February 2025 Disco/Obs Thread

Talk about going into the snow portal… holy sh*t at 1500ft.  The ski area is just stuffed with snow.  Its dumping near 1”/hr upslope after 7” of denser snow overnight.

There has to be 24-30” on the ground at 1500ft now.  Road snowbanks are taller than SUV’s.  Last night took this up another level with some good QPF rich snow.  This little pocket up here is buried.

Are you guys mobbed up there during the week?  I've never ridden Stowe before but your posts have piqued my interest.

Planning to run to Killington next week which is somewhere in the 2.5 - 2-3/4 hour ride from here.  I ran up to Stowe in the Fall to buy a plow for the side by side and it was about 3 hours on the money door to door with all the highway driving.  I'd like to check it out at some point but may opt for an overnight stay rather than a day trip.

Midweek is the time to go.  The place is empty right now.  Lot looks full but it’s all 1 person per car locals.  All the lifts are ski on and empty chairs going up.

Weekends are a bit of a gong show though, as often is the case at northeast ski resorts.

Absolutely.  We try to only go on weekdays with a bias toward Tues/Weds/Thurs to maximize enjoyment.
