Funneh^^
33.6` and 0.0" of new snow bob. Gary said the storm broke up but northern NH got some snow. Looking out the window the snow line looks to start approx. 100' higher.
I forgot to add, the polar vortex is back, not happy with this.

The polar vortex IS back!! I laughed. Hold on to your bucket hats.
anybody got any beta on the WF toll road? would be nice to get the skinny sticks out
^^^^seconded - I am curious if they are going to continue accessing the summit the next few weeks and plowing it - I think the big politicos go up there for safety seminars -
Posted by smuggs a little while ago. I'm sure there will be more pics later today as certainly there are more than a few mags out playing on the fast grass...

Thinking stowe might have better cover due to prior snowmaking but damn that picture looks tasty!
Welcome back Bucket!
I'm hoping to get out this afternoon to put some boot tracks in this but the real world might win today.
Headed to Steaux!

I made it up to Mid-Burke yesterday and snapped a few pics. Most work is occurring in the basement of the Hotel right now. This scene should be a bit more white today. :)

Forecast is looking good for lunch on the deck and beers after.
What was the mountain ops vibe and skier traffic like at Stowe today? I imagine its going to be an overgrown sledding hill tomorrow.
Got there around one and not many people on the hill. I saw a lot more people climbing up when I was headed down.Quote:

Headed back to the local hill this afternoon. Didn't have a ton of time, but did a couple laps and found some nice dense supportable pow. 1"-6" with some drifts here and there. Saw a few other tracks but not much traffic. That will likely change this weekend. I suspect every uvm student with a new $3k at setup will be up there stomping around.
Photos were tricky due to snow, fog and nightfall.

From Rocktober to Snowvember, I can dig it. Thanks for putting up the fast grass (and better) stoke. Just nice to see the hills covered up by a few inches, even on the small screen. Hopefully won't be too long now for some consistency.
One to six is better than one to none for sure, slowly getting better. We need some freezing of the ground soon. Be careful out there tomorrow fighting the crowds.
Snow from Bethel to Rochester, Icy in the gap; somebody spun out and needed the Hook. Snowed from Hancock and continued as I wended my way up Plunkton to E. Warren. Gonna have to scrape the car windows in the AM.
Just cleaned out the gear closet and waxed a couple of decks...Fkna right..It's on

Very nice conditions yesterday at Bretton Woods with a few inches of fluff on top of snowmaking whales.
Hope it's good again this evening. . .
Looked plenty nice for such scant cover. Was a work day so just I just hiked it with the work crew.Quote:

BW was solid, sketchy, early season, nighttime fun. It was a pleasure skiing with moops and JS, and to see a bunch of you at ESAW. What a great day!

The Kitty opens….and free too!
Surprise! Wildcat Mountain will open Sunday, November 9 at 10 a.m. offering top-to-bottom skiing and riding on Lynx trail via the summit quad chairlift. There will be no novice or beginner terrain available and early season conditions will be variable. Seriously, it's early season, expect the unexpected, but we'll be making every effort to groom overnight tonight...but some of that snow was just made today.
Skiing and riding will be FREE on Sunday, November 9! You will have to obtain a lift ticket, but it will be free on Sunday. Considering the time of year and the approaching holiday seasons, we do ask you to donate at least two canned good food items or a small cash donation on behalf of local food pantries.
