This is a quick update for subscribers in order to help dial in the precipitation on Saturday, the wind hold forecasts by lift and hour for both Saturday and Sunday, and the refreeze on Sunday morning.
Before I start let me point out a few things. Whiteface has not yet provided operational details for this weekend but I suspect at least Cloudsplitter and Summit and maybe Facelift and Lookout. Loon is only planning on running their gondola which is their most wind prone lift and I'm assuming that as a backup plan they may run just Seven Brothers though it's not clear if that lift or others have been mothballed yet for the season or if they have the staff to run two lifts to maintain summit access in the absence of the gondola. I don't have a contact at Loon and I did reach out through Facebook but have not heard back from them yet. Lastly, Sunday River is using Spruce as their connecting lift to get you from Barker to Jordan and if that lift is down they have shuttles that will run. Getting from Jordan to Barker doesn't require that lift however.
