Sundown got a solid 12". I would say perhaps as much as 14" (I left my yard stick at home...).

gotta wonder how much of that they left ungroomed, heh.

Too bad only 7 trails are officially open. That surprises me. I've seen them open their natural snow trails with just 18", but that was an actual 18" day. Based on all the other reports in the area, I would guess 18" is bit of a stretch. That area seems to get more snow than surrounding spots so I guess it's possible. Best mountain in southern NE for natural snow runs. I suspect that many of the "closed" natural runs will be poached today. They sometimes marked their closed trails with signs and not normally ropes.

Crotched is reporting 16" of new.

It is possible that WAWA actually got what they said this time because I got 14" in my driveway about 10 mi (as the crow flies) from there.

All of it, amazingly enough.

I myself was very surprised when I got up there last night. It was beautiful. That definitely doesn't happen at Wachusett much but they are smart enough to leave it alone when it does...



I love takin jumps and not feeling the landing... like landing on a pillow.... ahhhh....

I'll agree. Just got back from Wa, the snow was certainly there. I was skiing in the woods today, it was a blast. Connifer was flippin amazing at 4:45 after they groomed it.

Also managed to take 3rd place in the Rossignol Go Huck Yourself slopestyle today ;-)

Just took a shower, looks like I got a nasty bruise from my switch 540 attempt. Ha ha ha.
