Upslope snows.. wind carrying moisture runs into a mountain and is forced upward, rapidly cooling and creating cloud and precip.


Jay ended up with almost 30 last night and Stowe with a foot or so. I'm actually headed up to Stowe tonight as well... looks like we should at least get something Saturday overnight. Not huge but maybe another 6 to go along with the 18+ that has fallen over the past 48.

I road Stowe on Sunday. Sugarbush Saturday. A bit hard to see is almost an understatement lol. It was a damn whiteout at the summit on Sunday. At one point, exiting the gondola lift (around like 2:45), I really couldn't see more than about 40-50ft ahead of me. I loved it
Ha yeah, I may have understated that a little. I went in the trees for a bit where it was a little better seeing... but the group I was with aren't huge on the woods so we went over to spruce for a few runs which wasn't as tough.

I had a pretty solid low vis wipe out on liftline. Upper section skiers right.. directly under the quad. Was moving pretty well through the moguls, kind of lost my line, couldn't speed check, couldn't really see and literally ate a mogul. Thankfully it was soft.

I'm going to Stowe on Saturday and Sunday. It will be my first time on an actual mountain so I am extremely stoked. Hopefully great conditions await.
Should be pretty solid.. they won''t get a ton of love from this system but another couple inches and some wind mid-week and what looks like pretty nice riding conditions for the weekend.

Not sure if its your first time this year or ever.. but spruce is always a nice place for some of the more mellow stuff and is usually quiet.
