TUESDAY AM UPDATE
So far reported totals are in the 10-12 range. No doubt in my mind that another 6-8 inches of snow will fall (or more) before this low drags off to the east wednesday night into thursday am.
So …

Yesterday, we came up with the great and totally juvenile idea to write this post and load it with sexually laced puns, double entendres related to balls, and a smattering of blatant dick jokes. But since our moms read …

As I type this a warm Tropical Depression is eating away at our awesome NE snowpack with some vicious southerly winds. So, you’re probably wondering what to do now. We suggest you do the same …

Here’s a little ditty about (Jack and Diane) a crew of exceptional powder skiers, beard-encrusted comedians, and friends of a higher order.
I’m writing this ditty myself, because when I remember back to my favorite days of skiing, I certainly remember …

Every 4 years the world is blessed with an extra day of winter. (Edit per Dr. Petrics: every four years the world is blessed with an extra day of winter UNLESS that year is also divisible by 400 in which …

I have to be honest, there were big plans (read: it was written, and ready to be published) behind the many closed doors of FIS to call this VTah Episode VI: Return of the SHREDi. We would start with a …

Have fun this weekend?
I did. I also got in a fight over Shot-Bloks but that’s a story for another time. (FYI don’t touch G’s Shot-Bloks.)
So quick and dirty- more snow might be on the way. here are “Lionel’s Quick Thoughts”:
Today …

UPDATE – FRIDAY 5:30 AM
Looking at the latest models I’d say that the heaviest snow will not break out until later in the day today.   We’re still looking at an additional 8-16 inches of snow across the hills of …

Yea. I know. It might actually like snow in Utah. In brief, on saturday, a storm will dive southwest out of oregon and Washington and move through the northen section of the beehive state. It will push a cold …

Well, earlier in the week I wrote that a dual low system would affect Northern NY, VT and NH on friday. And that’s still true. Looking at the system it’s fairly clear that we’ll see a broad area of …

That’s right, among other things, FIS is now the home of Vermont’s Most Eligible Bachelor, according to Seven Days. When he’s not busy studying the weather to get you the information you need to find the snow you want, Lionel …

After a Lazy Sunday, we all had to buckle down for a busy Monday.

Ain’t gonna get dun itself. So we’re gonna have two git er dun…

…AND GIT SUM!

Thanks for readin FIS! Pray that Lionel’s Dream #59 bears fruits of powder …

On friday night I had a dream. In my dream I was watching a southern stream low move through Conn with a central pressure around 996 MB. I remember distinctly the date. February 6th. I was in Austria and was …

I can’t believe it’s January 15th, and I haven’t written one exciting storm forecast for Utah or the entire west. That’s impressive. Espically so since I sorta expected this winter to be above average (after a very slow …

Friday Jan 13th 5pm Update
Ok Act III. Upslope snow over next 12 hours will be the story of this storm. We’ve gotten between 5-8 inches of cumulative snow since Easy started with a few pockets of more. It has fallen …

People often ask us: “how does one go about famous internet skiing?” Well, today all of your questions will be answered. You see, this past weekend–lucky for you–the cameras were rolling, documenting the madness behind the schuss(ic).
Q: How do …

Every non-skiing plan made during the winter months requires a “Pow Clause,” which, if you have never heard of such a thing before, governs the amount of snow that must fall from the sky so as to render said non-skiing …

The Delta Force is a special detail of the United States Army composed of a lot of very serious, very skilled and very deadly people. They are trained to accomplish missions the rest of us want no part in. …

Been a bit warm around these parts. Or so I’ve heard. I’ve been too busy sacrificing goats and virgins to Ullr to pay attention. And maybe it worked out as it looks like we’ll have the return to a more …

About this time every year, or so it seems, the skier in all of us starts to get antsy. We’ve had a taste, we’re tired of hiking and we’re ready to ski. Amazingly in a completely unrelated phenomenon …

Going to make this short, clear and to the damn point. Last week in my write up I alluded to the potential for large coastal development. The European model hit this solution and stuck with for a few …

You know what’s awesome? Houses that give out full size candy bars on Halloween. It’s like the homeowners’ are saying to the rest of neighborhood: “Paul did well this year, and you know what, here’s our middle finger. We’re …

Just as Lionel’s Winter Outlook is a big cue that the 2011/2012 East Coast ski season is about to put its tips up and get ready to schuss (the PNW and Utah seasons, of course, have already started), Chris Nelson, …

Well the time has come for the LionelHutz official 2011-2012 winter outlook.  I put a lot of work into this and I hope you enjoy it.
