Backcountry Update: Fresh Snow is Falling

Life is good when fresh snow falls day after day after day – a pattern we might be settling into this week. With snow falling steadily across the northeast’s mountains by late in the day Monday, Tuesday morning promises to offer fresh tracks on established downhill ski trails and higher elevation nordic trails. Still, the snowpack off-piste and in the northeast backcountry, below 3000′ especially, remains very thin, and in the higher mountains, it’s just beginning to make off-piste navigation worthwhile. Still, it’s only mid-December. Some forecasts are calling for significant buy clonazepam online uk orographic (upslope) snowfall to develop in many mountain areas on Wednesday. In the meanwhile, get out there and enjoy the fun skiing already in effect…and think snow.

Also, be sure to take a peek at a few of the photos captured by our friends at Famous Internet Skiers during last week’s super-fluffy, high-elevation snowfall in Vermont. Had we not been in the midst of our usual Nov/Dec excursion to Central America’s Bongo-Ario watershed, we’d have a few more images from last week to share ourselves. – Brian
