Mid-Atlantic Mid-Atlantic Conditions, Resorts, Meet-ups, and Stoke! 2018/2019

Spreading out the snowmaking over time. Last year, there were several extended cold spells, but they had to stop snowmaking during some of those periods since they ran out of H20.

I got that from your first post, I'm just wondering what CVR's practices can tell us about the current ground temps in the Valley - 'coz those temps will be hyper important both to keep CVR from turning into sheet ice and for Whitegrass to get white off what's coming.

And yes, I know CVR tends to spread their first batch of made snow over warm ground just to make things look pretty on the webcams.

Camelback fired the guns up today.

They appear to be doing some work near Sullivan quad base and are blowing over on Laurel Glade and Meadows along with King Tut. Almost as if they are trying to get Baily Chair open before Sullivan.

It could be the push we need or it could be a wash that's been typical. Tune in to find out. I'll be on Laurel picking up sticks. Too bad I sold my AT stuff at 7S last week. I got to pick up unsold stuff at the Springs on Saturday too. I''l take my skis just in case.

Hunter is opening this Saturday. I guess it's time to tune some skis.

Never sure if this belongs here or in the North East.

Since it's good news, I'll post it twice.

Big Boulder is opening this Friday and will be open for the weekend!

Officially according to the region tags that go on the threads, New York is in the Mid-Atlantic, and the "Northeast" is New England and Eastern Canada.

While I'm not going to complain and am glad we have a place to talk about our region I sort of agree with this statement for northeast PA and NY state. 7 Springs, Wisp and the VA and WV areas (all Mid Atlantic areas) are farther away from here then the Northern New England, areas and we certainly are not considered to be a part of that region. My feeling is that the Pocono's, Catskills and Berkshire's are more of representative of our region then either the northern New England or Mid Atlantic areas of western PA, WV and Va.

I agree with you @4aprice ... but then there's this :

From this thread : https://www.pugski.com/threads/please-read-welcome-to-the-updated-resort-forum.5729/

I actually thought we had one "Northeast" tag that included eastern Canada and New England... bu looks like there're two different ones.

And this : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_(United_States)

The map is silly and I can prove it: Marble Mountain is not in Eastern Canada.

Yeah - apparently it's not anywhere... neither is Ober Gatlinburg nor Cloundmont.

I completely agree with this, especially from a cultural standpoint. I grew up in NEPA and that part of the state def feels more the "North East".

Yea I get the definitions, just don't necessarily agree with them. It's all just grist for the ever grinding mill anyways (and something to have a little fun with). My own 4aprice regions would have the Adacks with Northern New England, Berkshires (and Litchfield Hills of Ct) with the Cats and Pokes. Places in NY State west of 81 could stay with the Mid Atlantic areas. I would really mess up the map wouldn't I?

You guys have it so good. I remember as a kid, we were happy if Camelback opened 12/24...To be open by Thanksgiving...let alone before was unheard of.

Good? Some of us are still stuck skiing at Camelback.

More of a wash then a boost but still on track to open Thanksgiving.

How long have you been suffering from these terrible conditions? Thanksgiving with a WROD is enough to be thankful here, I guess.

Just barely not cold enough of an air mass? Or ground too warm?

It must be different than down here or Alpine/Tyrol would be white.

The sow line appears to be east of the Laurel Ridge. Yinz guys in DC should be seeing flurries. Rain and sleet here just north of Paris on the Point. It looks likes snow on the ground in DC CNN feed.

Oh, it's wet and sticking down here. Too wet to ski into the office tho.

The snow is piling up outside my office in Wilmington, DE. I wouldn't mind so much if I could go skiing and didn't have such a steep hill to drive up to get to my sub-division.
