Just a fantastic day out on the hill. Not the deepest ever.. but light dry snow, sunshine, and empty lift corrals made it one of the best days this year for me. My wife and I bought ebikes a couple weeks ago so you can all thank us for the late winter resurgence.

All respect to High Road but I gotta say J.Spin always delivers the most accurate and detailed local snow report right here on the forum. It's much appreciated and always helps me make good skiing choices for the coming days. Stowe and MRG get the nod for runners up hah

7” at home, seems to be a jackpot locally as everywhere I’ve been today has less. So nice to see winter back in the valley. Is it just me or did we used to get way more of these fluffy clippers?

Almost craving sun more than snow at this point. According to local NBC weather: "January 2024 has been an exceptionally cloudy month in the Champlain Valley. 87% of days over the course of the month have had overcast skies at noon, which is the highest percentage since 1951."

Yeah Sunday and Monday were decent especially considering we just had two warm storms roll through. Certainly no disaster like Christmas week. But Tuesday's system plus the lake effect/upslope the past two days have really added the powder on top that we needed. Those who took the whole week off are being rewarded. I gotta think a lot of the VAST system has the green light now too?

Yeah the mountains are stuffed all of a sudden. Such high quality snow too. What a sleeper week.

Dumping catpaws, ushering in the cold air. Hopefully we can keep it below freezing for awhile finally.

Just a couple shingles gone here. A friend in Pleasant Valley said their neighborhood has a bunch of trees down, broken garage doors, shed door blown off the hinges. Glad the east side and mountains come out of it with a gain.

Had a quick inch of snow followed by some sleet and now flipped to liquid in the west side foothills. Our house is very exposed to the SE so I don't love these big downslope wind events. Happy the white pines are all on the lee side at least.

Overperformer here north of BTV. 7" of fluff.

I had to drive to Spruce Peak tonight for the NYE event and its hard to believe it till you see it. Brown all through some typical snowy spots in Hyde Park and Morrisville, an inch or two as you come into town, and then the jackpot partway up 108. Beautiful snow too, clinging to everything and fluttering down all night. Just in time so all the holiday crowds can see what they missed before they head home.

Frameable.

Yeah best start since 2018 I'd say. This week has been stellar. Thanks to PF for the tip last night, this one was sneaky.

Yeah just an incredible stretch. Was able to hit Smuggs, Whiteface, Tucks and MRG last week. I love powder but a warm sunny spring day on the hill is about as fun as skiing gets.

Pretty special couple days in northern VT, and across NE from the looks of it. Yesterday and today were probably the best inbounds ski days I've had here since the big March in 2018. The lowball forecast and maybe some end of winter apathy really cut the crowds down. And the stake soaring above average during peak seasonal depth is huge. Everything is skiing like it should right now which feels great after a few poor seasons in a row.
