I honestly am more interested in that arctic front on Thursday. There’s something aesthetically pleasing about snow squalls and wind ahead of an arctic airmass. The SW flow out of the Great Lakes region pools moisture ahead of these FROPAs, then the front drags it over the terrain before drying out again. Looks like a decent early season arctic boundary. That FROPA means business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The atmosphere is fluid and Thursday is like watching a shallow ocean wave move over rocks, from NW to SE across the region… the areas with the most churn as the ripple moves through should see the best results in the northeast (the northern terrain). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted Tuesday at 04:28 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:28 AM Winter Storm Bellamy hit parts of the Midwest fairly hard on Saturday to become TWC’s second named storm of the season, and then the system continued its eastward trek and started to affect our area by early Sunday morning. Throughout the day it brought light snow to the area, and by the afternoon we’d picked up about an inch of accumulation in the valley. Coupled with the accumulations from the midweek system, I figured it would be worth a quick ski tour to see how the powder was building up in the higher elevations, so my older son and I headed up to Bolton Valley in the mid to late-afternoon. We toured on the lower 2/3 of Wilderness and found a general 3 to 4 inches of powder coating the existing base in untracked areas. That seemed about what one might expect based on picking up a couple of inches from each of these past couple of systems, and conditions were actually a bit better than I’d expected because I was worried that the wind might have blow the snow around and left us with little powder to ski. Indeed the snow was fairly light and dry (my liquid analyses from the two storms averaged out to snow in roughly the 5% H2O range for liquid equivalent), so it was nowhere near enough for a resurfacing, but it definitely offered up some nice turns on lower angle terrain. Most turns weren’t bottomless, but you’d get some bottomless turns here and there where the powder had settled in a bit deeper. This was certainly a case where denser snow would have made a huge difference in resurfacing, but there was only so much liquid equivalent with these past couple of systems in this area, so they could only do so much to cover the subsurface. The next storm in the queue has been named Winter Storm Chan, and it looks like it could add a more substantial shot of snow to the slopes – Winter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories are up throughout the area. So, on top of the snow that’s already fallen in the past few days, it definitely holds the potential to kick the conditions up another notch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago On 12/2/2025 at 5:59 PM, powderfreak said: Good skiing. Yeah, with the addition of this latest round of snow from Winter Storm Chan, I was expecting the ski conditions to take another bump upward. With that in mind, I definitely wanted to get out for some turns to see what this new snow had done, so I headed up to Bolton Valley for a tour this morning. I was a little worried when I saw temperatures in the single digits F as I neared the top of the Bolton Valley Access Road, but I got out of the car in the Village parking lot and found that it was very comfortable. With full sunshine, zero wind, and dry air, it felt like the temperature was in the 20s F. For new snow accumulations, there did seem to be some elevation dependence in the Bolton Valley area. In terms of settled new snow depths this morning, I measured 3-4” at the Timberline Base at 1,500’, and up at 2,000’ in the Village I found roughly 4-5”, similar to what I’d measured for accumulations down at our house in the valley. Those new snow depths definitely increased as one went up toward 3,000’, but it was hard to tell exactly how much snow was new with the powder from previous rounds of snow also sitting atop the old base. The Bolton Valley Snow Report is indicating 5-6” new for today, and that would easily make sense above 2,000’, especially since I was there in the morning after settling. This snow fell light and dry around here, in line with what a lot of folks have been saying. My liquid analyses for Winter Storm Chan down at our site revealed an average snow density of approximately 6% H2O, and that’s a fantastic ratio for powder skiing as long as you have enough of it and its fallen into an appropriately right-side-up snowpack. Thankfully, the accumulations from this storm are bolstered by the accumulations from the past couple of systems, so in areas that haven’t been touched in the past week, I was finding powder depths of around a foot. All you had to do was seek out that untouched snow and you could reel in some fantastic powder turns. The total liquid equivalent in the surface snow above the base isn’t enough for bottomless turns on high-angle terrain just yet, but it was game on for moderate and low-angle terrain. I was on my 115 mm fat boards, and they easily floated me in those terrain areas. And boy, the Bolton Valley faithful definitely got after it early this morning. I was out there in probably the 8-9 AM range, and all the middle terrain on the common descent routes on Wilderness had been skied. There was still plenty of untracked powder along the trail edges and off the beaten path, but people had really been out early in numbers. In Bolton’s case, the resort doesn’t start full 7-day operation until next week, so I bet some folks who might have opted for lift-served skiing went touring today instead. But this storm did hit the valleys quite well and announce itself, so that could have been another factor in people getting out to the mountain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago 9 hours ago, DavisStraight said: Looks like the Northern Green snow machine will be on for a couple of days, I’m seeing roughly 2-4” of new snow projected along the spine of the Greens through tomorrow with a bit more at elevation and a bit less in the lower valleys, but it looks like the snow starts tomorrow morning and lasts into tomorrow night. A quick scroll through the most recent run of the GFS shows 7 to 9 potential systems in the queue out through mid-month or so. A couple of them look a little warm, but the mountains will do their thing and get snow as long as there aren’t any heavily wound up systems passing to our west. That’s the beauty of a somewhat safe “zonal” flow. It’s not a textbook Northern Greens bread and butter pattern showing very discrete clippers lined up, but it’s certainly in that neighborhood and it looks like there are a lot of systems poised to come through. Now that we’re into December, average snowfall here in the valley is jumping up to 1 to 2 inches per day, and that means probably 2 inches per day for the local mountains, so that’s sort of the average baseline snowfall to think about. As it stands on the modeling, the GFS shows 2 to 3 feet of projected accumulation for the mountains at 10:1 SLR through the next couple of weeks, which would probably be about an average pace. That’s with the caveat of course that some of that projection is at long lead time and SLR ratios might be substantially higher than 10:1 depending on how much upslope snow is in the mix. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
