radarman Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Thinking about a trip to Stratton tomorrow. Heavy, heavy POW. Seems like 8-10" from today, but a couple more overnight as well, radar looking pretty decent. Should be really good. Gonna hit B'east tomorrow night for $10 night skiing. Hoping for some bumps. That's a great deal and I might see you there. Magic was closed today and opening tomorrow. Probably one of the better days of the year to be there, but I caution everyone to bring your rock skis if you tend to hear the siren calling in the woods. The fact that there was some density in this stuff helps, but it's gonna be thin in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Svt NH Maine getting crushed, Here was J.Spin's ski area update this afternoon for snowfall: For Vermont ski areas that provided P.M. storm total updates, they’re listed below north to south. With the forecast, I would have thought there would be a notable disparity between the totals at the northern and southern resorts, but that doesn’t seem to be the case yet. We’ll have to see how it settles out when the totals come in tomorrow morning. Jay Peak: 9” Smuggler’s Notch: 8” Stowe: 8” Bolton Valley: 6” Mad River Glen: 6” Sugarbush: 4” Pico: 8” Killington: 8” Okemo: 5.5” Bromley: 6” Magic Mountain: 7” Stratton: 9” Mount Snow: 11” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Skiing was quite good with the surprise being a solid 7-8" snowfall through 4pm. Maybe another 2" since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radarman Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Stowe looks great, 7 or 8" on top always puts more stuff in play. A couple from the woods at Crotched: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 It's interesting that the snow stake isn't showing an increase in the rate...IE, you're not losing ground but not really making it up either, just keep the normal trendline after a miserable start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sankaty Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Stratton is epic today. One of the best ski days I've had in a couple years. That's great to hear. Headed up to Mount Snow this weekend with the family. Do you know if the trees are skiing ok, or still too thin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a snowy mountain and why we need to clear like 18" of snowfall per week just to stay with average. What most people think of as a "snowy pattern" may still only turn out to be average or less up here. We really need a couple 30-inch weeks to try to gain some more serious ground on climo snowfall and depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N. OF PIKE Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Powderfreak I'm tellin ya, some that say ...you'll be fine ...dont have a grasp of ave climo at 3k on Mansfield (snow wise) . 15 inches /week is below normal ...while in sne its a record pace for a month. I think its just difficult for some to sympathize lol and or comprehend how much falls up high. I posted something that a member copied to the general disco thread (that don s posts in) it was from a met Bill Nichols not sure what AFD area he works in ...but you should read it . May teleconnector to snowy times for you wrt "ave". I'd like to know your thoughts . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewbeer Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Skied the B'east tonight. Good snow conditions. Absolute mob scene. Parking lot was a free for all. 10 minute line to buy a ticket. Tons of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tons of people. That was the busiest I've ever seen it, literally every spot in the lot was full. Despite some chairlift issues it was a good night to be skiing with some chopped up powder still around here and there on the sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 That's great to hear. Headed up to Mount Snow this weekend with the family. Do you know if the trees are skiing ok, or still too thin? The trees were skiable... may thin a bit by the weekend but I assume many of the normal tree spots in Mount Snow are in decent shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Last night we picked up another 3" at 3,000ft and the skiing was quite sublime today...truly the best conditions of the season right now. For the first time this season I've recorded 20" in a 7 day period at 3,000ft. So we may have gained a couple inches this week to climo, haha. This actually should be a fairly standard week in many winters, but not for winter 2013-2014 which saw 50% less than normal in December and January. Anyway, we are enjoying it while we have it and man is there a good vibe in town right now. I have a feeling tomorrow is going to be a busy day at the resort. There's really no reason not to go skiing right now. Its not brutally cold and the snow is excellent. This morning, when the partly cloudy forecast turned into 3" of snow. The upslope machine has been dormant a lot of the season, but every once in a while gives these little reminders that its still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sankaty Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 At Mount Snow this weekend. The mountain is in great shape. Nice soft bumps on Plummet and Jaws with just a bit of avoidable thin cover. Woods are a bit thin, but skiable. The main mountain is nice and soft outside of the highest traffic areas.

Sugarloaf1989 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Elk Mt. PA. yesterday That looks great and the conditions look superb. I'm planning on skiing there next saturday as I'll be visiting my sister who lives in Milford. How was the rest of the mountain conditions wise? It's been about 15 years since I last skied at Elk.
