    They often get upslope snow on the west side there that can be pretty decent too. That whole area is very snowy just very few people around to report it. I had a friend living at 1900ft in Stannard and he always had more snow on the ground than the Stowe base area. It’s just in the middle of nowhere where though.

    Yeah the interior hills there. RT 15 gets up near 2,000ft in Walden and that’s a very snowy area. Some of those towns on the west slope of those hills like Stannard get a ton of snow and preserve it very well.

    BTV with 3” so far this evening. Dumping over there in the Champlain Valley. Only 1.5” here. Pretty good fronto band going NW-SE through BTV to the Mad River Valley.

    That map is insane, I don’t remember that. Weedwhacker worthy.

    It’s also been early in the season too, working with December normals. The same departures in February would be the real deal.

    You’re learning a lot about NNE climate ha.

    Nice light snow event next 24 hrs?

    Regardless of how other areas are doing relative to normal, the best vibes are in the relative jackpot area compared to normal.
  9. powderfreak
    That's a phenomenal deal.

    A week ago we got to 33F. That felt sort of nice, despite being an ice storm. The past 5 days have been below 20F, with a min of -10F during that time. Not excessively cold, but just a continuation of solidly cold departures with temperatures holding the past couple days in the 0 to 10F range down here in the valley. Some positive departures would feel nice. Vehicle batteries would appreciate it.

    They have to salt or sand though right?
  12. powderfreak
    Yup. Only thing I could do without is that ice crust from last Monday. That’s not going away easily.

    South shore in January vibes.

    You just gotta bring some with you to SNE.

    Saw some moderate snow obs out of SLK… along with the persistent 1.5-3.0sm vis -SN… that’s a nice snowy winter day out of nowhere.

    At least when you go out to a ski town like Aspen there’s still a fun mountain town vibe to enjoy regardless of conditions.

    We are getting like an inch every 10 hours at 3,000ft in this persistent flurry, ha.

    Finished December with a -5 departure and snow cover throughout here in the valley with frequent snows. Currently a frigid -6F this evening after last night’s refresher and these well-below normal arctic shots continue with frequency. Normal is 28/9. Today is 23/-6 because of a midnight high last night. Daytime hours never got above 16F.

    Ended up with a 7.5” measured total in 24 hours at 1500ft. Gondola was on wind hold so never got to the High Road plot. Skiing was fluff on top of pond ice or slick hardpack. Steeper stuff was very sporty.
  20. powderfreak
    Yeah, picked up another 1.5" after that for a total of 7.5". Total fluff on top of like tilted pond ice on the Front Four lol. Looks great in photos. Skis like you want to hold on for dear life.

    Saw 6" overnight at Barnes Camp and that 1,500ft elevation saw snowpack go from 23" to 29".
  22. powderfreak
    6” overnight at the base of the ski area. 29” depth, up from 23” yesterday.
  23. powderfreak
    Have fun or not .
  24. powderfreak
    Yes it was a typo. 59”.

    The good vibe that a multiple snowstorm stretch brings is hard to beat by one big one. A 10-inch event, 5-inch event, and 10-inch event in an every 3rd day succession is a 7-10 day binge of winter. Getting a big 20” event then nothing pales in terms of the overall mood/outlook.
