snow-forecast.com is predicting 11 inches of r**n Sunday morning mid mountain at Mt Snow, I have found they tend to exaggerate their long term forecasts but hopefully this is some sort of typo

You’ll need an ark to get through a foot of rain

At least you were on the "safe" side of the island.

Vermont Resort Gets Almost A Foot of Fresh Powder in One Day. Sugarbush Resort in Vermont keeps laying the good news--and the snow--on thick as almost a foot of fresh pow piled in over the last day. Officials at the mountain posted a mouth-watering Instagram post yesterday of covered trees and people riding little features off to the sides of the trails with the caption, "11 inches of base building in the past 24 hours."​

From gusty winds to dangerous thunderstorms and even "SNOW" as a massive storm will affect 180 million people in the eastern half of the United States this weekend. As the next storm system is coming Sunday into Monday (12/10-12/11) with more Warm "R" Moisture then we would like. A lot of the Northeast is looking to see "R" numbers into the multiple Inches before a late night change over thankfully to wet snow then to dense heavy snow. The middle of VT and the more North you go is looking at the possibility to pick up more then 6" of snow at mountain elevation and repair some of the Snow loss from the "R". Killington, Stowe, Sugarbush, Jay Peak and the most Northern Mountains might see even greater Snow total numbers into the Double digits : )

Lower Vermont and the rest that don't get Snow get your Rubber boots on the "R" will be intense.

Ok..I'm in.

 

[slatham]

Models trends are more backside snow, especially to the north.

 

[kingslug]

Bring it....

 

[kingslug]

Reports are now..8 to 12 plus for stowe..up to 20 for jay...

It looks like this could be the "don't look back" storm of the season. Also, a great way to do a load test on all ski infrastructure.

If the storm stalls or wobbles, Killington will get the reach around event they live for.

If Jay does in fact get 20" or more, y'all would have more snow than anywhere in North America except for Alta and Snowbird.

Tram's first day today. They are almost 100 percent open. Hopefully this storm doesn't kill that.

 

[BodeMiller1]

This is a predictable weather event. I promise it will snow to beat the band.

There are fully open mountains all over North American now. So a tasting of what is considered open terrain with Trail counts this early in the season "week 6" around North America. These are considered lift serviced trails at some of the open ski mountains on 12/9/23. Hike to your delight for more trail fun.

This is (24-48hrs) before a Storm system impacts with lots of "R" and Snow
4:20 starts the East coast and the Northeast

And places that truthfully report snowfall.

Jay is near-100% open this weekend. If they truly were lying about their snow totals, that wouldn't be the case while Stowe is half open and Bolton is 2/3 (and they're very laissez-faire with openings).

To be clear, I don't doubt that they're picking favorable locations to report snow from. But they've had an incredible early season.
