I’d have to look through the pws records but I believe it was -35.5 3 or 4 years ago
-
-30.1 for a low here
-
-30.1. Lowest in a while
-
It was actually marketed as a ski train for a while. There are allegedly snowmaking pipes along the track because I’m at some point they wanted to develop that area around the railroad for skiing. Not sure how many people still do it - but yes only goes to Waumbek in the winter
-
Also just noticed a decent amount of Diamond dust falling
-
-18. This is getting old lol

I have to say, after skiing Stowe for several days, BW really is an underrated mountain. Sure, terrain is mellow but the conditions are so much better (and consistently so) than just about anywhere else I’ve skied in the East, and the glades in Stowe just can’t even compete (at least the basic marked glades). But Stowe is an awesome mountain too!

-25 at mi casa. Too cold
-
Haha hmmm we do cover a wide region. maybe do it for a weekend in Bretton Woods and we can provide discounts on houses to rent?
-
Could do in StJ
-
The groomed trails could use some too. I was preeeeetty icy
-
Lol
-
Any ideas of when the temp will drop? Skied for an hour when I got here this afternoon and it was the perfect temperature! Would love more of that at least part of the day. That’s my biggest complaint about East Coast skiing. Forget about snow quality - Bretton Woods is as good as most places out west I’ve been too when it comes to the quality - at least it on groomers. But the cold is just relentless in mid winter! Love those days in Tahoe or Mammoth when it’s 45 and not a drop of melting snow

It’s actually 35 at the Spruce Peak base with a few flurries
-
I’m staying at Spruce Peak in Stowe for a few days and the temperature is just lovely. Wish we could keep it this way. Just cold enough to keep the snow. Who needs anything below 20?

Winding down here. Very very nice storm, and no downsloping!
-
A nice plastering

It's what makes mountain weather so interesting. I wasn't expecting more than 4-5" from the synoptic of this storm, yet it's done really well. Wind is actually pretty calm now, but it changes constantly. The resort website says gusts up to 82 mph at the top, so I can see why they'd have to close. But even if we get a bit of rain on top of it, this stuff should open up all the glades - it is HEAVY HEAVY snow with very high water content. Should be really nice once we add some fluff on top later tonight/tomorrow
-
Measuring 7-9” in my driveway depending on the spot. Not bad! Was expecting far less but doesn’t seem like we got downsloped much. Mountains make it so hard to predict things
-
Lol. I need a new spot for my stake. It has gained only an inch because it’s just getting blown down the hill. I guess I should pick a flatter spot
-
It's pretty much a blizzard here. Heavy and drifting snow, almost no visibility, and strong gusty winds. Ski resort closed.
-
I don't know if it technically is, but it's pretty much a blizzard here. You know it's bad when the ski resort shuts down completely.
-
Ripping. Can’t wait for the upslope. Synoptic makes me anxious lol
-
Pounding here too, but the wind is also very strong which is annoying. Nothing on the trees lol. Still, great for the glades!
-
It’s just absolutely ripping out there, which is a bit unexpected given the potential for downsloping, but the wind is also very strong so hard to tell accumulations
