Happy to report that the ski trails fared the storm really well. Even all natural terrain and glades are still in good shape with some decent powder stashes from the few inches we got overnight.

Ripping out there
-
Some heavy squalls coming through

I’m in Bretton Woods. I mean, it may be a disaster but there’s more snow on the ground than last year at this point with more on the way. At least here and we usually bear the brunt of cutters compared to low lying areas. Haven’t really looked at Tuesday and honestly I doubt anyone really knows. Still 4 days away! All I’d say is - there will be a bit more snow than now
-
Wild storm here. Definitely overperformed; the wind was crazy, and we had power outages all over the area. Just got my internet back an hour ago. Pack down to 5" in my yard, but you drive a mile down the road and it's been wiped out completely. Back to snow now at 34F
-
51F. Wind is screaming and so is the snowpack!
-
Yikes, current P&C has about 1.5” of rain for tomorrow. Keeps going up
-
Looks juicy for the Western Alps where I’ll be for the holidays. Hope it’s right. Skiing in the Alps in December can be a gamble.

Oh yeah I dont think it will get wiped; but I also have seen it go either way. I’ve seen cutters end up with a net gain, I’ve seen them overperform and wipe a healthy pack out. This area is very prone to warming when there’s a wind from the SE, I’m sure it will be close to 59 for a while. How long that happens for and how much rain we get will determine what’s left when the rain stops. How much snow we get on the backside will determine the rest of the equation. Stake is currently at 12” after the compaction

Looks like we’re in for a good pack wiping up here
-
Depends on who you ask. My kids will gladly wear shorts to school in negative single digit temps. They’re essentially feral.
-
My stake is up to 14”. I think it’s more than all winter last year lol
-
Yeah, a bit of water could actually help. Found myself on a cutoff today where you had to push, and the pole just sink all the way down, making it really hard to push. Some heavier base would give more support. On the flip side, the powder is amazing and the resort hasn’t bother grooming half the trails yet, so it’s a lot of fun
-
Fingers crossed! At least locally most cutters are followed by a good dump. But I could do without them
-
Haha I suspected that coming from you, I was being playful too. But hey, I’m sure a cutter WILL happen at some point. It’s climo
-
Envy is a bitch. But hey if we get a cutter we get a cutter. Doesn’t make this any less enjoyable.

Our forecast busted here. Was supposed to be 30% chance and an inch or less… got a few inches already and it’s snowing well with big fluffy flakes
-
A couple of inches here. Stake back up to 12”
-
I don’t trust ANY model. Cool as it would be, I think the reality is that the atmosphere is far too complex for any model to have a clue past a couple of days out. It’s fun to watch them but I never put any trust into anything more than a few days out.
-
The GFS definitely expands the NNE morale to the rest of the region. Fingers crossed!
-
Light snow started. Won’t be around for Xmas but I’d love to see all of New England have a white Xmas for once!
-
Chance of rain in the forecast for Thursday (although followed by snow on Friday). Still a good reminder to enjoy what we get when we get it.
-
Still snowing lol. Love these stretches where it just won’t stop
-
Getting some heavy snow squalls again. One of my favorite early winters since moving up here. The powder skiing today was Utah worthy
-
Something more for Torch to poop at. Looked like it was going to clear out and it’s been dumping instead. Stake up to 1 foot
