    Vermont Snow Updates 2010-11

    That info is frequently reported here, and even from the mountains when I’m out there, several examples from this very thread are below: “I've added in my EasternUSwx observations posts from last night and this morning for reference below. We had another 0.31 inches of liquid precipitation...

    Vermont Snow Updates 2010-11

    I figured I’d add in an update on the ski conditions from the weekend, which went from good on Saturday at Bolton to great on Sunday at Stowe. Saturday had seen just a couple inches of new snow when I headed up to Bolton in the afternoon. Up high, conditions were assisted by the new snow...

    Vermont Snow Updates 2010-11

    The bulk of what I've stuck in this thread are brief updates/excerpts from my trip reports, which as most people know are heavily biased toward when the skiing is good to excellent. Sometimes I'll also post about upcoming snow threats or the snow numbers from big storms, which are also likely...

    Vermont Snow Updates 2010-11

    I think in general people are aware that this storm is warm with some mixed precipitation and rain, just like the one at the beginning of the week, but the rain doesn’t really contribute to the snow totals or upcoming snow chances, so I haven’t added anything about it in here. For what it’s...

    Powderfreak mentioned updates to some of the recent snow totals in the NNE thread over at Americanwx.com, so I’ve updated the list below: Jay Peak: 11” Smuggler’s Notch: 10” Stowe: 10” Bolton Valley: 10” Mad River Glen: 6” Sugarbush: 5” Pico: 12” Killington: 12” Okemo: 4” Magic Mountain: 4”...

    Vermont Snow Updates 2010-11

    We picked up 3.7” of snow today at the house, and I've added the latest reports for this storm from the Vermont mountains below in the usual north to south list. The highest amounts seemed to be in the Bolton to Smugg's stretch, although the Killington area seemed to be another hot spot. Jay...

    Vermont Snow Updates 2010-11

    The next storm coming through here starts up tonight. It’s a fairly warm storm like the last one, but the forecast calls for 3 to 6 inches of snow in the mountains on the front end, so I’ve added BTV’s latest graphics for the event below:

    Vermont Snow Updates 2010-11

    With blue skies, temperatures around 30 F, no wind, warm March sun, deep snowpack, 2 to 3 feet of new snow, and reduced levels of skiers due to it being midweek, today was certainly a glorious day to be out on the slopes. There’s, really nothing to complain about. Having said that, there’s...

    Vermont Snow Updates 2010-11

    From Powderfreak over in the NNE thread at Americanwx.com I noticed that some of the areas updated their totals this morning, so I’ve added them below: Jay Peak: 42” Burke: 30” Smuggler’s Notch: 30” Stowe: 28” Bolton Valley: 32” Mad River Glen: 32” Sugarbush: 37” Pico: 16” Killington: 16”...

    Vermont Snow Updates 2010-11

    We headed up to Bolton for turns this afternoon and it was a blast. I did several depth checks in the 1,500’ to 2,500’ elevation range and got measurements of 26 to 31 inches for the depth of the new snow. The boys had a great time; even though they ski powder a lot, 2 to 3 feet of synoptic...

    Vermont Snow Updates 2010-11

    We haven't been out on the slopes yet this morning, but we're getting close to 20" of new snow down here at the house, so the mountains are probably doing well. I've added an update below in the form of my report to Americanwx this morning: Monday 3/7/2011 6:00 A.M. update: Event totals...

    Vermont Snow Updates 2010-11

    E and her co-director decided to cancel ski program at Stowe today due to so many parents being concerned about the large incoming storm, so I popped up to Bolton for a bit this afternoon to see how some of the new snow was taking hold. The conditions were actually quite nice, as the new snow...

    Norquay, AB 3-4-11

    EMSC - isn't that Mt. Rundle in Pictures 1 & 4? We had a lot of fun when we were at Norquay in February 1999 - a lot of the snow in the area was scratchy, but Bruno's Gully had good snow and we spent a lot of our time there.

    Vermont Snow Updates 2010-11

    We had a little light snow activity in the morning today, but nothing that would really turn it into a powder day. However, it turned out to be a great opportunity to head to Cochran’s for their special 50th anniversary celebration. They had 1961 throwback ticket pricing, so tickets were just...

    Thanks for your updates Anthony, it sounds like you guys had a pretty nice trip and it’s nice to get the midweek updates on the conditions. Our next storm is coming into the area this weekend. It’s another fairly warm system, but the BTV NWS has winter storm watches up and there’s plenty of...

    Vermont Snow Updates 2010-11

    I think I know the article that you are talking about, but that one is about the record February snowfall in Burlington, not snow depth. Powderfreak alerted us that Burlington was getting close to a record February snowfall over in the NNE thread at Americanwx.com. According to the Burlington...

    Vermont Snow Updates 2010-11

    Looking at the Bolton Valley snow report on their website, it doesn't sound like there were any major issues in the mountains around here in terms of this storm, but hopefully we'll hear what it was like. Powderfreak has added a Stowe update with pictures in the NNE thread over at...

    Vermont Snow Updates 2010-11

    We were up at Stowe today for our usual Sunday session, and since it’s the tail end of vacation week, many people were absent. Our group had just Ty, Jack, and Dylan, but we also had Mike Cannon as one of the group’s coaches, and with his immense knowledge of Spruce and Mansfield he brought us...

    Vermont Snow Updates 2010-11

    I headed up for an early, pre lift-service session at Bolton this morning with Stephen and Johannes. We ascended Twice As Nice and hit Spell Binder for first tracks. On the headwall the snow was a little tricky due to some mid-storm skier traffic yesterday, as well as the wind that had picked...

    With the snowfall complete for this area, Bolton is reporting a storm total of 16", and down here at the house we picked up 10.5” Snow comprised of 0.54” of liquid. I’ve added 24-hour/storm totals below for some of the Vermont resorts that have reported in so far; the list is north to south...
