Stratton is opening Sun Bowl tomorrow.

Report says 15-20 more trails opening tomorrow in addition to the 16 that opened today. Hoping for glades. Also keeping an eye on Killington. Noticed stuff like Old Superstar and Vagabond are open.

Measured 24" (maybe a couple added via some drifting) on my back deck at about 2100ft before I sent my kid out to shovel out the grill.

Ride up 91 to Brattleboro was all rain until just about the rest area on 91 North a couple miles South of Bratt.

Light to some occasionally moderate slush on 9 up and over the hill and into Wilmington, 100 out of Wilmington up to Mount Snow had some light snow cover. Took me an extra roughly 20 minutes to make my drive up this afternoon

when i get to stratton, first thing i'm hitting is kidderbrook ravine.. that thing looked sick (from videos). can't exactly say test pilot caught my eye but it's pretty big so i'm sure there's some cool spots in there. want to hit squirrels nest and why not as well, although those are very small.

Check out Vtrans.Vermont.com For live coverage … pretty bad road conditions when the locals are not driving. Just a heads-up

I'm pretty amazed how many cars showed up in the parking lot at my condo tonight (in the Mad River Valley). Being further north and having to drive through more of VT no matter where you were coming from could not have been fun...already heard there were several cars stuck on the access road tonight. I guess personally I just don't get driving through the middle of a storm (even with snow tires and AWD/4WD).

91 totally clear. 30 had some rough stretches. Love the new tires. At Stratton earlier than expected. Gave myself a lot of time. Enjoy the day all

Got to Stratton base at 8:45. Fucking shitshow. Lots full, huge line of traffic waiting to get into Sun Bowl. Bunch of New York plates stuck in lot 1 with no one directing traffic. Massive lines for the shuttles. I forgot how much I fucking hate this place.
