A measured 1.5 at 1850’ at 11pm from the clipper. Lull from 10pm on, but starting to pick up slightly as the upslope takes over. .

“This is jay peak. It’s the snowiest spot in the east, period. We’ve gotten a shit ton of snow. There’s a shit ton at 1800 ft, there’s a larger shit ton at 4000 ft. It has been snowing a lot, and it’s been really windy and there’s a shit ton of snow. In some spots, there’s 4 feet, in some spots there’s a foot. Wherever you ski, there’s a shit ton of snow” I think this would be a more effective snow report and prevent the endless debates over what we all know is a shit ton of snow, skewed heavy due to obvious marketing embellishments and lack of precise measurements when numerical values are put on it. .

Perfect temps and no superstar to build this year has let them go wild. Being able to blow multiple nights at 2000 ft also probably helped. .

#1 for this date all time and with lots more on the way, not even close… .

I’m not there but it’s snowing pretty good right now from what a few friends tell me. Webcam no help, but you can see it’s getting blown all around and must have come down decent for a while, as that’s from today. .

Next week is setting up to be another incredible upslope week. Just really starting to enter unprecedented territory for this time of year in the northern greens. From a skier prospective, it looks like a big have vs. have nots in vt. The difference in the totals for the jay/stowe/smuggs/bolton corridor vs. killington south looks dramatic. .

What a snowmaking window as far as the eye can see. Light em up tonight and it’s off to the races. Lots of chances for natural and great temps. Could be a real nice start to the season. .

Jay on since yesterday… .

It was grapple all day; nothing spectacular…started dumping right around last chair. Very firm on groomers, woods had enough fresh to make them decent…only Bonnie from lunch on. The glades off power line and upper milk run were very good, but keep your eyes open as there’s stuff popping up. tmrw will be good. Tons of base for mid April. If you remember that it’s mid April, it should be a great day. .

Man, “decent” and “respectable” for wintery vibe is the best you can come up with, lol. It hadn’t rained in 2 +- months, no thaws, BN temps and number 6 out of the last 70 years in terms of snowfall with refreshes every 2-3 days. Total snowfall somewhere between 300-400” in the northern greens with more than half of March to go. I’d go with outstanding winter for northern Vermont. .

Here’s the extra 8 feet…drifts burying the street lights. Please no more jay slant sticking talk. I wish they would just report, see pf’s report and add 10-20 percent, lol. .

Cant stop, wont stop…dumping snow again… .

I think they’ve been blowing the canyon to do late season. .

Jay had a deal for first time skiers earlier this year...4 free lessons, 4 free rentals, free beginner day pass for the day of the lesson and a free season pass once you completed all the lessons. Goal was to get kids involved in the sport.

Skiing in the northern greens is as good as it gets right now…

Some of the best skiing you can imagine right now. Just day after day of incredible powder and packed powder. The snow consistency is perfect right now… .

So friggin good right now…entire northeast is at the mountain tho.. .

Hmmmm….not bad. .

Just checked the Mansfield stake site to see how this winter compares and only 2018 saw more snow at the Mansfield stake as of this day since 1986...quite a run this winter with more on the way.

Can’t use the pf garbage can trick if you can’t see it..getting deep again Should have the deck disappear after the next couple rounds… .

It’s going to get fun in feb. Hang on for the Highs and lows of model watching. Going to be plenty of negativity when some of those don’t work, but looking back at the month as a whole on March 1st, I bet everyone gets in on something from nyc-nne. .

Not even close...but back out the first 3 days of Jan, and it's a decent negative departure at a lot of sites, compared to some plus 5-8 over the last 15 years. It's def felt cold and windy for me both in Jay and in NJ. I'm sure the -6 in 2009 would have been fun.

This cold seems to have the mountains way ahead of snow making schedule. I know Jay has pretty much finished every trail they would blow, and has started going for round 2 on a few. I would think the only hang up is for a trail like the jet that you want to go into may with, you would probably want to do the second round in late Feb, not late Jan. But should have some great depths heading into spring this year.

Snowy week incoming…northern greens should clean up with the upslope machine back in action big time… .

Actually, he’s in New Orleans right now reporting that 1899 was way better. .
