Still snowing here. This thing won’t quit. Amazing day in the glades though 

Same at Killington!

I heard 6N was closed. I bet the park at the corner of Hill St is a wreck. 

I drove over Red Mills, it was bad, but i've seen worse

Unbelieveable overnight rains. Red Mills is mess and 6N

i had 2" yesterday, I can't believe you only got .4

Here's something I've noticed looking at western mountain web cams... this is Utah's Guardsman Pass that actually opened today.  But that's not what stands out to me.

In many of these western mountain areas still melting out from last winter, there are a lot of trees leafing out and greening up despite significant snowpack.

In this cam view there are some trees greening up on the left side but they seem to be in barely snow-free zones around their roots.  But the ones on the right side are in like 2 feet of super-dense remaining June snowpack.

The vegetation is wild out west... just greens up and leaf's out regardless of snow on the ground.

This happens on Superstar every year.  The snow does not affect the leaf out.

And that's what happened. I didn't even get .01 but the street is wet. Not so much under the trees The lightning and grey sheet is a mile and a half east, down the hill so I can watch it sliding by. Yay 

I drove through Jefferson valley and it was torrential with trees down.  Got to Red Mills and nothing!

I have a 57 month streak going after June 1 at killington.  Check out St Mary's Glacier just outside Idaho Springs, CO.  1 hour from the Denver Airport lots of streakers go there or Loveland Pass.

Market / stock / finance related 

CPI number comes in at 830am Wednesday 

There is a 5 year slowly rising trend line of support on the VIX (volatility chart ) every time the market has tested the bottom of that trend line the Vix pops a bit and market drops . Looks to me like if CPI comes in favorable then the VIX could potentially close below the trend line on the day and the week , which would likely lead to a leg higher in stocks in the short term . (all risk assets , including crypto would see the bump ) best performing asset of the year so far is BTC . 

So what is a favorable number for CPI?

Do you remember them ever blowing either?

They used to blow every year, David Slutsky was determined to get it done.  They removed most of the guns and put them on Clairs

It’s a shame how they let those two go. Some of the best terrain on the mountain…I think they both have snowmaking too if they wanted it.

They have cut the liftline this year and along the fence.  They are letting the middle grow in.  Also, the top 1/5 was cut and the bottom third all mowed.

Where is the cold air? Looking at the maps, its high 20's beyond Montreal?

The proliferation of lights in Mahopac is certainly obnoxious.

snowing nicely in Mahopac.https://photos.app.goo.gl/vHFSGMtvesWA7oyC6

Another swing and a miss for Mahopac as the rains evaporated once again as they crossed the Hudson.

Didn't rain long, but it was good!

interesting stuff, thanks for posting

The leaf out this year is wild. Traveling from Mahopac south, many trees barely leafed out.  But a few are fully leafed out making for a great contrast. Once you get past the SMP, its like another world.

Wow, what a story. Glad he's home

Be careful with Hunter, this sort of setup screams lots of sleet, wind and with the warmth aloft maybe even worse. Seen it too many times

1" so far in Hunter, NY

The higher elevations of Dorset and Mt Eqx definitely get more than 90" of snow, my seven year running total average here is 97.1"  Now, I'm also measuring every tenth of an inch and really not missing anything, but you can see how in the 1500-3500ft range would certainly be more.  The biggest issue by far would be the retention, which just sucks east of the spine, even at elevation on Mt Eqx and the hills around Dorset.(Although total snowfall is prob lower too)  If there were ski hills at EQX and Dorset, below 1500' would be a struggle for natural coverage some years. Mt Eqx actually does pretty well on blocked upslope flow, but again the whole Taconic range in SVT can torch all the way to the top.  Stratton, Bromley, Mt Snow, Magic, Okemo, etc all have MUCH better retention and do better on big east coast storms with E/SE flow for the most part.  Every time I look at Equinox it just screams potential, regardless of snowfall or retention.

Same here every time I drive 7.  Dorset especially has so many faces.  Does anyone backcountry there?

  KILLINGTON VT TODAY

That's a lots of rain.  The latest Albany rain reports don't show this?

Last natural snow East of the Rockies. Some sketchy shit!

Welcome dude, the more observations the better!

You have to make the trip to Superstar one spring. We love seeing Josh
