Ok done. But I really haven't been tracking all the little "bread and butter" ones that are less than 0.2. Getting lazy in my old age We did beat the greens one year a few years ago, thanks to a bunch of coastals, but it's a tough battle. Also, it's all relative. We can easily beat the town of Stowe, for instance, but JSpin is in a perfect spot. If I lived at the cog rail base we may have a better chance of beating his records lol.

Lol I know I know I'm bad at that. I save everything on my phone then do "data dumps". I'll get on it!
-
LOL. You could get there with my son's RC car. No issues getting to Stowe or Boston, with plenty of battery left.
-
It definitely does - but mostly because I’m running heat, heated seats, heated steering wheel, etc
-
It’s like the heated walkways at Spruce Peak
-
Used to it by now but the noises are definitely weird. Especially decks - they make these sounds like the boards are popping out of place or something. And cars steer very differently. That said, glad to say the Tesla is handling it like a champ!

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
