Ski Sundown opened on December 13th 2024 and December 28th 2023. It rained after opening in 2023 and they had to close for grooming and snowmaking in early January 2024. So an extra 2 weeks of season this year. And opened this year with 100% of their trails because it was cold and good for snowmaking. Got in 7 days. January 5th to March 16th.

Cold statewide. Not just the valley areas. And accumulating snowfall on April 12th. Never seen snowfall that late outside of the mountains. Hopefully its done. Been a cold Winter. Though dry.
Snow and 33F. The ground is warm and rain soaked so it's difficult for the snow to accumulate. For my warm valley location it's still impressive for April 12th.
Really good skiing conditions though. Jiminy Peak for my Birthday in November. Snowfield skiing at Sugarloaf in January. And waist deep powder at Ski Platekill in March.
It snowed in May of 1996 in part's of New York State. Very cold Fall Winter and Spring.
I'm 53 and I can't remember a winter with such consistent cold as this Winter. December, January and halfway through February. Cold but fairly dry in SNE.
