My wife and I are both of the opinion that trees make steeps easier. Something about that vertigo, it's nice to have a vertical frame of reference at least in the peripherals.

NAM 3k puts the bullseye on Killington and Pico. Let's see.
I totally get what your saying about the trees....although it a totally false thinking As the trees only add danger.

keep the faith
Latest NAM 3k is awesome.. for me anyway. Killington and Pico still in the crosshairs at 16" if 10:1 ratio... Stowe at 14"... Southern VT sorta misses out but anywhere that's a mountain in NH does well. ADKs nice hit too.

edit... 18z GFS coming in and couldn't disagree more... still saying big hit for SoVT and SoNH, small hit for the north. This is enough to drive a skier mental !

Planning on getting out tomorrow, even if it is dense, it'll still be fresh.

Will be evaluating my Max Pass options in the morning and hitting the road.

Unsure where I'll end up at this point.

Just have to watch the radar, only constant appears to be decent in southern NH.

HRRR/GFS/EURO (hit in southern VT) vs NAM/RGEM (hit from K/Pico north). I will shave my head if K north grabs more than 10".

If the ratio is 10:1 or better it should be good!

You guys are really having a rollercoaster season - warm last week refreeze over the weekend snow tonight thaw over the coming weekend into next week. Holy crap!

The secondary low looks to be developing well south east of the NAM's positioning which would steal the precip from K north and the White's barring some elevation magic (which is always possible).

Still shredded on radar as modeled, southern NH still looking ok. The backbuilding, or lack there of, is what will make or break SVT/Berks.

It is going as planned thus far really. The hits were this evening (southern NH and VT with 2-3 inches down) and then pre-dawn to early morning tomorrow.

The predawn- early morning back fill is the big question. The 0z NAM, RGEM, and HRRR are clinging to it in southern VT and NH. NAM puts 1-1.5 inches of liquid down (over juiced as usual), HRRR puts down about a half inch.

Awesome to hear! Figured Monadnock/Jaffrey area would do best being east of the shredding and could keep it going.Hope for more tomorrow morning!

K is reporting 5" this morning. No other MAX pass mountains have checked in yet. Storm seems to be a bit of a bust though. Probably gonna stick with the short drive and just run up to Sunapee

Southern NH for the win...

Crotch 7-9"
Sunappee 8"
Mountain Snow 7"
Ragged 6"+ (According to FB)
Jay 6"
Bolton 5"
K 5" (they were snow holed on radar all night, would love to see pics of it)
Stratton 4"
Meow Pow 3-5"
Bush 3"
Berkshire East 3"
Cannon 1-3"

Still going in the Whites and north of MRV, could provide another 1-3", maybe more at Wildcat.
