The mountain was one block of ice (4-10 feet thick) with an angry inch on top. I think there might have been 10 people skiing at Stowe today combined. An excellent example of why places close with so much snow. Definitely lost money today, a solid 10:1 employee guest ratio ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kills us is the raw NE flow. We can get just pure cold, but not sure that’s in the cards. It’s defintely not a jugs and mugs look though. That was a surface map I posted and yes looks rainy wet east flow atuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dry and mild with subfreezing nights are the way to send the snowpack downriver. Add 5-10° to ideal sugaring wx and we avoid significant floods. I’m obviously kidding. Just have to minimize high dew cutters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did a morning groom after last night's freeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
