I have a reservation for Bolton as I have to bring my son to Norwich U. May have to cancel as well. 🤬 but will wait until Wednesday or so to make my mind up.

Looks like a possible base builder for So VT. rain to a couple of inches of slop that'll groom up OK and cover the rocks on the natural terrain after the refreeze.

As of now, this certainly looks like it WON'T be a repeat of the X-Mas Eve/X-Mas day absolute Monsoon.

No where near as much moisture with this one atleast.

There's a reason professional meteorologists don't change their actual forecasts based on 1 run of 1 model... :)

Also fascinating is that different sites interpret the data differently from each model. Here's an example of the 12Z GFS run for 120 hours...

Same model data...yet the outputs definitely have some subtle (albeit noticeable) differences.

Then either you roll the dice and buy a ticket before they sell out..or you wait until it gets closer and maybe they sell out anyway.

Yeah, this one is going to be a tough call, but eith way it looks weak. If it goes wrong for us, it shouldn't be damage producing other than just making everything even faster and firmer.

According to the weather app (never super trustworthy), both Sugarbush and Stratton are expected to get 3-5 inches of snow with a high of 35 degrees. Looks pretty good as of now and I just hope it stays that way.
