So much snow is expected in the Sierras, I think they broke the GFS snowfall model.
Pure snow porn depiction.
A lot of that snow will make its way over to Utah and Colorado as well. March and April produce in most seasons in the Rockies and its why I always plan my trips accordingly. Great way to wrap up the season and always give me something to look forward to. Who knows what I will ski this weekend (prob Pa since I still don't think it's worth going north but Vermont is not out of the question) but its all warm up for the big trip at the end anyways.

Looks like Southwest is wise to the weather, and the snow woes.
They were for us $822 RT for three to CO.

We've rented a house about 10 minutes out of South Lake Tahoe towards Kirkwood. We need to hook up, for sure. You don't live on the South side? I assumed you did.

Well, not according to their algorithm it's not.

Watch. It doesn't need to snow 200" for it to be great. As a matter of fact I was there for a week one time when it snowed over 100" and it wasn't as great as you would think. Its better when it comes in say 10-20" increments. The quality of snow is better in the Rockies as well, thus its called such things as champagne powder or cold smoke as opposed to Sierra Cement. March and April are as snowy as it gets out there and this year looks like its setting up to be an epic spring. Believe me the skiing will be epic when you get out there. Just booked my trip for Utah between the 1st and 5th then on to Colorado through the 9th. Can't wait.

BG doesn't car- he'll be skipping work Friday to ski that epic Pocono powder! He knows where to go! :grin:
Also: 100 inch weeks are sometimes a pain because everything closes up. Ill defend sierra snow all day. When its hammering snow by the foot and you have kirkwood or squaw terrain surfy dense pow is a dream. Sometimes it comes as blower. All of december was foot and foot of blower. It is way too hot here in general though.

12deg @10:25am in Bangor this morning....isn't this how February is supposed to be like..? Would be wild if March-June became our coldest months during this El' Nino... Quebec in June can be cold...
Quite the pic ft_NEK, now that is real ice...

So....... Is this denial from Ski Vermont? Just got this email from them which i am sure others may have received too.

March has arrived, which means our favorite part of the season is rolling in. In the last week, Vermont resorts reported up to 18 inches of new snow while continuing their extended snowmaking efforts. Cold temperatures today are preserving the trails for this weekend’s anticipated sunny days and more comfortable thermometer readings. Soft snow and spring-like conditions are right around the corner and, thanks to resorts’ epic snowmaking efforts this season, spring skiing and riding is expected to last into May at some resorts. (Read up about Vermont’s current snow conditions in the great articles linked in the text.)
A long spring season means you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy long sunny days, lots of soft turns and tons of fun events at resorts across Vermont. Resorts organized an endless schedule of events this month with something fun happening for everyone in your group: choose adventure races and competitions or hone your skills in one of many types of clinics – celebrate the season’s holidays with events to help ring in Mardi Gras, St. Paddy’s Day and Easter -- soak in the season with pond skimming, cookouts and live music – or tap into maple sugaring season. Find details on these and more events at skivermont.com/events and visit skivermont.com/deals for sweet savings.
You'll want to keep an eye on the conditions and trail updates at skivermont.com/conditions. This winter has been a wild ride, but there is still lots of ski and snowboard season left to be had here in the Green Mountains, with perhaps the sweetest days yet ahead of us.
