Possible Nor'easter for 11/27

On Burke Mt. lower slopes we ended up with a lowly 3-4 inches, and it looks like up top at least double that. Temperatures played a factor in that they were higher than expected and affected the overall quality and depth of snow. Either way a fun day sledding around. Looking forward to the next one.

@bretton_woods is now open from the Top o'Quad restaurant! Official trail count is 5, but all trails below that point are open!

I just called and lift tix tomorrow will be $39 adult/$30 teen&junior

and Sugarloaf just announced it's opening tomorrow. No time to check details because I'm heading north now.

A few updates: @jaypeakresort reporting 12-16 atop Montrealer, @skiwildcat 6" at 2000' and 12-18 summit w high winds creating rime ice. Also someone on TGR climbed Smuggs and said it was mostly wind-scoured, with some drifts to hit. Lot of gusts to 50+ being reported across the region.

and now first earned-turn reports coming in to SKIVT-L - Stowe: deep/heavy snow at top, skiable down to parking lot; Bolton Valley 6" at base and a foot+ up top. Between water content and wind-loading it sounds like a very dense snow, which raises my confidence in trying brand new midfats on it ... doesn't sound like hitting rocks is much of a problem.

Noontime update from Stowe. Being called a windstorm in the valley. Many trees down, roads blocked, power outages being called in. Here is a noontime photo:
