Just took a little ride up to Rutland. Solid coating above 1100 feet. All snow above about 900 feet, mixed below.

Are those flakes flying in the NASTAR cam? Hard to tell.

With windholds at Smuggs and Bolton today, ended up at Stowe. Only took 3 runs outside of the Lookout to Goat range. Woods were unbelievable. Hope Madonna is open tomorrow, they've gotten 7" since the last time it opened and hoping for a few inches tonight. Been snowing at Stowe since 1:30.

Yeah I doubt it warms up enough to matter/melt.  Might get damp then crunchy in the lower elevations, but for Sugarbush and Stowe on the eastern slope, the cold air seems to hold a bit better under the ridgeline (so overall it's likely even another net gain at elevation of moisture and frozen precip).

Tuesday looks like a good day to me.  There's been some decent upslope signals coming in for Monday into Tuesday.  Long way to go though in terms of confidence, as it'll revolve around spokes of energy timing with flow/moisture.

Based on current forecasts, looking at skiing Sugarbush Sunday, Smuggs Monday, and Stowe Tuesday. If there's a lot of windholds Sunday I like Sugarbush for at least having Valley House open. Smuggs Monday mainly because it would add 45 minutes to the ride up/back so would rather do that on the day I don't have to travel, plus they've been striking gold on NW flows this year. Stowe Tuesday will hopefully be freshened up.

Would you do those in a different order if you were me?

Perhaps a sleeper powder day at Stowe Tuesday? Nice.

Was planning on skiing Stowe, Smuggs, and Bush this Sunday-Tuesday but haven't pulled the trigger on lodging yet. Hard to tell at this point as the Euro and GFS are still miles apart but need to make a decision soon. Don't mind skiing in a little bit of rain. More afraid of a giant freezeover on the back end. Anyone want to convince me to go/not go? Lol

Gonna be in the NEK Sunday-Tuesday next week. Particularly Jay Peak Monday. Hope I'm not dodging raindrops. Starting to trend better.

He is usually very conservative with snow totals.   Wraparounds are a myth

Completely agree, weird to see him going bigger than everyone else. I like what Harvey has right now, but I'd love Pete's to verify.

Maybe Princeton will get 9"

Bouchard is bullish on both the totals (6-10" NW of ORH) and more importantly on the backside kicking in additional accumulation. Says the models have no handle on the wraparound and he expects precipitation to change back to snow and it will make a mess on Friday. Guess we'll see on that second part.
