Oh ye of little faith...I have already told you there is going to be plenty of powder for next week.

It's destiny.

update:
Mixed bag from stowe north into the 'dacks. Snow on the backside could be decent so there will be fresh coverage in the end.

Based on what? Latest AFD from BTV indicates that the Dacks and S/C VT are most likely to see a mix. In general, this sounds good for Bolton Valley on northward and eastward to remain all or nearly all snow.
