As mentioned on the Jay site , parking is a issue . In anticipation of the parking problem , Mrs Anthony took one for the team and agreed to be the designated driver . Arriving at Jay at 8.30 am with parking already full ,we were dropped off at customer service to join the masses getting...

This week, soaking rains followed by a quick freeze up has frozen up the un groomed with frozen tracks and fallen tree branches. Granular groomers are it again until it snows.

Enough of a base and new snow to bring out the skins . Skiing was good yesterday with fresh snow available days after the last storm if you hiked for it. Laurentian powder! Sketchy long range near forecast in store for eastern skiing with rain on the way mid week followed by the usual freeze up.

The latest weather system that was a mix of rain/freezing rain/snow was all snow in the Laurentians as just far enough north to make a difference . About 1.5 feet of new snow was recorded over the last 7 days. The base now at a elevation of 1600 ft is just under 3 feet. Places like Tremblant...

Skied Jay today as the amount of snow falling on Jay this year is unbelievable. Practically another foot fell last night creating more powder and packed powder conditions. Jay is skiing at its best with all areas 100% open. Since it is Jay you still have the wind blown areas but even the wind...

6 inches of new snow on top of the ice crust and a thin base made for sub par skiing on natural snow trails. A improvement over the non existent skiing but still a way to go . Groomers built up by snow guns and the new snow are skiing fine . Anthony jr , bailed on the Laurentians yesterday...

Measured almost 1 inch of ice coating the snow today. Conditions haven't been this bad since the 1998 ice storm. 1 inch of of ice incasing the previous ski tracks is something that is going to require a lot of new snow to cover up. A few groomers were open today on crushed ice

The morning after a night of freezing rain and straight pouring rain has soaked the snow. Temperatures have already started to fall off and will drop below freezing before the end of the day. Snow should freeze up rock solid. Mad River Glen in VT did the smart thing today by closing the lifts...

Slow start in the Laurentians this year, better than last year but that doesn't mean much. Started the season off at Jay Peak VT (which is skiing fine) while waiting for the Laurentians to fill in. Currently snow depths on the ground are averaging about 1.5 ' with no base. snow making is...

20 Times this season ,lowest total ever . Average is about 30. Kicking Horse BC 6 Revelstoke BC 1 Jay Peak VT 3 Tremblant QC 1 Alta ( ski touring ) QC 4 Laurentian Mole Hills 5 10 days short of average ,it is what it is . Not skiing MRG was rough .

Skied Tremblant today. First time back in about 4 years. The forecast today was for lots of sun and warm temps so could not resist. Skied solo as the gang at the house have lost interest . The day started off a bit chaotic as large crowds and limited ticket agents with a dark cloud...

Yup ,totally agree but so desperate this year that I might break my self declared boycott on Tremblant and head over there.

Passing on some information as there appears to be more interest in Tremblant this year due to below average snow totals to the south. The weekend of April 16/17 Tremblant is selling tickets at $50.00CDN ( plus tax and service fee total $59.00CDN ) with kids 12 and under free with a adult...

As a lifelong Northern VT skier passing on this NOAA report on our most recent winter which contains a good recap of stats on temperatures and snow quantity.http://www.weather.gov/media/btv/Newsle ... 202016.pdf

Current temps this morning - 12 C with a snow pack of 60 cm. Most ski areas are now closed or will close next weekend. Tremblant is scheduled to close April 17th. MSSI as usual will carry on with no fixed closing date. With so much machine snow it is the lack of customers driving the closures...

After a mild week with rain temperatures have dropped off. Temps this morning -17 C. No new snow so snow pack frozen solid. Current snow level at 78 cm Snow on Ground.

Curious to see if the VT 2015/16 snow totals were the lowest on record since the start of the ski business.

Skied Jay yesterday (March 12th) and it felt like the end of April. Only 30/78 trails were listed as open and even this was stretching it. Clear skies enabled the sun to soften up the the lower elevation snow but a persistent N/W wind prevented the temps to soar and soften up the higher...

Spring has arrived early this year (no surprise). Temps currently in the 24 hour cycle above freezing which is having a impact on the snowpack. Just over a foot of snow has been lost in the last week. Snow pack now at about 3 feet. Long range forecast models predict more above temps with rain...

Maybe they add in their snow from their snowmakers :lol: . Honestly, as a natural snow skier have had difficulty this year finding deep enough snow with a hit and miss season up until the high profile feb storms. This weekend should be good for hiking and skiing as temps are cold. Next week...
