Just saw this on the news, anybody taking advantage? Urban, backyard sesh, maybe a little hiking? I also heard it'll be up to 90 degrees the next couple days, damn global warming delivers some crazy weather.

If you are setting up some back yard rail with 36" of snow you should be fucking shot.

What is skiing coming to?

And yet pundits will still say that global warming doesn't exist... although scientists said years ago that extreme and varying weather like this would start occurring...

And the catskills peaks! I hiked panther mtn yesterday and above ~3100 ft is where the snow started.. by the top it was def 8"plus..

The weather is always crazy, two years ago we got snow on Halloween. Doesn't mean global warming is happening excessively, not the first count of snow this late in May ever..

Angel slide zone and many others nearby in the Daks are actually pretty good. Though I dunno if a single storm makes it worth the while. I'd be setting up jibs back there...

As it is I don't need to worry about that. I skied a couple corn cycle lines off the tram in Jackson this weekend (just re-opened for summer ops). /claim

No. What I'm saying is their are examples of crazy weather every season; however, people jump straight to conclusions and shout "global warming".

If I had a small dick I would troll the NSG looking to call people kids to compensate for my lack of manly shit to say.

I'm almost 24 just so you know how off you are..

I was in the central adirondacks, an hour north of Lake George, at around 1900ft. Mostly rain, but some of the mountains did have snow on top today.

Y'know what? The negative bullshit in this thread is too much. Snwbrdmilf and I just hoofed it all the way to Jay and slayed multiple laps on fkn 20" of fresh Sunday so you shit talkers can shut it. I'm starting a thread just so you naysayers can chew on some big fat stfu.

It snowed a shitload on the EC in a few select places and if you were ready you got it. Plain and simple. Also yes, the Daks have some of the sickest BC in the NE. Wild peaks and lots of raw and sketchy slide paths that are STEEP AS FUCK.. If you don't know that, I'd have to assume you're either living elsewhere or you have your head up your ass.


This was me Sunday.

When we got there, the snow was within a short walk (couple hundred feet maybe?) of the tram house and it was snowing hard but by the time we skied down to end the day about the lower 1/4 of the mountain was POURING rain so the snow was beyond mank. Like Elmer's glue turns below the cloud line.

The top was really, REALLY good though. Deep, surfy, soft and not grabby or too wet at all. It was crazy how much it felt like the middle of winter up there, then once we came down it was summer again.

I am getting my buddy's flikr account info who took all the pics, once I have his links I'll make a thread and share all the goodies with you guys. Sorry for the bitchiness but I can't stand it when people talk about touring like it's impossible, or you have to be an unwashed hermit living in a teepee in the woods to make it happen. Not true. Anyone can do it if they aren't into making excuses for themselves. :)

Thanks man, was definitely fun and I love a good road trip. I'll be around, so when the snow flies again hit me up and we can get up for some turns!

Also I lied, I made a News article about the trip instead of a thread. Linky:

just because it exists does not mean it is the reason for every strange weather occurrence. but everyone is an environmental scientist these days.

Crazy? Yes. Direct cause of global climate change? Probably not. There are a ton of factors that play into storms like this. In 2002, Albany got like 3 inches in May, after a 91 degree day in April that same year. In '89, Buffalo got 8 inches on May 7th. And that's not limited to high elevations like this past weekend was. It happens.

It's pretty crazy in Europe as well. A few resorts in France have decided to open again this week end when usually they close for good in early april. Also Verbier might open again this week-end since they're supposed to get 1 meter of snow at the top. Fingers crossed, I might go if they do. That winter was of epic proportions here, and I won't complain.

Not just white face.. I hiked panther mtn in the catskill range and everywhere above ~3100ft had traces of snow on Sunday and above 3500 was full on snow, it was hard to tell how much since it started melting already.. def >8in though... all the other peaks in view were snow capped..
