VTah Part VI — The Most Highly Anticipated Snow on Earth!
By: Greg
February 28, 2012
Deep on a graybird day. What could be better than that?!
Pure, unadulterated, unabashed, VTah deepness was on the menu from start to finish Saturday, and it was highly anticipated.
The most amazing part was though, when we got home, it was still snowing. Hard. And it snowed hard until at least 8pm when we all face-planted into a pillow after face-planting into powder all day.

Awesome photos.

wrote on February 28th, 2012 at 5:13 pmYeah, when the Northern Greens go off, that Champlain Powder™ sets the standard in quality blower; valley snow analyses on Saturday revealed 7.1 inches of 3.8% H2O snow between 6:00 A.M. and 4:30 P.M., and then another 8.4 inches of 2.1% H2O snow between 4:30 P.M. and 10:30 P.M. That’s snow way in the upper echelon of quality that many places in the world don’t typically see.

wrote on February 28th, 2012 at 8:42 amHey there, great news! what a weekend. Haven’t had this much fun in ages.
Wanted to get up to TD but friends decided they wanted something different. I mean who wouldn’t want to go for TD with so much POW out there!!! Oh well, I digress. So wound up going to the Hump. Not as great as you guys had it. I told the party they made a big mistake heading for this area, but they wouldn’t have it. Oh well, I did sneak off on Sunday and went into the north side of Belvidere. It was a good thing to bring snowshoes. Lots of POW. Very
stable, as far as where I went. Good stuff. Came back via Hazens and made it
down almost to the main road. Oh well it was great. Let’s take it while the goods are good. You all have a great (SAFE)time out there. Have fun! BC

wrote on February 28th, 2012 at 8:46 amSorry Gregg. Forgot to mention those GREAT photos again. You guys do a smash up job of it. If anyone isn’t excited, then they need to look at those pics and get it going. All it takes is a little energy, and bang you are on it. Love the photos, keep ’em coming. This year has been so snowless, that it’s like having christmas morning all over again. Again SUPER PICs.
