  1. That's an awesome set-up dude! Hockey Night in Canada type vibe.
  2. Most of that was untouched from this week’s snow... so they are turning in about 12-18” of consolidated powder. Plenty deep! We just finished a nice run of 19” in 5 days. Hunt the untracked and it skied like over a foot. But yeah, the speed at which these guys ski the woods is what makes photos. Fluffy snow and high rates of speed make that stuff explode.
  3. That's Mount Mansfield. It's why it's such a talked about mountain too. It's right in the view of BTV and associated suburbs. East side view today.
  4. The timing isn't all the dissimilar from up here. I think there's definitely something to the patterns that seem to bring several year stretches of more inland storms vs. true eastern coastal plain storms from like the ORH/Tolland Hills eastward. Each year can have variance but they do seem to come in clusters.
  5. Thanks Diane! Got some fresh pow turns in. Bluebird and beautiful. Can’t believe it’s all but a dream in two days.
  6. Yeah that’s awesome. Sounds a lot like here when we try to describe to people the random gradients. Could be advisory or warning snows at one place, then flurries at our Shaw’s Supermarket, then back to plowable snow in another two miles, etc. Stuff you don’t see in synoptic events. Makes you laugh when someone gets upset because 10 miles away got a bit more than them...you can see that within a town in every event up here.
  7. It’s so awesome when events like that hit the non-climo favored areas. Everyone is sort of numb to it when it’s JSpin, Alex or myself at the mountain.... but to get that there in central NH is awesome.
  8. Meso-scale is the best... I'm telling ya, the isolated smoke shows are awesome. Don't need any flashy model runs, just let it happen.
  9. Decent amount of blowing snow this afternoon, even in the low lands.
  10. This was 2pm when the squalls and arctic front passed us. Visibility was very low. Some folks on the hill had to stop and wait it out. Even for here with the orographic lift, that was an impressive burst. Middle of the afternoon and this rolls through.
  11. Another excellent day. 18" in past 4 days on the mountain. And this photo was before the heavy squalls hit this afternoon.
  12. Nice J.Spin! I had about 4.25" from the event total (early morning and this afternoon)... depth at 9" You definitely looked to take the brunt of that squall. Looked like the core went right down I-89.
  13. Best squall line of the season here, IMO. ASOS spots hit 1/4sm and I’ve got 4” at home between early morning and today. 9” on the ground finally. Short lived though.
  14. Thunder in BTV. This is just a pure whiteout. Internal stake cam picked up 1" in 15 minutes at 3,300ft. Up to 5" since 5:30am.
  15. This is some truly heavy snow. Wow. Can’t even see from one end of the hotel to the other.
  16. I'm hearing reports of thunder in BTV with that squall.
  17. Another couple inches since 5:30am at the mountain. Pulses of moisture moving through but speckled with 30-35dbz at times produces some pretty healthy rates for short durations.
  18. lol what an ugly 10-day run of the Euro last night.
  19. It just keeps snowing. Gotta enjoy it while it’s here. 14” in 4 days at the ski area, all at 2-3” every 12 hours. 1.5” on the car at home and 2.0” in the parking lot at 5:30am up at the office. This stuff feels denser. But it’s literally been 4 days straight of nickel and dime snowfall. We’ll take it as a substitute.
  20. Haven't posted some photos in a while... here's the past two days on Mansfield:
