I haven’t provided an update on the ski area snowfall totals that we’ve seen with this event, so I’ve listed some of the totals I’ve seen below. Bolton Valley is topping the list with around 4 feet of new snow, which is not too surprising the way the upslope snow has been focused on the western...

As most know, there’s been a lot more snow since my Sunday report. We’ve had about 20 inches of snow down at the house, and the huge upslope flakes continue to fall. Some of the west slope communities and the mountains are in the two foot range for accumulations at this point, so the NWS was...

Stowe, VT 05DEC2010 By Sunday, enough snow had accumulated that we decided to head up to the higher elevations and check it out. Without much of a base, we didn’t expect the skiing to be too great, but it would be a good chance for Dylan to get on his skins and see how everything was working...

As the forecast indicated, we’re back into the snow here in Northern Vermont. Accumulating snow levels came down to around 1,500’ at the end of the last storm and the mountains have a fresh coating of white. We actually had some snow in the air at the house (~500’) as well, but no accumulation...

As I mentioned in my last update, the weather did get somewhat wintry for the Thanksgiving period, and down at the house we picked up our fifth accumulating snowfall of the season. In that AmericanWx thread, Powderfreak also added an update from Stowe, with a shot of accumulations at the base...

My last addition to this thread was back at the beginning of the month, so I figured I’d add another. There hasn’t been anything too inspiring in the snow department to pull me away from other stuff, but folks have been skiing, including lift served at Killington. The Friday Ski Club guys had...

For any skiers that use the easternuswx.com forums as a resource, it seems that the new website is americanwx.com I'm passing the info along because apparently the transition to the new site wasn't smooth and there's currently no mention of the new site at the old site.

Over the weekend we had another dump of snow in Northern Vermont that got some of the skiers out - it sounds like this one generally dropped 6 to 12 inches of snow. I didn’t head out for turns, but I’ve seen reports on SkiVT-L from WM Walker, Jumpin’ Jimmy and Justin Woods. It sounds like the...

I’m not sure if he’s posted a report anywhere else yet, but Powderfreak’s latest trip to Stowe was from Saturday, and he added a few pictures in a post at Eastern. It’s our first “snow on snow” around here as he calls it, and based on his comments to MRG over at Eastern, it sounds like it was...

There’s no new snow accumulation to report at the house, but it sounds like there may have been some snow in the air based on what E saw in Morrisville and Powderfreak’s reports from Stowe. The mountains picked up a bit of additional snowfall with that event, with an inch of new snow recorded...

I think places like Shames are awesome, and I want to go to them. I just continue to get the impression in these threads that there are already questions of economic viability at that level, and the MRA model seems even more extreme. Something without the cost of lifts might make for an easier...

I’ve been waiting for this comment since around page 2 of the discussion, but haven’t really had the time to do more than simply read along, so I’m glad that rfarren brought it up. Going with a lift-served model seems to be one of the big problems here because the economics don’t make sense in...

The Nor'easter is finally over here and we actually had some sunny skies today. Storm totals here at the house were 0.3" snow/2.68" liquid equivalent, and for Mt. Mansfield were 25" snow/4.93" liquid equivalent. Ty and I skied up at Stowe yesterday and the snow was certainly wet compared to...

Even before the storm existed, the formation of the season’s first Nor’easter had appeared likely for several days, and with it, the appearance of at least a few flakes in the higher elevations of the Northeast seemed like a good bet. However, the question of the whether or not we’d see our...

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 overnight, which was presumably snow in the higher elevations (Mt. Mansfield is currently at 30 F at 3,950'), and it is still raining, but no...

As of the past hour or so we've been over to straight snowfall with accumulation even down here at ~500' in the Winooski Valley, so presumably the local mountains are getting hit pretty hard with snowfall at this point.

Snow started in the Green Mountains this morning, and snow levels appear to be down to around 1,500' with flakes seen mixing in as low as 700'. There's certainly going to be enough snow for skiing tonight/tomorrow in the higher elevations, now it just comes down to seeing which areas do the...

There's no snow to report today, but winter storm watches are up in parts of the state due to the Nor'easter that's coming through, and there should be some snow in the higher elevations around here by toworrow. Powderfreak has made some forecast posts at SkiVT-L, and FIS has a nice discussion...

Based on our current understanding of the causes of the decreased snowfall reporting at the Mt. Mansfield stake, the amount of correction that needs to be made to the original table appears to come down to whether the snowfall deficiency is caused by 1) a portion of the snow simply not being...

We got our ski teaching aids from Steve Lathrop’s Apple Rise Sports: http://www.applerise.com As far as age goes, with the help of the aids children can basically begin skiing once they can stand. Steve has started kids as young as 7 months old as he indicates on the Apple Rise page. Ty and...
