    It’s probably pretty close, even for jay slant sticking. Taking into account fallen vs on the ground depth a few days later…Really impressive cycle since thanksgiving, but more importantly, a week straight of solid snowmaking this is at 1900’…. .

    Meanwhile… .

    If anyone has the means to get there, can’t stress enough how good the skiing is at Jay right now…ski right on to the lift, all of stateside off the jet and there are some woods in play, maybe more today with it still snowing. It’s mid winter powder and packed powder. If they get the Bonnie running by the weekend once they wrap up snowmaking at the base and unload, almost the whole mountain will be accessible with a little hiking. Wouldn’t be shocked to see the tram either. It’s really good. .

    I’m far from an expert, but my experience is radar will never show what’s going on in this area well. It’s all about the flow…it’s been snowing almost non stop for 3 days here and very little shows up. If bands are approaching the orleans county border, we’re usually snowing well. .

    Storm cycle total..should fire up again tnrw, but I figured I’d call this for thanksgiving through last night, since today is mostly just occasional flurries. The upslope far outperformed the storm system itself… .

    It was absolutely incredible today. Hard to believe it was November. Snowed all day, almost every rope dropped on stateside off the jet, and was even able to dip in some woods…really good skiing. Can’t remember the last time I stayed out til last chair this early… .

    1. I am a snow weenie. 2. Pic is about an hour ago..It’s nuking in my opinion, but I get it..currently .
  8. bwt3650
    Nuking snow again…4-6 so far and natural ropes dropping.. .

    Just let up, but was dumping snow the last two hours..cold, winter vibe here. .

    Nice opening day..not too often it’s only jay and killington. Snow was very good above 2500’, more typical machine groomed stuff below. Opened a few natural trails with some great snow too… .

    Gfs has been consistent with this band hitting the northern greens tnrw night for several runs now.. .
  12. bwt3650
    Completely agree. Gfs seems to lock onto these patterns best from a few days out. If this was mid winter and lots of terrain was open, this would be the pattern that makes this area special with daily refills of 3-4” every morning to keep things skiing great. The temps mean local ski areas should be able to do some major expansion fast. It looks like a late, but promising start! .

    Starting to pick up…wet, snowball snow even up here. 1-2” elevation dependent…dog is happy with it. .
  14. bwt3650
    No real intensity up here yet..probably an inch down. .
  15. bwt3650
    Happy Thanksgiving…light snow, coating down and snow guns blasting in the distance. .
  16. bwt3650
    Lots of bread and butter post storm too! .
  17. bwt3650
    Has the rise from the ashes begun? .
  18. bwt3650
    Hoping for days and days of upslope that has been missing the last couple years...Looks promising

    Ha...I've been watching this trend from mood flakes to something that might actually make the weekend more than just a death ribbon. Not far from being in the game up here and I bet the flow keeps it snowy most of the weekend into next week for us. 3-6 would be a game changer for opening weekend conditions.
  20. bwt3650
    Ha; It'll be over by race time, but Killington sure looks like a sweet spot as of right now. They'll be hosing down the course with all that fresh snow. I would never be able to ski Superstar that day with how icy they like it.
  21. bwt3650
    Congrats VT Ski areas? Though it looks like the good stuff will be south of PF and me toward Stratton/Killington. Maybe with a little upslope bonus we get to 6, which is a win.
  22. bwt3650
    I like it...but in all seriousness, I think some are just raising the point that there is a decent window of opportunity coming right at a time when most want to see winter start, and its been a while. It's more the pushback against the "no frost til Christmas, new normal, cold and dry, stein forever" stuff. I don't think anyone past 4th grade takes those clowns seriously...even my 7th grader sees something on social media and is like "dad, don't they get it's a clown map"
  23. bwt3650
    Ehh..after the run of AN December’s, would it be terrible if we just put a couple inches down and it lasted a few weeks while we wait for something to materialize? This is what’s been missing for a while and what everyone remembers as yore. I’ll roll the dice with a consistent cold. .
  24. bwt3650
    You do need cold for snow. .
  25. bwt3650
    Who are you? But glad to have you. .
