Pretty much all of the natural snow is gone. Man made trails took a huge hit. I would say on average a loss of about 18" of base.

Pretty big hit here, but still a couple of feet in the yard. Thankfully, we had such fantastic snow that we should be back to where we were if we can get favorable weather going forward.

I love going to bed with the sound of the rain on the roof when it's May or early November. Sounds like the drumbeat of doom when I hear it two days before Christmas.

I skiied Wed-Sat last week. Great conditions. Killington on Wed was fantastic. Hunter was great too.

Haven't been since, but my report is that Hunter took a big hit.

Really a shame, I was starting to dabble with some success in the woods there.

My cousin was at Cannon Monday and said it was nasty. Anything that did not have a bunch of manmade on it now has lots of bare spots. I'll be there tomorrow to survey the damage for myself.

I went to Mad River today, which has all natural. The snow was still in good shape. Not skiing like a dream, like it was last week, but there was still full coverage. The woods were tough and they were forced to do more serious grooming than they usually like, but not bad at all, especially compared to the last couple of years at this time.
