Ending on a pow day? That would be a fun way to end the season.

I think theres a higher chance of the Easter bunny being real than that coming to fruition.

I seriously don't know what service Vail uses for their weather feed...but it doesn't align with any of the major models or any actual forecasts that I can find.

Not saying it’s impossible. More the fact that the Stowe forecast on EpicMix has been showing storms that never come to fruition all season.

 

[Kingslug20]

I agree..I have no idea where they get info. I think they make it up.

Precisely. Or they'll take a weather system that will generate a chance of some elevation dependent snow showers of a couple inches and turn it into a prediction for "heavy snow".

So people show up...

 

[ThatGuy]

Thats exactly the kind of psychological bs Vail would pull. Next they’ll trademark “Mansfield Magic” and put it on shirts sold at a pop up next to the egregiously placed Stowe sign off the Gondi.

 

[Kingslug20]

And mansfield medly...

looks like Stowe.com's weather feed is from OpenSnow:





If you go to OpenSnow, the forecast displayed is for a 'mid mountain' elevation . . . Forecast Elev: 2,460ft | Base Elev: 1,280ft | Summit Elev: 3,640ft while the feed for the Stowe website uses the Summit and Base elevation data.
