I think the Saturday of MLK is the most crowded.

It didnt, right back to rain Friday on the NAM. Canadian came in much warmer too. Still time for it to change; at least it's not a deluge anyway.

I'm seeing about 4mm of rain after maybe an inch of snow for Killington and southern VT. It's not catastrophic. A week ago I was thinking of not even bothering with this weekend.

Did metro Boston get any snow from this storm (I'm hoping the answer is no)?

Where snow is possible, maybe an inch per GFS & NAM, but you'd have to be far north. Nothing on the Canuck.
And I agree, it's close enough on the GFS & NAM to hope elevation keeps it all snow, but the Canuck is 38/39 even into Canada.

The fact Stowe is telling people to stay out of the trees despite 7" of snow, is not encouraging:

The Boston / Metrowest area received a few inches before turning to sleet, freezing rain, then finally rain.
Strange. Killington reported 10" and they've been dropping ropes on naturals and trees all day.

Killington also switched to a sleet mix Midway through the storm according to their report. So that will increase the density of the new cover and pack it in better than just 7 inches of fluff Stowe probably got.

I read that the snow in Stowe was actually very dense, not powdery at all.

Jay Peak reported 8 to 10, and already had by far the best base, and even they said "mid mountain trees are skiing the best", which to me is code for, terrain that is steeper and not holding snow may still icy. Will need to see some various trip reports.

After skiing the trashed out exits on Anarchy and Julio over a week ago before the rain and warmth I would have to agree with that exact evaluation for K.

Word on how So. NH did? Thinking of taking a half day at work tomorrow and jumping up to Crotched if it's not a sleety mess.

I skied Crotched today. They got about 6 inches, very dense snow. Everything skied good with only UFO and Jupiter's left ungroomed. Solstice glade was skiable, and will get better with more traffic. Being the first one on ungroomed sections was not ideal. The snow was starting to set up a bit when I left at 4 ish.
I was there today. The naturals were pretty decent but the trees were horrible. At least "Chop Chop". More like Scrape-scrape on ice/rocks.
