    As the upslope falls.....

    .....It makes me think that I need another weekend. Since Stowe is the only place left in VT that is 1) closed 2) has existing snow on the trails 3) will be getting over a foot of fresh today, tomorrow and possible into wed. and 4) has a liberal view of skinning....I think I might find myself there.

    Trouble with you is the trouble with me,
    Got two good eyes but we still don’t see!

    Of course it did Tree. That is just the way this year is going to be. I bet we don't see summer until July now.

    R U kidding me???? Now it is dumping?
    I love big dumps!! ;-0
    I didn't even see that it was going to snow. What is the deal? Actual snow or a few inches and some rain?
    Looks like, from the webcam, the frost line is at about 1800', that means OG and Ripcord are probably awesome right now. Heck, even 3/4 of Steins should be fabulous.
    This is torture.

    serious snow above 2000'. I would assume there is significantly more than a foot already and should continue through tomorrow.

    Well Jay is still open with a ton of trails if I want lift serviced. They are also getting the upslope. After two weeks of SR and the drunkfest I endured over there, I can't go back. I still don't exactly remember what happen. The Bad Liver Valley has nothing on those fools. LOL No I was thinking that a relatively quiet couple of days of skinning is just what I need. I already have several that are interested and the Alchemist is on the way back.

    I like the Mortimer Duke reference.

    They have been talking about this for about a week now. Some places on the spine may get up to 3 feet now. Here is some images from Stowe posted from our friend on FIS that posts here occasionally......

    Is the Lincoln Limo still available for rent? Where is it parked? at Mt. Ellen or Lincoln Peak?

    thanks for the link Hawk! Get after it up there! Stowe WAS great, but it was also quite crowded today.

    Honestly it doesn't matter what kinda base was left at a ski mountain. There is so much WET and HEAVY and DEEP snow along the spine of the Green Mountains right now, that everything is a go. Stowe will be fun.. but so too will EVERYWHERE

    don't worry about trivialities like a base right now... GO SKIING!!!!
