It’s ripping and models have the look of a northern greens upslope special tonight…Jay should clean up…would be ironic if tonight they actually do pull off a foot. .

Ha..I would do it in a minute; I’m just not up there full time yet. In a few years, I’ll at least try to do something at 1900’ where my spot is. I think it’s important for what is the snowiest spot in the East. Yeah, I’m not sure why they went 10-14. They catch a lot of crap for their totals and honesty, it’s pretty close most of the time, but this is a bit of a head scratcher. People that don’t spend a lot of time there can’t comprehend the amount of snow they get and the fact that the angle of that mountain and lack of anything blocking the moisture feed makes it so much better for upslope. Probably only Stowe in the same league in that area and jay def gets more…how much more is debatable, but it’s more. The skiing is really incredible right now. They don’t need 10-14 to convince anyone. .

It wasn’t 10-14 last night…I don’t know where they are getting that. .

Perspective…it’s 4 days into meteorological winter…the first 10 or so of Dec are BN..clipper might get some 2-4…mountains are cleaning up…everyone said mid month would warm..last 10 are unknown to everyone… Let’s move on from the passive aggressive shit. .

It’s probably pretty close, even for jay slant sticking. Taking into account fallen vs on the ground depth a few days later…Really impressive cycle since thanksgiving, but more importantly, a week straight of solid snowmaking this is at 1900’…. .

Meanwhile… .

If anyone has the means to get there, can’t stress enough how good the skiing is at Jay right now…ski right on to the lift, all of stateside off the jet and there are some woods in play, maybe more today with it still snowing. It’s mid winter powder and packed powder. If they get the Bonnie running by the weekend once they wrap up snowmaking at the base and unload, almost the whole mountain will be accessible with a little hiking. Wouldn’t be shocked to see the tram either. It’s really good. .

I’m far from an expert, but my experience is radar will never show what’s going on in this area well. It’s all about the flow…it’s been snowing almost non stop for 3 days here and very little shows up. If bands are approaching the orleans county border, we’re usually snowing well. .

Storm cycle total..should fire up again tnrw, but I figured I’d call this for thanksgiving through last night, since today is mostly just occasional flurries. The upslope far outperformed the storm system itself… .

It was absolutely incredible today. Hard to believe it was November. Snowed all day, almost every rope dropped on stateside off the jet, and was even able to dip in some woods…really good skiing. Can’t remember the last time I stayed out til last chair this early… .

1. I am a snow weenie. 2. Pic is about an hour ago..It’s nuking in my opinion, but I get it..currently .

Nuking snow again…4-6 so far and natural ropes dropping.. .

Just let up, but was dumping snow the last two hours..cold, winter vibe here. .

Nice opening day..not too often it’s only jay and killington. Snow was very good above 2500’, more typical machine groomed stuff below. Opened a few natural trails with some great snow too… .

Gfs has been consistent with this band hitting the northern greens tnrw night for several runs now.. .

Completely agree. Gfs seems to lock onto these patterns best from a few days out. If this was mid winter and lots of terrain was open, this would be the pattern that makes this area special with daily refills of 3-4” every morning to keep things skiing great. The temps mean local ski areas should be able to do some major expansion fast. It looks like a late, but promising start! .

Starting to pick up…wet, snowball snow even up here. 1-2” elevation dependent…dog is happy with it. .

No real intensity up here yet..probably an inch down. .

Happy Thanksgiving…light snow, coating down and snow guns blasting in the distance. .

Lots of bread and butter post storm too! .

Has the rise from the ashes begun? .

Hoping for days and days of upslope that has been missing the last couple years...Looks promising

Ha...I've been watching this trend from mood flakes to something that might actually make the weekend more than just a death ribbon. Not far from being in the game up here and I bet the flow keeps it snowy most of the weekend into next week for us. 3-6 would be a game changer for opening weekend conditions.

Ha; It'll be over by race time, but Killington sure looks like a sweet spot as of right now. They'll be hosing down the course with all that fresh snow. I would never be able to ski Superstar that day with how icy they like it.

Congrats VT Ski areas? Though it looks like the good stuff will be south of PF and me toward Stratton/Killington. Maybe with a little upslope bonus we get to 6, which is a win.
