Dual Late Season Storm Thread

[ss20]

Skied 9-3:30. I'm cooked. Can it be tomorrow already? Still snowing at a good clip as of 4pm. I had high expectations and they were exceeded. It is obviously very slick under the new snow fyi, but with 8"ish inches of fresh there's plenty of pockets of packed powder and powder to ski in.

Stowe was awesome, I was in the trees all day today. I can't wait to get back out there tomorrow, it should be another good one!

I need a beer! Still snowing steady at Stowe. Hard to judge totals as the wind picked up this afternoon. Smuggs should be getting the same.

Expect Stowe to groom out the usual blues overnight along with Nosedive and maybe upper Hayride. Liftline is filled back in but you'll want to stay skiers left above the Midway pump house . . . center and right have only what's fallen covering bare ground from yesterday. Expect everything inbounds to get skied off but the trees are in play. (^great pics Tonyr)

Sounds good. Maybe the 117's will be too much..bringing the 95"s as well. Better in the trees.

Lots of great pics! Must say I am a little jealous!

2:30PM Update- Both the Lookout Snow Cam Plot and the High Road Snow Plot have recorded 5" of new snowfall so far from this storm (great consistency between the two sheltered sites). Due to gusty winds and drifting, we found varying amounts of new snow on the trails today. Steady light snow continues and we may see another couple of inches overnight.

Bring whatever you like the least lol. I wouldn't call things thin, but in some spots it's 10" on top of a base and other spots it's 5" on top of literally nothing. And no way to tell til you're on it of course hahaha.

Thanks!

Today I skied the Nosedive Glades, Christy Glades, Tres Amigos Glades then sidecountry I skied the Goat, Starr, and Centerline woods, Partridge, and finished the day off skiing Pipeline. What a nasty run that one is! This photo was from one of the drop ins near the top of the Pipeline run, it's one of the toughest trails I've skied especially with the light coverage up there today. I had the only tracks on this one!..........

Since I recently started noodling around in the woods..whats a good glade to float around in at Stowe..I've done the lower ones and a little of the nosedive.

now or during prime season?

 

[kingslug]

now. tomorrow.

now. tomorrow.

Try the Nosedive Glades, they are still in good shape and really fun. The thing about Stowe though is that the best glades there are all pretty much in the sidecountry and don't show up on the trail map.

Breaking out the powder skis tomorrow after finding this massive amount on my back deck at Mount Snow this evening!! Lol!!!

That is a photo from from my terrace at 7.30 am this morning at Stowe, it's still snowing lightly here. It's going to be another great day out there!

Jay's report says 12".

 

[NYDB]

What I've learned from this thread is you have a 'deck' at Mt. Snow, but if you are at Steaux its called a terrace.

 

[KustyTheKlown]

12” in 48 at Jay. Coffee and cannabis in the stateside lot. Today’s gonna be rad

 

[NYDB]

Nice. Hippie Speedball. I am definitely jealous here sitting in the office.

Looks like the Bush is getting some lake effect today.
