Stowe Mountain Resort reported 6-8″ at 6am, and by 9am they were reporting 8-12″. At first I thought it was a joke; just two days ago a demoralizing deluge destroyed our deep delightful descendable snowpack, and I assumed the reports were just a ploy to get people to drive to the mountain. Boy, was I wrong! My only regret is not having gotten up there sooner. The mountain was covered in a light dry coating of AT LEAST 12″, the bottom third of which was of a heavier variety, and hence stuck to the rain crust exceptionally well.

Ever since I first opened my copy of Lou Dawson’s Wild Snow I’ve wanted to ski Mt. Katahdin. The tallest mountain in Maine, Katahdin has alpine terrain, an imposingly sharp, rocky ridgeline, and, yes, a 15-mile approach. The scale, the views, and the remoteness are all reminiscent of a peak out west, not some sleepy Appalachian hill. The difficulty of access is part of the allure, in the sense that backcountry skiing is about getting away from the daily grind and into the wilderness. Fortunately, over MLK weekend the stars aligned and we had the weather and stable snow conditions to get some great skiing in.

Feb. 2010…analog discussion of what’s in store:

Well kids it’s pretty quiet. We got a nice MLK day storm that dropped 8-10 inches across so. Vt and then really hammered Maine. However, other than that, things look pretty quiet around here. So I got to thinking about what we might be looking at in February.
