Area skied: Mount Snow, Vermont

Date skied: November 28th, 2016 from 12:00pm - 2:30pm


Weather: Sunshine, temperatures in the low to mid 30's


Surface conditions: Packed powder, wet packed, hard-packed and variable.


I skied solo yesterday afternoon to enjoy the last of the good early season snow conditions before the rainy deluge sets in. I was really impressed with the large amount of high temperature snowmaking going on especially with 1-2" of rain in the forecast for the mountain. It was 36F on my car thermometer when I arrived at Carinthia with fan guns blazing.

Looks good! I imagine it must have been totally empty given the early season, midweek, and right after the holiday. Hopefully the rain doesn't hurt them too much!
