Note the crosshairs (those are where the stations are located). If you did you would notice that both the Mt. Mansfield station and the Jay Peak station are located ON MOUNTAIN. Curiously, the Lake Placid station is located near John Brown's farm (near the ski jumps) some 13 MILES FROM WHITEFACE. How is a station that doesn't get significant upslope snowfall because its in the middle of a freakin' valley going to represent what is occuring 13 miles away on one the high peaks? Your "stats" don't prove a thing.

I've pointed out the flaws of bestsnow.net before. This is a site that lists Whiteface's primary exposure as south. Anyone with a topomap could see otherwise.
Yes it clearly states where it is located. Just using it as reference point in elevation. I don't believe there would be a significant difference in totals at that elevation at Whiteface.

Still, where are all the glowing reports from Whiteface about how great the conditions are?
