Some more fresh stuff, will hit a dry spell afterwards.

Major suckage in Southern Vermont this morning.

Electric power was out for the entire mountain until after 10:30 am.

We had to shuttle back to the top with snow machines after "checking" the 18-24" of snow on each of the trails.

Lifts started bringing up the guests a bit before noon time. That opened things up a lot.

Amazing snow considering it's still November.

Tomorrow is going to be brutal. I won't sleep much tonight for all the barking my legs are doing ;-)

Mount Snow: 15”

Too bad there's not enough pitch to move through 15" of snow at Mt. Snow. But I'm happy to see they got the goods!

Stowe received enough to open new terrain (finally), including some of the Front Four.

@CalG , what was the snow consistency? Was this light fluff or glop?

That assumes folks can handle more pitch - and that is assuming A LOT on the abilities of A LOT of people

Well, I can. And that's all that really matters.

Ha! As you well know not everyone has been gifted with your abilities

For a minute, I did think that you guys were not going to show up at the Matterhorn that day while I sat waiting and sipping away at my Heady

Hey, it's not every day that I get to be alone in the woods with another man's wife...

Plenty of pitch on the North Face

Thats it! - You are going with the L man next time. That way, you guys will either make it back in record time or not at all

I usually ski 2 or 3 weekends a season in NE from VA... primarily because I'm already coming up to NH for work.

Certainly not glop, but it is Mt Slow...

The North side was "FANTASTIC!" Plummet , Jaws, Challenger, FreeFall PDF,

How do they say.....? She has Perfect Pitch! ;-)

As to depth, call it "knee deep" everywhere. thigh deep up high

 

[GNARpts]

def should have taken a sick day today

 

[CalG]

Short day, but that matched the energy output. Lots of skiers started late and ended early.

I call in with vision problems..... I just can't see coming in to work on a day like this.

Oh! THIS is work! ;-)

Numbers way off. Even this morning:
Killington - 11"
Okemo - 16"
Stratton - 21"

Hmm... thigh deep standing for me would mean I'm sinking in more than 25"... did it really ski that deep? Or was that just the snow depth?

(I know that's all height and ski choice dependent!)

 

[Josh Matta]

At mount snow today. Thick glop if I was freeskiing it would be great, trying to ski at 60 percent for dev team training not so great. Despite being heavy not much float on my little 84mm skis.

Killington - 11"
Okemo - 16"
Stratton - 21"

Whose numbers are way off? Your numbers are way off? Its November, anything over 1/4 of an inch is early Christmas. 11, 15, 18 inches, what difference does it make?
