You’ve learned from the best.

That’s awesome. Those days were fun as a kid.

BTV got on the board, too. The high of 72 degrees at BTV (Burlington) was not only a daily record but also ties the warmest temperature this early in the winter/spring (January 1st through March 10th).

Shut em down and install em.

Just hit 70F up here at MVL. 55F summit and 65F base.

Afternoon round up of the state of the snowpack… High Road Plot (PM reading): 62” Depth (2” decrease past 24 hours, 12” lost past 5 days). Big Spruce Plot (PM reading): 42” Depth (2” decrease past 24 hours, 14” lost past 5 days) Barnes Camp Plot (AM reading): 28” Depth (4” decrease past 24 hours, 14” lost past 5 days). First 24-36 hours saw the biggest melt and the snowpack is getting a bit more resilient as it gets deeper down into some of the previous thaws and ice storm from mid-season. Only 2” decreases past 24 hours at the higher elevation sites is a positive trend but we still have at least 48 hours to go and likely 72 hours. Good spring skiing.

We spring.

Those are my least favorite people. The ones that need to tell you that people don’t recognize their brilliance. If you are that smart, people will notice over time. But if you go for sympathy because folks didn’t bow down to you… good grief.

57F.... there's like a slurping noise coming from the snowpack in the yard, haha. Just getting eviscerated.

11-12” here. Been a hairdryer. CAD land doing well.

First time below normal snowpack on the season. The Mansfield stake lost a solid foot. Our Stowe Mtn Resort plots lost a similar amount across multiple elevations and aspects over the past 2-3 days. Don’t let anyone tell you ski areas don’t measure snow and work to preserve the observations. High Road (primary plot at 3,000ft), 2/3rds of the way up the mountain. 72-64” Spruce Peak knoll… 56” to 44”. Barnes Camp 1550ft… 42” to 32”.

The 7pm light hits hard. Love to see it.

Honestly it’s felt like everything has gotten twice as bad in the last week. What were small undulations in the road like 7-10 days ago are now speed bumps.

We’re doing a solid melt right now. Last 72 hours at 1500ft has gone from 42” to 32” this morning.

Yeah dark this morning, but for whatever reason I respond better to light later in the day. I can do dark mornings, and half the week I’m up by 5am in the winter anyway… but big, big fan of being able to be outside in light between 5-7pm after work. We need to find a way to stop the earth from tilting and just do a constant all year lol.
