  1. Without the groomers it was bulletproof over the weekend. Thank God I had just tuned my skis. But today was great!
  2. Over performers are the best. Closing in on 6" already
  3. 28.8/26 about an inch OTG. No problem sticking to all surfaces up here.
  4. First flakes in Thornton, 29.5/21
  5. Cabin back yard faces due north and slopes down, so great snow retention. I'd guess it's between 8-10" deep and probably 3-4" of water content.
  6. When was your leafout in '12?
  7. big members from the super weenie
  8. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/waterville-valley-resort-master-plan-120010442.html Much needed! WV is pretty boring, but it's gotten better with the expansion of Green Peak (and they still need more glades). Connecting the mountain to the Village would push WV on par with BW and Loon. Maybe even an experience unlike any other in NH if done right. Hit Bretton Woods Sunday. Had an absolute blast. That mountain has come a LONG way since the 80's. Dare I say it, but it's my favorite NH mountain.
  9. Good to know. Most times I don't if it's not a quantifiable amount, but I guess it doesn't hurt. Thanks!
  10. I've had a trace the past 3 days. Does anyone report trace amounts?
  11. I've lived in Lowell more than half my life and 32" at this date is probably average. I'd even wager more than average. I wonder if UML keeps annual snow totals?
  12. Was Jan '96 the ice storm? Yeah, Waterville took a nasty hit. About 50% soft snow/ice on the surface. Banged out 3 runs, called it a day. Definitely higher elevations took it worse. It was probably in the low 50's above 3k', around 42 at 2k'. My backyard down to 2" of wet snow, from 9" Friday. Depressing, but they should partially recover by weekend. Scott, how does Stowe plan out the week? Do they focus on a few runs one at a time, or spread out the guns?
  13. Skied Tenney Friday for the first time. Talk about old school. Thin cover, no trails marked closed, barely any trail signs, narrow, windy, bumps and rollers, exposed brush, a few rocks. I loved it Psst, it's the mountain you want to hit after a dumping, like this upcoming Sunday (fingers crossed!)
  14. Models cut back on rain. Now about 1" for my area. Currently 9.25" snow with 1.95 liquid in core sample. Praying for CAD overperformer.
  15. 30.5 here in Thornton after about 1/2" of snow. Been freezing rain past few hours. Kinda surprised by the low temps.
  16. around freezing all day until past hour or so when it jumped to 40 (Thornton). Valley still in low/mid 30's.
  17. damn, that just looks brr... Looking forward to the new gondola and spending more days at the Woods this winter!
  18. Heard about that today. Kinda sad, but I guess it's a sign on the times. One of my all-time NE faves.
  19. -10F, 80MPH sustained, gusts to 100, wind chill in -50's. That's pretty impressive for mid November.
  20. Wildcat, Sunday River, and I'm sure a few in VT as well. If Bretton Woods or Wildcat open next weekend, I'm there. Cannon has a set date of Nov 23rd.
