BUT its snowing none the less, and ill be earning my turns for the next couple weeks hopefully:beer:

Still snowing on Mansfield at 115 Sunday (now). that's great since temps usually start going down about 2pm. Easy to get first tracks today. Pea soup on top. Mostly Vermonters only today. Spruce is closed for the season and not due to lack of snow. Mt. Mansfield corp committed to operate until the 29th. midweek quad will be the only lift running. Very seriously planning for a tues or wed trip.

Stuck home at least for now. Have to keep eye on the boat, don't want it to end up as a lawn ornament. Wonder what the roads will be like Mon morning.

Snow has just picked up in intensity here in the UV. Not really sticking to the ground due to warmer temps on the surface. I'm sure it is sticking up high though.

Started snowing around 8:00 at kmart. Picked up in intensity as the day went along. I would guess 6-9'' around the moutain as of 2:00 when we hit the road. Driving was trecherous, too many accidents to count on 89. Turned to sleet around warner and plain rain as we got closer to the seacoast.

Well over a foot at the Bush by 4:00. Heavy snow as I write this 29 degrees at the Base. Last run today was special.

Just insane conditions at Killington, with the heavy stuff still on the way tonight. I frankly don't even know what to say anymore.

NOAA is predicting that we should stay all snow above 1500' with 2-3' by tuesday.

Right now here in Stratton it is snowing heavily, though the snow only just started sticking about 1/2 hour ago with sunset and the intense UV Rays gone.

The next three days should see some silly deep powder skiing.

The crazy part of this ski season is that the snow just keeps on going with the snow getting deeper as we head well into April and ski resorts are closing with lots of snow on the trails.

The snow at the summit of Saddleback was way deeper than last week and I could bury my ski pole and keep going up to my elbow.
