Paula, I'll probably ski at Prospect tomorrow anyway.  They have a much better chance of staying below freezing at their high elevation.  Also, Prospect's web site now claims 20+K open and "Excellent" conditions.

I checked Prospect -- only 10k open. Any folks up for a ride to Western Mass. tomorrow, Sunday? I've never been to Northfield, but I hear it is a good place to ski. We can meet early for breakfast and car pool. I am open to other suggestions. Maybe they are getting some more snow today. I 've only been cross country skiing once this year ..... I need to get on those skis!
