http://www.timefortuckerman.com/forums/images/smilies/schlitz.gif Anyone up for Doing Jay on Sat/Sun this weekend? I'm taking a bet that magical Jay Cloud will produce some goods over the next few days.

Mind you, it's supposed to get VERY cold on Saturday.

Wildscottsman and I are getting a room up there somewhere to save time on driving for Sat night. ANy others willing to share the room are welcome.

edit: Face it... I'm really feelin the jones for some good alpine skiing!

:)Hey... maybe we could meet up and ski a few runs? I know some sleepy glades that hopefully haven't been too abused lately.

Jay's gonna be bulletproof this weekend, weather's been sucking hard since tuesday night. :cry: THe mountain got plenty of coverage but the rain/freeze is gonna make it a very, very, very hard surface this weekend.

Dave/Jay, VTWow..... after reading Affix's post on Astro's Mt. Wash 2/18 thread about the winds AND your post..... I think I might shoot myself! (just kidding)

I feel like Nancy Kerrigan after getting wapped in the knees....

Hey PWDR8S, if you're not committed. Take off to the great white north.

Jay was OK this past weekend. I would say BJ needs another foot or so. All upper mtn glades were doable, some better than others. I got spun by some pucker and ended my day early on sunday. There is a NASTY ice crust under those freshies. Watch out acl tearing drainages down low specifically while entering/exiting lower mtn glades & fallen trees not covered by this years weak snowpack.

Thanks for the input.... I got all hot n bothered looking at the photo's of the day over the past few days that I really got the jones. I'll rethink the Jay plans now.

Very good notes Phishing... Wildscottsman would def not want to add anymore damage to his ACL just for a few flakes.

It's been pretty much snowing on the mountain since the precip began today. Rain just turned to snow at my place, 1 mile from the gate. SO the weekend might not be a wash/freeze after all. Forecasters agree that it will be -0F, so dress warm.

Unless the weather changes (again!), I'll be skinning up the longtrail to the peak at pre-dawn on Sat, one run down the vermonter and then try a few laps at the nearby no-lift mountain. There was plenty of snow this week, but I don't how well it held up during the Wednesday afternoon- Thursday morning thaw.

If I can, I'll probably have the same agenda on Sunday. Have fun.
