  1. In the meantime, looks like another pretty good stretch coming up, starting with the current WWA for 3-6”
  2. Just experienced that. My kid had a basketball game in Lisbon, past Littleton along the VT border, and there was barely an inch on the ground there. Even Littleton has very little. Bubble is a good definition; it seems like it’s been such a great January but without upslope it really hasn’t done much. But that’s easy to forget when we’ve had snow probably a good 70% of days in January
  3. Nice dumpage this morning. A couple of inches so far.
  4. Hey! I just read your online review - thank you soooo much, you’re far too kind!!! I’m so glad you had a good time. It’s definitely been a nice January. I don’t particularly care for the cold and have skipped several days of skiing because of it, plus a pesky stomach bug, but while the snow isn’t as deep as it probably should be, the conditions are quite stellar. Upslope is definitely a nice insurance policy, and one of the reasons I chose Bretton Woods is that I have not found a single ski resort in the East that has such consistently good snow. A perfect combination of upslope, terrain, lack of wind, great grooming. And hey, we can drive 20 minutes to Cannon or 40 to Wildcat and be reminded that you’re still on the East Coast! Don’t get me wrong, I love those mountains too, as I love Stowe, but the snow quality does not compare. Felt that earthquake today BTW. That was bizarre.
  5. One of the squalls today was insane lol. Visibility was almost zero for a few minutes
  6. 10" at the stake; not very deep, but the quality of the snow is great from a skiing perspective
  7. Getting some decent squalls
  8. A little light snow/flurries this morning
  9. Down to -4. Hopefully we are done with lows like this morning (-25.2); that was just stupid painful.
  10. -9 and and it’s not even 7pm. This sucks. The Amoonoosuc River is pretty much completely frozen over. Haven’t seen it like that in a while.
  11. Yeah, over time you learn to figure out how to adapt it. In rad cooling, go under. In cutters, go over. And most of the time, it’s a crapshoot anyways
  12. Nope. But my nose hurt like hell going out and the “hot water” experiment worked great
  13. Jeesus it got cold lol…
  14. -14. Not dropping as fast, but still dropping
  15. -13. May be fake but it’s cold as hell
  16. -6 with deck cracking loudly
  17. Very elevation dependent around here. Snow here at home at 32F, about 3/4”, but it was plain rain in Groveton all the way to Twin Mountain
  18. Just not to break the streak, got light snow last night and overnight, making it 13 consecutive days of measurable snow. Pretty impressive given the last few years
  19. Oh I’m sure. It’s sheer ice on that side. But only a short drive away from here if one wants better snow
  20. Just looked at the report. Bretton Woods has 57/63 trails open, plus 9 glades. Definitely can’t complain (but you’re right, Conway has not been doing great, although I’ve heard Attitash wasn’t so bad - it’s hardly ever great anyways)
  21. That’s not quite correct. Some areas are doing great. Today marks the 11th consecutive day of measurable snow here, with about 2 feet or so total. The snow quality is absolute champagne powder, not a hint of ice anywhere, and even the glades are open. I’d say it’s our best MLK in several years. People just don’t seem to know about it given how many homes we still have available for the weekend.
