Haha I thought maybe that was the case or you were just super hardcore on windy powder days :) I just arrive in Brattleboro was raining past Albany & through Mass and as soon as I was 20 mi from Brattleboro it was all snow wet though. Wet snow is falling at a steady pace.


Passing through Bratt Dunkin Donuts around 6pm... I'll beep :) headed to Montpelier for the evening..

haha dunkin donuts is right next door to where I'm staying at the Super 8. I'll be sitting in my room praying to the snow gods for a great pow day tomorrow enjoying some brew. :beer:

This is a hard one to call. I can't get good info from NWS on this one. They'll probably have a better idea early tomorrow morning.

Have a fun ride up and over from Brattleboro :eek:

Totally missed page 2 of this thread anyways, how crazy of a ride is it? I've got 4 wheel and tires with good treads. Given the potential road conditions obviously driveing very cautiously how long do you figure it will take me in the morning, I planned to give myself at least an hour probably 1.5 hr to get to the mountain safely.

You should be fine. Taking Rt 9 to Rt 100? Usually a 30-40 minute ride in good weather.

Yes that's my route, thanks for the info. Im so curious what it's doing at Mount Snow right now it was snowing before sundown here in Brattleboro at 633ft but turned to rain at sundown. I'm hoping it's all snow at Mount Snow base 1,900ft and up, forecast looks like the real bad wind isn't going to start until afternoon hopefully an epic morning, stoke market is rising!:)

If anyone going up tomorrow or friday would like to meet up for some runs pm me and I'll give ya my cell # to call or text.

I may head over tomorrow. I'm on my way up now. Gotta get things set at the house tonight. Stuck in traffic, so it'll be a late start tomorrow.

powhunter called. Reported thin breakable crust over cement. Apparently VERY challenging skiing. Bummer.

Mount Snow was great today. There was a slight crust under the fresh but easily able to be broken through without much issue just a little harder on the legs.

Sorry I didn't call you Pow Hunter I ended up arriving a little later than planned since I seen the Summit Express, Sunbrook & North Face were on hold and got there at 9:35 and ended up making friends with a local to ride with a bit in the morning then it slipped my mind.

I posted a full TR with pics on another forum I will link but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to. Delete Gregg if it's against the rules but here it is.
