Re: Snow?
It was warm up here today, but there is certainly snow on the ski mountains, my drive way, and my yard.....last weekend even with snow on the hiking trails, I was able to go w/o snowshoes for much of the way up since the trails were so hard packed from all the activity on them.....ice climbing conditions on the other hand, eh, I've seen better....

Re: Snow?
no we'd rather not encounter ice. My friend needs at least a foot or more snow in order to ski. If there isn't enough he'll scratch up his skiis to much on the rocks. We're not planning on going to a maintained slope either, probably a back country trail.

Re: Snow?
Yah I stayed home and was working on a video from my last hike. 30 hours and it's almost done!
Anyways my buddy went up to Bellayre cause he has a pass there and he said it was all just wet slush, and he didn't see enough snow anywhere beside the slopes.
Guess we're gonna have to wait for another good snowstorm. Where's one of those Nor'easters when you want one?

Re: Snow?
Not much snow right now. Maybe 1-6" depending on where you are. Maybe tomorrow we'll get some more. We do need more snow.

Re: Snow?
^ I hear yah Wolfie. It was pretty nice 3 weeks ago, or was it four? Shortly after Christmas we had that awesome storm, but it got blasted away by the warm weather two weeks ago.
Two days ago I climbed Lone/Rocky and there was some moderately deep snow once we left the fisherman's path, but nothing knee/hip deep. The new "norm" is unfortunate!

Re: Snow?
It looks like the Catskills will finally get a big snow storm. Suppose to be 10 to 18 inches of snow where I am a couple hours south, so I'm hoping for similar numbers in the Catskills. Hopefully I will finally get a chance to use my new Snowshoes.
