Figured I start this because I am not a jinx, the snow follows me. I have plans to ski the 5th and 6th at the Bush and MRG, so it will snow hard up there!
Pics are from Wildcat 4/5/06!!!!!!!! 15" hit them overnight and Sunday River got 10-12" so we went over there for the 6th.
I'm in for an anniversary party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

Yes. The 6th WILL be a bluebird powder day. MRG will look like this (4/1/2000):

Plan accordingly.

i skied that day at killington. never seen so much snow there that late in the season. There had been 2 back to back 18-24" dumps within a week or so. I remember some poor homeowner whose house was pretty much buried on rt 100 had a big sign stuck in the snow that said "Free Snow". amazing spring that year. The big rocks under the skye peak quad were actually buried. I cant remember seeing that in february before, never mind april.

Well....you can pretty much guarantee a storm then. I was suposed to have my now tires off on Mar 15 but I can down with a bug and couldnt get there. 2 days later? A foot of snow. Now, I'm having my snow tires taken off on the 3rd.

Please put your snow blower and shovels away for the summer too...

There was one year recently, believe it was 2002 or 2003 where on April 5/6 Killington got 30" of snow.

Another good omen, yesterday when I got home from work, my snowblower had a flat tire. Not planning on fixing it anytime soon

Yes, the Spring of 2000 was fabulous. Plus, 2knees, if i'm not mistaken, both of those storms you're referencing came on a fridays...I remember driving up on some back roads with my jeep that hadn't been plowed...to get to my place to ski the pow on sat. morning. I was loving that drive and the skiing that was to come!!
