RC: Sherburn Sun. 11/28

[Skilasnow]

Ski&Ride and I are planning to hike and ski Sherburn, maybe even Tucks, Left Gulley sounds skiable by RR's report, this Sunday. We have alternate plans, conditions determining, to ski *****cat, Attitrash, or Someday Bigger, or Cannon.

El Bagr has expessed interest as has Rainman, and I suspect a few other Brettl Hupfers might join the fun, ...

We will have our radios tuned to 9:14. Post here if you are concidering, Left Gulley sounds good and Sherburn should be skiable untill the switchbacks level.

Manny Ramierez is supposed to be in Nashua, but it's a $300 ticket to get his autograph so I might say screw that - dunno if I can tear away from the in-law-fun though.

Put me down for 13%

hummm, weather for Sunday doesn't look frightful, but it looks wet with very slick surfaces and a wash-off retreat of the snowline to the Cache on Sherborne. I think you will be picking your way quite a bit if the below holds true. Sometimes I am able to hold out for a silverlining to such forcasts...not this time. It looks like there might be a decent dry-up in the waning daylght hours of Sunday afternoon, but that's the best I could hope for..as a long shot.

Here's what WUnderground says about the Summit Forcast!
Thursday

S&R and I are skiing somewhere on Sunday. Sherburn trip looking less than fantastic, maybe Someday Bigger instead

I figured that Sunday River was probably going to be a block of ice today. So I'm going tomorrow (Saturday 11-27) instead.

Sunday will be much warmer, you'll probably be dealing with some wet, grippy snow.

Anyone who's going up tomorrow, don't hesitate to PM me!

I hiked up Lafayette from the Cannon Tram parking lot. I'll post a bit of a TR in the appropriate location, but Cannon is quite closedad; in fact, no snow-making was happening there today, quite odd :confused: .

In the Franconia Range the combination of warm temps and rain yesterday followed by colder weather today has resulted in ..........(fill in the blank). Yes, its seems to be Loose Granular time. Hopefully there are places that are better, or where conditions will improve by Sunday. I would love to join but am doing all-day hockey coach training on Sunday.
