    Road tripped from Boston up just south of Jackson, ME. Totality is a whole other ballgame. Kudos to my buddy’s Samsung Galaxy, wildly good camera setup for a phone!
  2. CCHurricane
    Yup, that information is plotted with a +1 day lag.

    Looks like Mt. Mansfield COOP station stopped reporting data to NWS database in 2017, but the prior 20-year average was around 20 inches in the month of April. Judging by the Mansfield Snow Stake monitoring (at elevation), this is just the amount of snow to fend off the melt season snowpack cliff...

    Did they? Looks to me like the 18z GEFS moved pretty meaningfully inland / warmer for SNE.

    This is one of the potential downsides with the proliferation of passes sold by Ikon / Epic. Late season, I can assure you the mountains know their mix of clientele. With that mix likely skewing to passholders vs. lift-ticket purchases, it's a massive conflict when it comes to the right customer decision vs. right corporate decision. Throw in the fact that many mountains have already sent home their out-of-country employees, and they have even less ability to run at full capacity.

    right there with you...a cruel game.

    40" in 6 hours, now that would be something...

    Widespread +30" over the past week, with the 06z GFS hinting at another +30" before it's all said and done. We can hope!

    Particularly with the ski/mountain business model evolving to emphasize food & beverage purchases on a day when the mountain should be packed. Throughout the day the Governor Lodge had plenty of space inside and felt like a decent Thursday/Friday, rather than jam packed Sunday.

    A lot of unhappy people on what should have been the best day of the year. Silver lining was the lack of lines at Governor Lodge since no one could park in the main lot! Absurd they don't have a digital sign down near main street indicating the parking situation at each of their lots.

    Deep winter feel at Loon on Saturday / Sunday with free refills followed by a bluebird day of soft turns. Hard to not have fun, even with the comedy of errors by management, impacting morning enjoyment. As of 7AM on Sunday Loon's main lodge parking (which is the majority of their parking), had yet to be plowed. With snow wrapping up prior to midnight the night before, was shocked to see how poorly snow removal was handled. Perhaps due to lack of resources, or maybe the Ikon / Boyne Special!

    Just about wrapped up here in Lincoln, NH. A little bummed the heavy banding that the HRRR and NAM predicted would swing through, never made its way up here, but I have nothing to complain about!
  13. CCHurricane
    Quite the day here at Loon. Plenty of soft and fun bumps today, tomorrow should bring the best groomers of the season. Difficulty to measure while enjoying the day, but easily over a foot.

    Have gotten lucky this week with a rental here in Lincoln, NH. Have used it as home base for mid-winter feeling days at Loon, Sugarbush, and Sunday River. Will do my best to report in a handful of times in between runs at Loon tomorrow AM.

    Live look here at Loon after seeing the afternoon model guidance...
  16. CCHurricane
    12z 3k NAM isn't messing around this evening for many northern mountains. Even here in the Whites (Cannon, Loon, Bretton Woods). Spitting out 4-6+ inch possibilities, yet time will tell. Has been all over the place from run to run. Disclosure: My model observations are biased as I am at Loon
  17. CCHurricane
    Thanks Mreaves, nailed it!
  18. CCHurricane
    Oh, sorry for poor phrasing. Mid-mountain to base started to slush up around 1:30-ish. Upper half stayed solid throughout!
  19. CCHurricane
    Sugarbush did not disappoint. A solid 4-6 inches of fresh snow mountain wide last night. Open to 1PM delivered mid-winter like skiing after +foot dump two weekends ago.
  20. CCHurricane
    Still coming down at a good clip @ Sugarbush base.
  21. CCHurricane
    Still holding on the decent rates down Mid-Cape. Looking like 6” could be in sight.
  22. CCHurricane
    Definitely dealing with a decent amount of compaction and melting from underneath, don't believe it's adding up quite as much as we thought, but still awesome to watch.
  23. CCHurricane
    Mid-Cape. Impressive flake size and pouring snow.
  24. CCHurricane
    Looking forward to CCB bands later today on Cape Cod
  25. CCHurricane
    Accumulating down on Cape Cod. Should do well and may have a legitimate shot at clearing +8”.
