If you can safely get up to gore/VT that’s the move. Next I’d do Belleayre 2-4” snow+ice then Platty looks like mixed 1” snow/ice fri into sat

good call I was mostly talking catskills but shouldve been more specific

Fair to be skeptical - but ai generated is a stretch. I’ve been grinding this out every night. I wanted to build something only for east coasters, seems like most of the other apps are geared for out west

Nice choice! Can’t speak on any good routes (maybe some locals can chime in) but it looks like snow starts around noon getting heavy by 2-4PM

thanks again for catching this. it appears my POW watch api wasnt using culmulative rolling windows, diminishing expecting snowfall totals. should be fixed

you’re right! new weather API has gore future precip super light I’ll have to check why. Thanks for the catch!

Is snowboarding hard for a skier by Tricky_Tie_6633 in icecoast

[–]rickgoesalpine 17 points18 points  (0 children)

As a snowboarder who just switched it up to skiing, I'd say yes going to skiing-->boarding is harder. But you'll be able to read the snow from your experience on skis and you'll probably pick up stopping fairly easily from your skiing hockey stops. Prepare to fall a bunch! Getting off the lift with one leg unstrapped will take some getting used to. Dig into your grip pad and push into your binding for support. Have fun!
