March 2014 was good, but like you mention, better for C VT.   That was a chilly one on the hill... I recall a high of about 0 and 35mph winds. 

 

Killington got a good one in December of last winter too...they had like a 15" paste bomb.

Yeah... they also had a power outage in the morning that shut down all the lifts for like an hour and a half.  Everything was off except the credit card readers lol.  But fortunately it returned and we had a good day, woods already in play on Dec 11th with the dense base layer.

Not sure if anyone saw this but Brad Panovich wrote a nice article on the overreliance of some on numerical models. Worth a read.

Fortunately we have a smart crew here that can blend and use learned experience to develop outcomes. Great article.

I'll take a wet bomb even in april or may or...

I like those late season burgers. Not about snowpack at that point, just the tracking fun and eventual outcome is worthwhile imo. I'm sure folks didn't expect a rare October bomb but when it occurred, weenies built snowmen and igloos, ran outside with a ruler and measured.

CTValley raises a great point.....no one should have expected snowpack retention this winter, anyway.

Not that kind of winter, and I thought that was conveyed pretty well by the consensus.
