This is about as good as it gets – the only thing that could have made it better was a bigger dump of snow on the downstate region. But there’s more hope in the coming week.

Fahnestock is skiable, although with some thin cover in the woods, but Canopus lake is open for skiing and that’s at treat. High Point, Minnewaska, and Mohonk are all in good shape. If you’ve got Lincoln’s brithday off, take an easy day trip ton one of those.

How’s the skiing in general?

Great weather, great snow. Nothing much more to say. BETA report of 2/7 says: “We’ve got snow, go out and ski wherever you like.”. After Sunday it’s even more true. Your President’s Day weekend is looking pretty good from here.

Hit up ‘State of the touring centers‘ or in the menu above for reported conditions as of today. Snow depth graphic below:

The depth downstate wasn’t quite as much as was predicted, but we’ll take it.

Forecast

No less that four chances for snow in the northeast during the upcoming week ending with Valentine’s Day and the President’s Day weekend. Weathjer downstate looks to be a bit warmer than before, but pretty normal for winter in these parts. Here’s the brief in bullets:

• Lingering light snow Sunday night across northern NY State and New England. Lake effect snow across northern NY State continues into Monday. Some gusts in the far north up to 30+mph, but winds light overall.
• Tuesday night a system crosses to the south of the NYC metro area, and the downstate region could catch some snow in the overnight period, probably not more than an inch or two.
• Immediately after, a third system brings rain and wintry mix to much of the northeast for Wednesday, with some snow as well. Best chances for the precipitation to remain all snow are in the far north. This system will last into Thursday and clear out overnight into Friday and could deliver moderate snow accumulation. Wind gusts for Thursday into Friday up to 25mph north of the Hudson Highlands and CT-MA border.
• Yet another period of snow could happen over the weekend, from Saturday into Sunday. Forecasts are vague at this time but this may be the longest duration event of the next seven days.
