With the amount of snow they are getting, even if you are up canyon, good chance you are interlodged anyway.

Jay along with all of Vermont is irrelevant to me this season given I can't meet Vermont's travel bar. So can't answer your question as I don't even bother looking.

answering my own question - jay's report says nothing of crust. smuggs report says powder and packed powder. an instagram i follow of a northern vt backcountry dude posted decent looking pictures today, and in the comment thread said north of 89 is ok.

Skied Hunter today.......back to normal icy and fast, where they didn't groom was closed. For upwards of 5 weeks you didn't hear skiers skiing when you were on the lift, but now it's scrap scrap scrap. Oh well as the saying goes if you can ski here you can ski anywhere! Still better then no skiing at all. 2-5 inches now predicted between tomorrow and Friday night. Hope it stays cold, for as long as possible.

Magic had a rare but drastic freeze-thaw (low 30s-single digit temps in one night) that firmed up all their ungroomed terrain, forcing them to close all of it temporarily. Note that Magic is made up of probably about 60% ungroomed terrain. Expected snow this week also dwindled, with Philadelphia currently forecasted for more snow than anywhere in Vermont for Thursday's storm. Going super good till now, hopefully VT has a good storm in store before the end of the month.

No skiing for a while..They have to bomb the whole place. Road is closed..avi danger at extreme. Even inbound slides will be a good possibility. The people that are up there have been trapped inside for going on 3 days now. One of the few reasons I base out of PC now when I go. But when it opens...oh boy.

Jay storm report from another forum .
.. a couple buddies who skinned up before work yesterday, said with the wind and freezing R up top it was some of the most difficult change-over conditions they'd dealt with in a long time, thank goodness for the secret always-open door to the Tram House. Also saw that they reported 6-8" and knew that didn't pass the smell test, classic Jay over-reporting their snowfall totals again...

dang, thanks. i guess stratton via ikon it is on sat. grooming + ~4 inches should make a skiable surface.

Ok this makes sense based on following the weather like I do. obviously not the thaw/freeze of SoVt but not a pow day either.

The Casa De Slug residence in SoCT if I am not mistaken.
Going to be crowded in VT on Saturday atleast based on the availability calendar for the Vail Resort properties. All 3 are sold out reservation wise right now....

ah, local casa. that makes much more sense.
about 3" on my front steps in Brooklyn and things seem to have stopped. underperformance here is great. i don't want to dig my car out again. i got plowed in during the big storm and it was a gargantuan task to get out.

The Southern latitudes seem to help with this one thus far. Maybe 0.1" at my office in Northeast CT thus far at my wife's office in Southeast CT (basically 30 miles due South of my office) she's had almost 3" fall on her car while at work today.
And if I don't have to clear the driveway at my house tomorrow morning before heading to work, I certainly won't be complaining after the amount of "quality" time I have been spending with my snowblower the last month or so!
About 4" here in Rye Brook NY. Top inch a bit denser. It was spitting a little ice when I was out shoveling an hour ago. No freezing r.
Still planning on day tripping to Windham. Groomers will be fun with a few " even if not enough to make bumps soft.

Web cams at Gore show..nada..but forecasts show it moving in tonight up to Saturday in waves. The radar kind of shows this. Cams at Hunter and Bell showed it snowing all day. I'll be at Gore this weekend..first hand report is groomers are good..everything else under the crust.
Snowed pretty good in NYC today..was nice to watch it. Not fun to drive home in it. Someone took out a friggin lightpole..how the hell do they do this?

shit happens. i had a very scary near miss a few weeks ago. was driving home from magic. on nj17 southbound. it had snowed all day but by now it was sunny and the roads were clear. quite beautiful actually. sparkling. so i'm in the left lane and traffic is moving nicely, and i see a plow in the leftlane northbound throwing slush into my lane. i had my window open a crack and my only thought was 'close the window to not get slush on face', so i did. i didn't think much of the actual slush, but my drivers side wheels hit it and i lost control, swerved to the left and nearly slammed into the wall, over corrected and crossed three lanes to my right perpendicular to traffic. somehow didn't hit anything or cause anyone else to have an accident. pulled over and sat at a gas station for 10 minutes shook as fuck. did not tell my girlfriend.
