Another dusting of tracking snow, 34F, balmy
Happy Thanksgiving NNE


.

Back from NH to find a beautiful Green Mt range.



8F this morning, but no wind


.

3” so far. Always nice to remember how quiet the woods are in the snow



Doe bed. She wasn’t to pleased to give up her spot this morning






.

Yeah it's fun to do something that renters will enjoy but that also creates atmosphere. I added some string lights and it looks really cool at night. Once the snow hides the liner and the structure a bit more it should look even better 

First proper windshield scrape session and the white strip has made an appearance on the hill



Certainly a better than sign than last week’s NH hunting in T shirts


.

On to colorful trail season


.

Newark, looking up to the gap.

Been an incredible run of sunsets lately. First full frost for us on the hill this morning.

Had a great summer, but this is the best. Not sure I could live anywhere else this time of year

Hey dude!  Hope all is well and you had a great winter.

Down here, the Chin looked buried, given the season high snowpack.  The shots from people who got over there to ski it look awesome.  Profanity and Hourglass in fine shape.

All good, just lurking this year, the thread had the Jay report(btw?) , didn’t want to clutter page with the same info

Reflecting on the season yesterday a top the hill, it had the will to live, resuscitated came to mind:)

That winter white is melting off quickly in this heat and sun.

What a day to be outside though.

I second that! 
 

A true NNE spring special

Looking good down your way PF

‘‘Twas a decent Saturday evening on White Rock…

Spring schedules.

trading the early morning powder harvests for the afternoon corn harvest. It always looks good when the chores get done before leaving for the mountain  

Seasons progress, now it’s mix and match season, time to utilize all the gear in the garage.

Besides, May is still a long way off  

5/12/20

4" and counting in the valley

Pretty impressive melt on the hill for 3 days of warmth. Always funny to me the paradox of the ski trail.

months go by the trail is down, in the snow. Spring warmth arrives, and the trail ascends, a nice reminder of the many days  sliding and compacting. 
 

ETA: snow has begun again:)

Braving the hard pack conditions today. 
 

Skating yesterday realized we haven’t had to flood the rink since January. That’s  first. It is always fun to see how the winter will unfold. We haven’t had one storm over 9”, and yet, the access to quality winter fun has not been deterred. 
 

6 weeks to go

4.5” of white beach sand here, surprised it was 20F based on the pelting, misty ski with the dog this morning. Quiet skies for the time being.

-14 on the hill this morning, skate skiing on styrofoam, but no crowd:)

6.5” here. It all fell between 12 and 5.

On to the next part as the winds are starting to swing around

Incoming...

-14 on top of the hill this morning...

-4 for the AM ski, 1/2” of baby powder snow,

x 2, a classic January day

Surprised to see 2.5" of snow up here, balmy 24F

-3 for the ski with the dog at sunrise, pleasant in the woods.

lonely benches at the Lake this morning...

Snow fence in effect

Next for Phin will be working on the ski quiver:)
