1/9-1/10 Now Morphing to Less-Than-Exciting Power Cutter

Only 5” or so on the ground, and who knows if that will be there by morning… hopefully that will change soon though! -
1/9-1/10 Now Morphing to Less-Than-Exciting Power Cutter

Only light snow here but it’s absolutely miserable with 24F, gusty wind, and snow blowing everywhere -
Cutters are hard for us, other than the fact that we still usually end up with decent cover from the follow up upslope. We’ve had some really “good” cutter for pack building but they seem to be a thing of the past. That said, GYX sounds optimistic.

True - and admittedly I think of Bartlett, where I used to be, as North Conway. North Conway proper suffers from low elevation
-
I'd say if there's one place that does well in cutter it's Conway. They CAD like nobody's business. I don't know much about Jay other than the few times I've been there and witnessed what they called 8" of snow that were really a dusting that my wipers could remove in about 2 strokes

Awesome day today. I have low expectations for Wednesday at my location with SE wind, but we’ll see. We’ve had “good cutters” before that helped build a strong base, just not recently
-
Mmm Littleton did NOT get 10”
-
About 3” of upslope overnight, moderate fluff still falling
-
Snowing and quite windy. 18F
-
It could go either way. Some cutters have been great to get glades and steep terrain open - the heavy wet snow makes for a great base, and up here it’s usually followed by upslope to create a nice layered “heavy bottom fluffy top”. Of course if the rain is heavy or very warm and all the snow gets washed off, it’s no bueno
-
Actually great conditions on the groomers today
-
I remember the first several years I lived here we’d often do really well in cutters, with a good dose of snow to start followed by some drizzle and 38-40 degrees followed by a few inches of upslope to top it off. It made for a great base for getting glades open. Lately it seems like cutters just suck lol. Would be great to change that
-
My heart is growing frail, don’t do this to me. JK I’m starting to care less every year that I’m up here. But snow is nice, and especially nice for my business lol. And flooding is bad, very bad.
-
Do they? I thought we were looking at 40s and 2” of rain
-
Looks to be making its way here, decently moderate snow atm
-
Tiny flakes but snowing decently
-
I don’t know I’ve ever seen the Euro run being so disconnected from the ensembles before for the event on the 10th
-
Gorgeous day
-
Happy New Year!
-
We got 3”… doesn’t seem that far fetched that Loon could have gotten 4
-
That’s bizarre. But it’s what makes mountain weather so cool
-
Back to all snow now, hopefully no more ice
-
The roads here are a disaster. Light snow mixed with freezing drizzle, you could ice skate on 302
-
About 2” here. A bit more up on the mountain. 30F
-
Definitely a different vibe today. Also a lot more people out there and the conditions were actually better before it got colder lol
