I spoke too soon..6-8 at the top. Skiing really well above 2500-2700’ or so. Bottom. 1/3 is heavy quad burning. Besides the fog, upper mountain is sweet. .

2” at 1900’ and light snow..under performer. .

Snow level is about 2300’ currently. .

Even 35 and rain on sat isn’t a pack destroyer and if we get the surface back Monday, I’d sign up in a heartbeat to get the Rainer/thaw out of the way. .

That’s a snowy week ahead for NNE as modeled with some major upslope in there early in the week if it pans out. Would set the resorts up real well for MLK. .

Completely addicting and a great way to get outside and stay in shape in the winter when everyone else is stuck inside getting fat. First time out will suck, second time you’ll question if it’s worth it, third time you’ll be hooked for life. And if you love snow, it adds a whole new dimension to that passion. Shameless plug for my spot, but every year preseason Jay offers a deal for $199, you get 4 lessons, 4 rentals, 4 lift tix and a season pass once you complete the 4 lessons for $199. They also give away that package free to the first 50 or 100 people. And I’ve had friends who have gotten it free, so it’s not just a gimmick. Jump in…never too old! .

There’s actually pockets of the woods that are ok…but the traffic and wind has done its thing on a lot. I still try and remember that it wasn’t too long ago this week was 10 snowmaking trails and a muddy backyard, so I’ll take it. All lifts were running the last two days, so short life lines and the trail count was favorable. I’d like to see weds trend colder with a decent upslope afterward so we can get a good thurs/fri before the rain. Seems like long range has been trending better so maybe the warm up is short lived. It def wants to snow this year. .

Single digit, snow covered, breezy deep winter new years weekend. Exactly how it should be in northern Vermont. .

Was Snowing hard here at 5am. Potent, but short lived. You might have done a bit better in this one. Eyeballing I’d say 4” here. .

They just replaced the cabins and did maintenance. I think a new storage facility too. .

Surface, bad. Pack…just fine and still well above normal here. Don’t think tonight and tnrw will fix the surface as much as once thought, but by mid week, back in business…at least for jay. .

Back to snow and dumping…about a half inch so far, but the re-whitening begins. Pack is just fine here. .

The gfs has done an outstanding job of sniffing out these storm cycles this year. When I’ve seen that darker blue precip shield sitting over the northern greens for 18-24 hours on a nw flow flow show up for 3-4 runs in a row, you can almost lock in an 18” upslope party every time so far this year. Even at a 3-4 day lead time. .

Don’t know anything specific about spots like domey’s, but 242 was packed all day. There’s two freeze cycles underneath about 12-18 so I think it would be good to go. .

Figured snow pictures were better than window ac and climate change talk, lol. .

Dumping snow again.. .

Has to be great for the local economy up here to get off to such a stellar start .

It’s insane..unbelievable for November…skis almost touching the snow on the Jet lift .

Yeah, it’s still going here. Wind picking up too. We’re probably 2-3” ahead of you. Nice event to fix what could have been a disaster on the slopes. .

It was more like 2.5-3 overnight here…stopped at some point then started back up around 730am. 5” measured since 930 when it was shoveled. It is really good out there. Last year thanksgiving weekend was best in years, but this is better… .

Dumping snow since 9am .

Enough mood flakes for a white Thanksgiving… .

Flipping over to snow…maybe a quick inch before it shuts off? .

Stowe…foggy af early on, but best November 24th I’ve ever skied. Upper mountain was good! .

Upslope was a dud..probably about 3” total..big difference from valleys near jay like Montgomery and Stowe village at 750’ in snow cover. Mansfield is in good shape tho, but can’t see shit at the top. .
