I think GYX should issue a Severe Angeldusting Warning. Surprised how noticeable it is at 5/-4, usually it’s when it’s below 0
-
Tonight could be the first subzero night in a while if the clouds don’t roll back in. Down to 5 already
-
Finally getting some sun. The cool thing is that we've managed to hold on to some snow on the trees through this whole crappy period. Not much left on the trees at lower elevations though.

One of the wider glades opened yesterday. Rough conditions but fun
-
Increasingly large portions of bread and butter?
-
Our daily light snow has started again. Such a weird stretch

I was born in Torino, near the Alps. There are some breathtaking towns there. Courmayeur and the village of Cogne are some of my favorites. Chamonix is also really nice, on the other side. Cogne at about 5000 ft is just idyllic, surrounded by glaciers and enormous waterfalls towering over the town. Just breathtaking

And 2018 for good measure

These are graphs of my PWS temperature for this year and the last 2

I've had some serious gripes with Cannon ski Ops before. Never in person of course, but I remember one time when it was 40 degrees at closing with a sharp cold front coming in, and they started grooming right away before the pack had a chance to freeze. They might as well have used a Zamboni, the next day was unskiable. The groomers at Bretton Woods seem much more careful.

What's funny is that it's actually been in my opinion perfect winter temperatures here. Below freezing for the past 4 days, no torches, snow still hanging on the trees, daily flurries and yet no uncomfortable mornings when you wonder why you live in this tundra. Although today's high of 22 did feel strangely chilly skiing.

It's from the top of the gondola!
-
No it looks like it's always been in the clouds. There's a good 3-4" of rime
-
Finally clearing out
-
Same here. Actual legit fat flakes that stack up easily, and pretty widespread. It was even a big more in Littleton than here! It's funny that this period of no weather whatsoever is turning out cloudy with daily flurries. We've managed to see no sun in a week lol
-
Mother nature teasing us again with the nightly dusting. What a b---
-
Keep em coming. So cool. Just overcast here, with light snow showers/flurries
-
Amazing
-
Nice snowy evening after all, even if accumulations are light. Renters across the street are hanging out by the fire pit in the snow, it's so cute to see people come up here and think they're in an awesome snowy pattern when for us it sucks lol
-
In a regular year, you don't even need to fear the cutters that much. They often end up resulting in a net gain between front end and upslope. But that's not been the story recently. Occasionally you get into these patterns that bring 1-3" every day for a few weeks, and it feels like quiet weather because of the lack of big storms until you realize 2 weeks later that you now have a really deep pack. I love when that happens!
-
The rime is also adding to the vibe lol
-
It would be much better for skiing if there were a deeper base to open up glades etc. But they did open up some natural trails today. And I agree, the vibe is still full on winter. If there is snow on the trees, I'm happy.
-
0.4 overnight with a few flakes falling. Now let the drought begin
-
It's snowing the finest snow ever (and I don't mean as in "this is a fine snowfall). it's like diamond dust
-
Nice views here too. Not quite as undercast though.
