Yes it looked like it was just shedding to me

Eek... That's rather gnarly

Spring melt bringing visitors

The Moose are back!

Driving to Conway. Still a solid foot + in the Notch. I'm so glad I live higher up lol

A couple of pictures. First one is one of our trails. I now that with a John Deere lol. You can see the debris from the old flood. To the right it’s normally a 5-6 foot bank. The area below is right by where I tap the maples; the river had just breached here so I could literally see the water pouring in. The great news - almost completely snow free now!

Exactly my thinking. It’s at about 8 feet today, and there was anywhere between a foot and 3 feet water in my yard in 2017. Above 10 ft is when trouble starts. I’ve started flood proofing everything - all generators are now raised, and my new house that I’m building is about 2 feet higher than the water line from that flood. Still nerve wrecking when it happens though.

Yes. I’ve been watching the river go over its banks at my property, actually very interesting to watch. Doesn’t seem to be rising anymore. Most sections are right at the top of the bank, which is generally a 6 foot or so cliff. The beach areas are of course completely unreachable. Gave me a better sense of where the river breaches. Another 2 feet or so and it would be at the house.

It's been a fantastic season. The glades did not close once from Thanksgiving to closing day - that's remarkable for no snowmaking trails with lots of natural obstacles (rocks and logs) that need to be buried for them to be open. As most places, however, the past few weeks have seen a huge dropoff in skiers - even with the great conditions. The few that came up loved it - great conditions and no crowds! But it's hard to justify from a business perspective. Granted, conditions got destroyed this weekend anyways!

No, Monday was the last day. They've actually plowed a bunch of the trails now to continue construction on the new gondola.

Same here. Just drove by the ski resort and there is a torrent pouring out of the snowcat entrance to the trails. Looks like the worst of the rain has moved out, we'll see how the river responds. It's just about bankfull now, another 4 feet in rise and I'm toast.

About 2 miles downstream. That's Upper Falls, a local cliff diving hangout

I know. Anxiety level is high! I’m hoping for some downsloping to decrease the intensity a bit but it’s going to be a rough afternoon

The Ammo is roaring. A tree trunk made its way down as we were watching, sounded like thunder. No flooding yet but that could quickly change this afternoon.

55/44 here. Feels fantastic!
