snowgeek Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Gore was ok today. Very windy and cold. 4” of powder but lots of ice. Still a good day. Some nice packed powder where the wind didn’t scrape it off. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwt3650 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Killington is kinda crispy out there despite about 2-4 fresh. Anything with pitch is pretty slick. Might just be spoiled after last week in the glades at jay. Still enjoyable though, as long as you know what’s under the surface. They do have the mountain lit up with guns, trying to re surface.

GCWarrior Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Haven't made it up north since Wildcat in November but for what it is Berkshire East has been pretty good lately. Yesterday was unsurprisingly very icy despite just sharpening my skis. But it's still fun to get out. I'll hope we get a decent February this year, it tends to be the only time we get decent snow. January always plays out exactly like this one has so far! Plenty of month left to go though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warmer temps result in atmosphere holding more moisture. I remember reading a study that tried to determine whether a more recent glacier could have occured in the Great Gulf. I want to say it was dependent upon lower temperatures or increased precip (or a combination of both). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowgeek Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I agree. More moisture should lead to more frequent bigger snow events, however I feel like the increased warmth is like a ticking time bomb. Eventually, it’ll be too warm to maintain decent snow pack in lots of places. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bch2014 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I skied Hunter yesterday.. It was hard but manageable until about noon and then just got really really slick after that. Still banged out 27 runs from 9:15-2... Not hard when you’re skiing fast and the high speed lifts have no lines! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other areas don't have enough snow cover remaining on their glacier's past August 1st to allow for skiing all Summer.

snowgeek Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Thinking of going to Killington our Pico Saturday. They got lots of snow this week and seemed to get the upslope bullseye. Killington is about 90% open and Pico 100%. Worried about rain and fog. Also worried that snow might be wet and sticky. Seems like when it’s powdery and then gets warm, the snow can be weird. Needs a few freezes and thaws to turn into nice corn. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that some areas might see more snow fall for a while but I think the pack will suffer with more rain and warm temps too. Sad. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of that was untouched from this week’s snow... so they are turning in about 12-18” of consolidated powder. Plenty deep! We just finished a nice run of 19” in 5 days. Hunt the untracked and it skied like over a foot. But yeah, the speed at which these guys ski the woods is what makes photos. Fluffy snow and high rates of speed make that stuff explode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I knew it would ski like a nice spring day, I'd go, but I'm thinking rainy, windy, foggy, drizzly with sticky snow. I don't mind getting a little wet, but tomorrow looks pretty nasty. Thoughts?

Jay put on their snow report to basically, stay home this weekend. They all but guarantee any upper mountain lift will be on wind hold and don’t expect this weeks conditions (like pf is posting from Stowe). I would expect the same all over Vt. Killington, Stowe and jay did really well this week so I don’t think this weekend’s crap will be a total wipeout. They should recover quickly and next weekend looks better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
