> [@Blue Eyed Devil](#): > > Buffalo News article titled “Global Warming in Ellicottville?” and under the picture it says The slopes of Holiday Valley lack their usual abundance of snow. Really? By December 9th they usually have an “abundance” of snow? Hmmm. Mud boarding kicks ass! Its still a little early… let not get to down in the dumps yet. ---

I was out yesterday again… Sat dumped almost a foot and a half at the resort I normally go to (Brighton). Was great until my calves started cramping to hell (which they still are tight and sore as fuck). ---

> [@yamba6](#): > > Looks like my planning for Killington is pulling together for the end of January. Nice. Still trying to come out my way in March? other topic - I had a shop do a tune-up on my board pre-season… whatever wax they use, SUCKED. Was gone in a single day of riding, normally when I do my own I can get 2-3 solid days before I start noticing “I’m getting a little slow”. No more work at shops other than if my board needs a base grind. I hit that powder on Sunday, and it was like hitting a brick wall, my board just would NOT go through it nicely. ---

The rack keeps the base of the board cold too. You won’t get that sticking feeling on your first few runs down the mountain while the base and board cool down from being in the car. Get a rack yam! ---

You won’t get that sticking feeling on your first few runs down the mountain while the base and board cool down from being in the car. Get a rack yam! Yeah, I’ll have to look for one. I usually take my board out the second I get there and throw it base down on snow. > [@deebo](#): > > not worth 45bucks lol. last year opening day was like 24$ wtf > it sucks it’s supposed to be 50\* until christmas during the day it seems Next week is showing mostly mid to low 30s. Looking better for next week actually. By next weekend, they will probably have a bunch of other runs open. I know they are really shooting a lot to get sunrise open and usually tannanbaum as well. As long as the conditions hold up over the weekend, expect more by next weekend. ---

We’re getting pounded out here… 2’+ in 24 hrs at some resorts, and it’s forecast to continue steady for the next 3 days. Looks like it might be a good season this year.
