We'll certainly be able to recover in the MRV as we have a nice base. No question that it's a big hit, though. We'll need some good back end snows to get up and running again.

Too bad the MRV is not on the western side of the Greens...we've seen temps in the 20s all day and sleet/freezing rain. Have a couple inches of sleet on the ground. I imagine sleet is better than rain . Drove up to the store to get something this afternoon and the roads were scary. This is coming from someone who loves winter driving!

Anyone know how Stowe faired overall?

I hated that storm. It seemed to last forever. The rain was cold enough that we didn't seem to lose much base, but there is going to be some nasty crud for awhile.

We did pick up a bit of white at the end, which at least improves the appearance.

just got back from Smuggs and MRG (report later) Smuggs was decent on Sat, got to MRG this morning and they werent sure if they were even going to open, down trees, and the sinlge froze overnight in mid turn (they kept it running alll night so it wouldnt freeze up, but it did) the crews were on the towers (starting wiht the double) deicing it...winds were wicked, a few guys hiked up and i saw them when they got back down....the only word that they muttered was "BRUTAL" ...with that being said we called it and drove home..luckily we didnt buy a ticket...heard SB was hurting as well...we shoulda shot over to WF

This from MRG's web page|:

Well we have certainly had an interesting weather weekend. On Saturday we saw a fair amount of rain followed by freezing rain, significant icing, and then snow overnight. While the rain was pretty voluminous we really didn't lose too much of the snow pack. We have picked up a solid 3-4" so far and it has drifted in nicely and if it continues to snow at this rate we will have some real nice skiing in the morning. Call us Mt. Lucky as it appears we have escaped this "weather event" in suprisingly good shape. We gave the mountain a chance to drain today and the grooming fleet will make the novice and ointermediate terrain most enjoyable for skiing on Monday. The steeper trails and our famous glades will be more variable but should offer some good skiing with some areas being better than others.

Mt. Lucky? Well, considering that a week ago it was looking like this would be a monster snow maker and it had the worst possible track for us, I wouldn't agree with that. However, it's true that the base seems alright. If we can pick up another three or four inches tonight, I might even go skiing tomorrow.
