Stowe, VT 10APR2010 April has generally continued our March trend of warm temperatures and very low snowfall, but leading up into the weekend, the forecast suggested that there was the chance for some overnight snows in the higher elevations. Moisture didn’t look plentiful, but at least the...

Stowe, VT 04APR2010 Yesterday was another nice one, so we were back at Stowe for a bit more of the spring weather and spring skiing. I think the temperatures were about 15-20 degrees cooler than Saturday, which was of course still quite warm with base temperatures around 60 F. Combined with a...

Stowe, VT 03APR2010 Yesterday was a really gorgeous day, and we headed to Stowe with Stephen, Helena, and Johannes to get in on some spring… or perhaps even summer skiing with the way the temperatures went. We arrived at the Spruce Peak base at around 10:30 A.M. and the temperatures were in...

Stowe, VT 28MAR2010 Based on yesterday’s forecast of cloudy skies and temperatures in the 30-40 F range, there wasn’t a huge incentive to ski, but we did head up to Stowe for our afternoon session so I can provide an update. Skies were actually pretty bright with a few small breaks in the...

Thanks for looking into it; I've tested it a couple of times and everything seems to be working fine, even pasting in text from Microsoft Word 2003. -J

Bolton Valley, VT 24MAR2010 We picked up 1.7 inches of snow at the house yesterday morning, which was a lot considering the amount of snowfall we’ve seen this March, so I decided to stop up at Bolton to earn some turns and maybe ride the lifts if the skiing was decent enough. The reports...

I asked my wife the same thing later that day, and her thought was that Dylan is probably in a similar place to where Ty was at that age. She pointed out that comparison can be difficult because they have somewhat different styles: Ty is more dynamic, while Dylan seems smoother. Dylan has...

I was up at Bolton for a few turns this morning, and consistent with their reporting, there really wasn’t any more accumulation up there than what we got at the house (495’). Not counting drifting and scouring, the accumulations with this event were surprisingly similar at all elevations I...

I do still get the scroll bars once the text is large enough. I was just now messing around trying to type some text in a message box, and it didn't immediately seem to do it with that text. I do typically paste my text in from MS Word, so it's possible I'm bringing along some code or...

I'm on IE version 8.0.6001.18702 and Windows XP.

Marc, has anyone else commented on the behavior of the text entry box in the forum over the past couple of months? Whenever my message is larger than the white box that's privided for text entry, it's impossible to edit/add code to the latter portions of text in the messages - if I try to...

Bolton Valley, VT 20MAR2010 Yesterday afternoon up at Bolton was very much like a week earlier: generally overcast, but warm enough to keep the spring corn soft and enjoyable. Temperatures were again in the 40s F and there was some breeze in the higher elevations. The biggest changes I saw...

Stowe, VT 14MAR2010 On Sunday we were back at Stowe for our weekly program, and the afternoon began with similar conditions to what we’d experienced at Bolton on Saturday. There wasn’t any significant precipitation; it was just mostly cloudy with a couple holes of blue sky and temperatures in...

E and I both commented on how we wished we'd had a video of that one. As the boys get older and potentially get more into the recording processes, it will be fun to start doing more video again. The only problem is that recording much video in with the photography throws on yet another layer...

Bolton Valley, VT 13MAR2010 We headed up to Bolton on Saturday afternoon for a bit if skiing, unsure if the conditions were going to warrant much of a stay. Weather wise, there was neither fresh powder nor bright sun, so it was looking like our first lackluster sort of day up there in a while...

Stowe, VT 07MAR2010 Like Saturday, Sunday was another warm, sunny day, and we headed off to Stowe in the afternoon for our weekly program. I was very curious to see if spring conditions would develop to a greater extent than the spotty softening we’d found at Bolton on Saturday, but with...

It’s always good to be cautious about that sort of thing, but in general, I haven’t found the higher elevation snowfields around here to have too many tree wells (a.k.a. spruce traps, etc.) of the type that would swallowing a person whole. I think the combination of smaller trees up there, as...

Bolton Valley, VT 06MAR2010 With temperatures at the house closing in on the mid 40s F by midday Saturday, we were expecting corn snow up on the mountain, but as it turns out, that wasn’t quite what we found. We started off at Timberline, and if anywhere on the mountain was going to feature...

Stowe, VT 28FEB2010 We’d skied at Stowe last Thursday in the midst of the big storm cycle, but Sunday was our first chance to see how things had shaken out for the snow surfaces once things had settled down. The slopes looked gorgeous as we approached the mountain, with lots of sun among some...

It's generally a sign of decent base depths when the stake hits 100 inches; the interesting thing about this season is that it happened on the early side. I posted a comment (pasted below) on Eastern about how it was fairly early for the snowpack at the stake to hit the century mark, and...
