What are your expectations?

So if you were like me, I bet you skied last weekend (or thought about it) and thought that the mountain was coming together after a nice snow storm last saturday. Old man winter had risen, the cold was coming down from the north and our little winter world had returned to normal. 

Well, just like that it apparently washed away...

Apparently, I say that truthfully, because when my day started in North Adams, it was raining. And when my day took me Northampton, it was raining. I drove from North Adams to Northampton at about 8:30 am and came back through at may 1:30. Those 5 hours should have given mother nature to do what she was going to do with our lovely mountain, our great snow base and countless hours of my work and the folks who work with me. 

Here is what I saw...

ICE

ICE and SNOW

And a 'snotty elk'

Oh yeah, a ski area that doesn't look a hell of a lot different than yesterday. 

So, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose and sometimes you break even. Today was a win. What I saw on my travels was a complete washout in North Adams, a complete washout from Greenfield mountain south to Northampton, and tucked away a little bit higher up in the hilltowns, a nicely glazed over mountain, that got a little snow, about three quarters of an inch of ice, and some rain that slid smoothly off the face. 

What does that mean for you?

At about 2pm, the could should set in, our groomers will be out. The snow will set up, but tomorrow, the sun will be out and the skiing will corn out and the conditions should be fabulous. I predict an awesome day of skiing. 

See you on the slopes.
