wrote on April 30th, 2010 at 9:58 amSo Good! I am still stoked from Wednesday turns. And when it dumps like that again in OCTOBER (or May, maybe!!), whoever missed this storm, get in your car at 4 in the morning and head to the hills. You won’t be disappointed. Well, you might. But adventure is like that.

wrote on May 1st, 2010 at 11:50 pmI too was @ Stowe Wednesday, what a day! 14 inches of snow to provide the base, with drifts abound too. My focus was on the Havride trail. Great powder skiing, but would be nice if we had gotten more storms in traditional winter season.
Stay tune till November/December 2010!

wrote on May 2nd, 2010 at 8:19 amHey Subzero. Thanks for checking in, and thanks for the comment! I have to take issue with your snow total though, and set the record straight here ;)
According to professional record weather keeping (not a ski area “snow report”) , near the nose of Mount Mansfield 21″ fell from the sky over the course of the event: 6″ on Tuesday, and 15″ on Wednesday. And these are measurements that are taken at 24 hour intervals, so don’t account for snow compactification between readings–which I personally think was significant given the weight of the snow late on Wednesday. That information, along with our on-hill “observations” are where we got our estimate of 20-30″. I know we got a LOT more than 14″ at the very least. I had the pleasure of breaking a skin track with 4 other folks in way more than 14″.
Subzero83
wrote on May 2nd, 2010 at 9:33 pmAgain understood, my reference number was just for the Wednesday (as a day) total, not for the preceding snow fall that came Tuesday. Right Right Greg, definitely a total of more than 14” (as a total snow drop from Tuesday through Wednesday).
At the end of the day the snow was welcomed, and could have been even more. But alas, it was not.
Subzero83
wrote on May 2nd, 2010 at 12:32 amAh yes Greg.
Had friends @ Jay-peak that day, likewise with the Stowe punch off of (varying degrees of snow mounds of 14-20 plus inches) they had reports of solid 18 inches plus in that neck of the woods. If only the day was long enough to trek to all three important stops of the northern VT triangle of jay, Stowe, Smuggs.
Duly noted on the events that transpire. Maybe VT will get more magic this next late fall/winter. In review those mid-Atlantic moisture pushes would have been a real blast if they had been more northerly in February (2010).

wrote on May 2nd, 2010 at 10:49 pmNews Channel 5 on the snow fall totals, right on Greg. Jericho (west side / valley ) of Mt. Mansfield… 20 inches in Jericho, 20 inches Underhill, VT.
Know of anyone that hiked / skinned up from Smuggs side, anyone?

wrote on May 4th, 2010 at 8:32 amGuys, Guys, You just have to keep the faith. Vermont won’t let you down, ya just have to be REAL patient. The last storm was a last of the season taste, so you will come back again next season. Our mountains are not as big as some of the Presi’s or the Daks, but I believe for what we have, we have some of the most interesting terrain one needs to have a grand time. By looking at those great pics, I’d say you guys found that grand time, one more time! Keep having fun.
