Looks like we caught about 4" on the NH seacoast. Interested to see what some of the mountains got.

Hey winn, what are the chances of r**n next weekend at Stowe? Some forecasts are showing a good chance of precip for Sunday or both Saturday and Sunday. I'm hoping it is just light showers.

The southwest flow certainly favors NCP sorry to say. How much? It doesn't look like a massive soaker system--mainly showers, and they'll probably be on the light, isolated to perhaps scattered side. The dominating ridge of high pressure over us is a weakening feature for approaching rain so it is a saving grace and I would lean towards a drier solution. Much of the moisture may be funneled/focused through the Midwest. Can't say right now if we'll get several light showers or a few heavier showers.

Ok thanks for the update.

Corn snow off the summit at Whiteface, mashed potatoes in the middle, and water/slush at the bottom. I love getting my ass kicked by a mountain.

Hoping to hit Killington next Saturday and Snow on Sunday. I'm not too concerned about Killington, but this week's forecast at Mt. Snow makes me worry, given their limited season snowfall.

This past Sunday at Platty was some good sun and cornish snow and some mashed potato but not bad, great fun as always.

Wondering the same thing. I have the whole weekend to myself. I need to get out one more time and think it's time to give Platty a shot.

Sorry about late response, no Platty base had few inches to on black runs off double not much their I do not think they will make it with these temps, maybe some trails with machine base under the triple but inless they have snow again Platty is probably done after this sunny week.:cry::cry::cry::cry: but on drive past Bell looked like nice base from what i saw on the road, Hunter weekends will not be crowed anymore spring and they have made a great base from what i heard, Windham i only did once several years ago. honestly Hunter is what i would do Catskill wise or utah:fangun::fangun::fangun::fangun::fangun::fangun:

Platty not having a good base after this week, i very happy i made it last sunday, Hunter will have a great base and crowds go away any they have good deals now, even Bell looked nice when i drove past it, at platty expert terrian had light base sun hurting, blue runs off triple have nice machine base they might make it to next weekend with a few trails open, i think best kept snow is now going to be Gore White face and north VT ski areas because of cooler temps in higher elevation , Hunter is fun this time of year, too, Gore season pass is being sold now, i put up a link soon in the season pass thread. with skiing for this year at gore.:fangun::fangun::fangun::fangun::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:
