didn't allow for the possibility for a significantly serious frz r**n situation. The possibility is there. PLEASE be careful.

Remember I'm not a meteorologist. I'm just a guy who has watched the adks weather a lot.

And I am not doing my own real model analysis - just interpreting the analysis of a lot of other sources.

On a personal note .... the only time our family ever commits to skiing specific dates is Xmas week. (And we often get hosed to tell you the truth.) But it's when we come to the mountains. That said we will still be watching this side and the Gore side for whatever beta we can get. You can be sure I'll be glued to the radar, but sometimes the radar doesn't tell the true story. Any local updates or TRs will be eagerly read and greatly appreciated.

Merry Christmas Whiteface and Gore.

Hapy Holidays to you too H.

Have faith, I think you're about to break that unlucky streak.

[Harvey44]

I think you are right NPN.

This is relevant to BOTH sides ... WF and Gore ... so read up.

This is about a stoked as I am allowed to be, this far out:

Hi, I will be up at Whiteface this weekend...So can someone please clue me in on to how things are looking this week? It looks like there is at least some chance of snow all week. Hopefully your getting in on some of the action we've been seeing down on Long Island this weekend. From the mtns. website site it seems we'll need a good dump to get any glade's open...think snow!!!
