Short and sweet update to begin to compliment Lionel Hutz’ excellent forecasting. Had to head to Stowe for business purposes, and found rain at the base, an inch at the top and accumulating snow levels at 3000 feet at about 3PM. Here’s the view of goat from the parking lot at that time. Foggy and almost nothing. The contrast is boosted to be able to make out the terrain in the fog.

October Nor’Easter: FKNA! (UPDATE!!!)

I had to start a new post because this is too good to be buried. Seriously. I told you I like the october pattern two weeks ago. Some of you may have listened. Some may have not. I told you we had a storm coming a few days ago. Again some listened and some did not. Well listen now: We have a storm coming and it’s bringing snow, potentially deep, to the Northeast.

SPAM #5: The (Other) Stowe Derby (Redux)

The SPAM Series continues as we humbly present a bit of stoke to help get your stoke-meter into the “dangerously high” levels. As you should have heard by now (COUGH! Pay attention to our ski weather guru Lionel! COUGH!), a behemoth of a storm is bearing down upon the northeast right now. While Lionel is hard at work keeping you updated, I figured I might as well add a little something extra to the pot. Here’s a series of Skiing Photos AMalgamated from one of our favorite trips from last season, The (Other) Stowe Derby. As we neared the finish line (read the story in the TR… seriously…I think it’s pretty funny) of our private running of the Stowe Derby, Ben had the lead and I snapped this sequence of shots of him taking the plunge. It was an interesting chute to schuss and shoot between the avalanche, ice fall and ski-race we were holding (read the story), but I think Ben did an outstanding job of schussing in difficult conditions. I hope you enjoy the shot!

Active October pattern may bring first Nor’Easter (UPDATED 10/14, 5:45 AM)

Original Discussion from October 11th, 10PM:

I’m not going to get too “hype-y” but as some of you will undoubtedly hear very soon, this weekend could very well give us our first Nor’Easter and accordingly first higher elevation snowfall.
