A string of storms that began producing snow last Wednesday produced as much as 40-50″ of snow over the course of several days in some high elevation zones along the northern Green Mountain Divide. Generally, mountain areas in the Northeast picked up 10 to 25″ of fresh snow from these systems, which has improved snow coverage dramatically. Well-timed with the wrap up of one of the busiest weeks of the ski season (due to school vacation week), the storm lured countless skiers and riders to alpine and nordic ski areas, countless backcountry destinations, and to a great variety of snow-season events (including the Stowe Derby), for what were undoubtedly some of the nicest snow conditions of the season. The storm also made it possible for skiers and riders to slide into many lines that have not yet been safely skiable this season, like this little alley right here, off Vermont’s Monroe Skyline.
The weather maps indicate that we should pick up more snow on and off all week all, with a solid pulse of snow late Wednesday through Thursday, especially. It’s nice to see Old Man Winter taking good care of us again. (Click on images below to enlarge.) – Brian
