powderfreak Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I think the snowpack will absorb a lot of the rain Wed/Thur in this area… it hasn’t been rained into yet up north in/on the mountains. The pack will compress but shouldn’t release big water (not ripe). The surface conditions will be rugged for skiing, snowmobiling, etc… but the depth will be there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tunafish Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Average pack in PWM is 11", down from 20" exactly 2 weeks ago. In that time we've had no new snow, two days in the 50's, several more in the 40's, and 0.49" rain. With the cold today, I was able to walk on top of the pack without breaking through. And I'm not NNE climo - far from it. My point is: the pack across NNE will need a lot more than this cutter to make any kind or significant dent.

Must be tough though when groomers are down. Expand In VT, it’s a combination of local club fundraising and grants from VAST. The money to fund the grants comes mostly from the trail passes sold to riders. There is a large range of grooming equipment, from new Tuckers and Pisten Bully’s to ultility sleds with drags. You are correct, costs are a huge issue for us. VT is a little unique in that we are a private non-profit while other states have various degrees of state involvement/support. Either way, local clubs still provide the largest majority of work on trails and grooming support. While may we lack financial support from State government, we do have direct support from the highest levels in VT. This was from Friday after a ride from Morrisville to Stowe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 -6F here… -16F SLK… never going to compete with the 1,500ft bowl. Cold dry night, but still a couple foot snowpack around the valley bottom. Frigid right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
