Those snow numbers on the map probably should be multiplied by something like 75% or 80%. Still an awesome storm, but I doubt those figures verify in most areas due to temps, daytime storm / sun angle, etc...

lol. its ok. it was sold out last night when i went to check. I'm kinda glad. 600 lodging + 85 mrg ticket + gas in the mid 4$ range is just craziness. sugarbush Saturday, not sure if north or south. bolton jay or sugarbush sunday depending on roads and if i want to drive north to extend my final drive south.

everyone drive safe and have fun this weekend

NWS point & click jackpots Stowe at 13-23", Jay right behind at 12-20". Mt Ellen 12-18".

Still banking on Jay getting a few more inches post storm that the others might not get.

Guess my plan is 1/2 day at Sugarbush or Bolton on Sunday (because theres no way in hell I'll be getting up early enough for a full day with DST starting), then stay in St Albans with Jay days Monday and Tuesday and Sugarbush Wednesday before heading home.

Right where I want to be
Wind has me concerned for Sunday. Took Monday off to pick up the scraps.

Sunday
Areas of blowing snow before 3pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 18. Windy, with a west wind 34 to 39 mph decreasing to 25 to 30 mph in the afternoon

Was at Crotched today and a patroller told me they expect a LOT of rain followed by 2-3 inches of snow. Trails are thin with some bare spots developing. Its going to be ugly there Sunday!

Very real chance I'm about to drive roughly 14 hours round-trip and ski a total of 0 days. Gotta risk it sometimes.

Wind is a real coin-toss at this point. As per modeled it looks like it will be okay, but when you're dealing with strong energy like this, "as per modeled" is more like guidance than reality. Seen it go both directions, good/bad many times before.

I mean...some of the usuals might have a tough day with wind Sunday but in that case just go where the wind isn't as much of a factor. Bretton Woods might be the best bet for a combo of decent snow totals and least winds if you don't mind driving a bit.
