For some reason this is blowing my mind. Am I just a moron with a shitty memory? Help me out here.

Keeping with the trend. 16" at 6, 25" at 9, 31" at 11.

Side roads haven't been cleared yet. Pretty sure the only way I'm making it to Sunapee is with a plow on the front.

FINALLY the snow that we have been waiting for

**Gman** · 12-17-2020, 11:07 AM

You're welcome, I move to California and vermont gets nuked

Reminds me of the storm that hit magic in either 2017 or 2018 where they got like 30+ inches. Watching DoWork come down red with head over blower was awesome. Hopefully everyone is getting after it safely and having a blast!

Also, since when are there waiting rooms for the Vail websites (Okemo/Sunapee)? I guess it beats crashing the website.

Im about to head out and hopefully get some turns in. We got about 10" so far in Braintree, maybe just far enough south to get it.

I noticed that too. Just trying to check the snow report, and it said I needed to wait 10 minutes.

From all the pics I've seen it's definitely real! Crazy how Killington just 30 min north has "only" 16 inches.

Be sure to report back. It'd be cool to have some skinning options tomorrow.

Official total in Peru was 44.3". A record snowfall.

Any truth to Okemo not spinning lifts today for too much snow?

Delayed start for quad and coleman. Nothing else opening.

Bromley has the Alpine chair and 3 trails. Magic has Green and only a few ways down.

That much snow take a while to deal with particularly when most of it fell after 3am.

Woah. That is all.

Watching the radar this morning. Between 6 and 7:00 a heavy band set up over south/central VT and just sat there. THEN another heavy band swept in from the south and merged with it. However instead of the combined bands pushing north, the new super mega band sat in roughly the same place as the original. The precipitation rate under the core of that band must have gone straight from light speed to ludicrous speed and possibly plaid.

That’s a f-550. There is 38” on top of it. 44” inches outside the door. That’s in East Dorset

**Vt-Freeheel** · 12-17-2020, 12:44 PM

Boing!

**From_the_NEK** · 12-17-2020, 12:54 PM

Got to Bromley to learn that they were not ready to open and didn't have enough time to deviate to Stratton, fortunately I brought my skins. Equally as fortunate there was a groomer trail headed up to the Sun lift as it would of been a slog of a skin track up to the summit. Did 2 laps off to the East side. Then came down through a glade on the west to finish. Legs are cooked. Wasted deep in many places. The wind scouring the pow was appreciated in places to get speed. If not, it was too deep and not steep enough to move! Back to work/zoom mtgs by 2, I could get used to this!
