    Midweek is the time to go. The place is empty right now. Lot looks full but it’s all 1 person per car locals. All the lifts are ski on and empty chairs going up.

    Talk about going into the snow portal… holy sh*t at 1500ft. The ski area is just stuffed with snow. Its dumping near 1”/hr upslope after 7” of denser snow overnight. There has to be 24-30” on the ground at 1500ft now. Road snowbanks are taller than SUV’s. Last night took this up another level with some good QPF rich snow. This little pocket up here is buried.

    Ocean effect.

    Front sagging SE through the area (past Montreal now) with a burst of QPF out ahead of it.

    It’s a new cam with a live view. That old one was static low-def. A nice base area observation point there at Midway base lodge.

    Not going to get 3” down low tonight, ha. Elevation dependent with the CAA lagging, needed to be above 1,000-1,200ft. Clawing to maybe 1” of slop below those elevations. 4+ up high so far but down low here got warm today.

    Yeah it’s been like a white rain. A half inch sloppy coating.

    Really raining my there? Snowing at 750ft here but really only sticking to cold surfaces. Roads and parking lots are wet in town.

    You’re not the only one lol. The Stowe Family is always arguing with me that there’s more snow. I’m just trying to forecast what the High Road stake will show. We’ll see tomorrow. 3-6” with High Road closer to the 6” is my call.

    I think we crust. It doesn’t take much, even if it’s snow to sleet to dry slot, that dry slot often is freezing mist/drizzle. It takes so little liquid to crust the snowpack I think we’d need some wholesale changes to that look on Thursday. Even the GFS warm sectors Thursday night after precip shuts off… which there are also varying levels of crust too. Maybe just a zipper that 100 underfoot can take care of.

    Mountain snowpack already a good foot above normal and the snowpack is awesome with no rain in January. If the next 2-3 weeks hit we could be making a run at 100” at the stake. 2019 was the last time over 100” depth but it feels primed to take another step up sitting at ~5.5 feet with a potentially active stretch continuing.

    First time in like a month we had to kill snow guns due to marginal temps. I think the mountain does another 4-6” tonight. A healthy 6 at High Road would not surprise me.

    Snowing big flakes again. Thinking another 3” tonight at home, another half a foot for the mountain after last night’s 4”. If we hit on this active pattern, the mountain snowpack is going to get up there.

    Can toss in upstate NY, and rural areas nation wide lol.

    Nice little fluffer last night. 4”.

    A snowy evening is always appreciated.

    Snow growth here dropped as soon as that initial lift moved through. Now a lighter, steadier more average flake size.
  18. powderfreak
    More like 1 trip outside every 6 minutes to make sure it’s still snowing. Or one could just look outside .
  19. powderfreak
    Dumping great snow growth in this initial fronto band lifting northward. Big fluffy flakes at 17 degrees.
  20. powderfreak
    MVL -22F for the min. Local PWS was -19.8. Mansfield summit +5F.
  21. powderfreak
    -20F Feels like the surface of the moon.

    It’s been a fun month. Snowpack has been tracking just above normal in the northern Greens. Pack above 5 feet at the co-op stake. Favorable to the mean after last night’s fresh snow.
  23. powderfreak
    No rain. In a winter month in 2025. Love it.

    It’s f*cking cold out this evening. You feel subzero on that first deep breath. What a winter month January was. Average temperatures can produce a decent winter. Photo from a friend in Stowe Hollow wondering if it snowed every day on the mountain in January? It felt like it, even away from the Spine throughout town. It was cold today. Snowy month on the NW flow in ADK, VT and NH.
