I'm not sure how look the snow conditions in new england actually, but here there is about 0 natural snow in the townships, while there is a TON of snow in the laurentians, in the snowbelt, but covered by a big crust of ice 
Hovewer, looks like a bunch of people of our people from Zsk are heading up north to the Saguenay Lac St-Jean and Gaspesia, where there is SO MUCH snow, it's incredible. The Valinouët and Mont Édouard are already closing on the 20 feet of snow so far this season and they've got something like 10 feet since the last rain (they got 25 to 35 inches last weekend). In the same time, Gaspesia, which has a more normal season received about 30" of snow last weekend and 3 avalanches occured on the super extremely steep north side of Val d'Irène. One in "le Mur" (wall), one in the "Cascade" and one in the "Renversante". These trails which are between 45 and 55 degrees steep (no joke, Cascade is closing on the 55... according to the people there and according to Google Earth) are so steep that several avalanches occur every winter, after big dumps of snow.
We went 3 weeks ago and on the 2nd day of our trip, I was the first to ski in the "Renversante" and just with the 4" of new snow overnight, the snow began to slide down the trail, for at least 150' high... what an experience, I was happy that there was not a foot of new snow like our first day (while other people had skied it before us)
I was wondering if there is a lot of places in the east where there is some in-bound avalanches... any idea ?
