You know there is a lot snow when Tommy Pic is open. I can't recall ever seeing it open in the last few years. Environment Canada is calling for 5-10 cms later today and 20 cm tomorrow. They were only saying 15cm officially but have upped the amount. Gad, that's another foot.

Cheaper than medi-vac with a broken leg! Who says men won't ask for directions.

Looks like Laurentians and Le Massif will be in the best shape this weekend. Ottawa - From Friday Morning to Friday Overnight we expect 30-40cm of snow. Tremblant - From Friday Morning to Friday Overnight we expect 25-35cm of snow. Le Massif - From Friday Morning to Friday Overnight we...

Speaking of lifts, the Jay regulars can confirm, but you only need to use the Tram for the Vermonter and Green Beret (on piste), otherwise the Flyer provides the same access.

By mid-afternoon some on piste trails that were decent in the morning may be sheets of ice, or ice bumps with ice between them, or just be really chopped to hell, regardless of how much snow dumped the night before. That can be said for any hill, but with Jay's wind potential it tends to be...

"if this were snow! " it would be December.

Sometimes you just feel like your throwing raw meat into the shark tank. :lol: The situation changes as quickly as the weather.

Now calling for a high of +4C + showers Friday but below zero at night forecast. +2 Sat. and finally no + temp for Sunday. At least the night freeze will slow the melt. A week can be a long time, we made last Thursday our tourist day in Placid because it was -25C :!:

The local hills are closed today (yesterday too) after a 3 days of +8 celcius temperatures. Looks like they are trying to get things ready for the weekend. Winter is coming back now and snow is forecast for most of next week.

Thank you oh Freaky One Exactly the days we will be in Placid for the first "real mountain" trip of the year.

Well, L.A. definitely has bigger and nastier traffic problems than Ottawa :lol:

Is your trip over, or upcoming, and is it during the holidays? That's a really decent condo rate, especially if it is peak.

In Ottawa you can buy a no restriction Jay Peak pass everyday for $42 CDN, taxes all in, from a sports store with 7 locations in the city. So the real cost difference of for us here it's $42 vs. $84, even if you are storm chasing. http://www.tandl.com/index.html

Anyone who pays the full listed price at Jay is not trying very hard. It isn't hard to get discounted Jay tickets or coupons.

Fraud would be advertising $30 but you can't get on the lift past the greens without paying $50 more. Stowe's rates are up front and you make a decision accordingly. No one is forcing people to go places. Stowe's niche is to be top dog in the east in prestige and $$, and that's the market...

I heard an interesting one on why hills name every little segment on a hill as a different run. Aside from the marketing reasons usually cited, he said it was for insurance requirements so that if there is an injury or problem the location can be pinned down as close as possible, and patrollers...

Cascade was open this week too. But, unfortunately, the website shows 6 runs open, and they are charging full pop but only 2 runs are open, 1 the small beginner run. I went with 4 teens last night, with tickets and supper it was a lot of $ for what they had. First outing of the year for all...

It's not such a bad problem when there is enough early snow to outstrip an hill's ramp-up plan.

Kep 'em a bit off balance, it never hurts!

Neat, my 16 year is a speedy one, it would be fun to see how he handles an oval.
