It’s a lot thin out there.

Closed, still waiting for the return of winter.

We have been making the news, for all the wrong reasons. I’ll post a picture of the Washington Post quotes at the end.

We haven’t lost all our snow, but the cover is thin. The photo that made the paper is Ian on the start of the Woodcock.

I have been asked to predict the future and give some hope to this weekend. As of this morning I am not hopeful. The coming storm is predicted to go up the St. Lawrence valley. Storms that go west of New England bring warm weather and moisture up from the south. Not a good scenario.

If we were “wishcasting” we would say it might come this way and bring us snow?! But in reality, with the forecast as of today, Tuesday morning, the forecast is; starting as snow, quickly changing to rain, raining for about 12 hours, switching back to snow.

If some how we get and keep enough snow, we will open. But, I am not going to hold my breath.

The photo below is from January 9, 2023. Two inches of snow on the logs, is the two inches of snow from January 6 and 7th. Looking off in the distance it looks skiable. Looking down by the logs is really what the trail coverage looks like.

The Bennington Banner story generated a call from a reporter at the Washington Post. Not many reporters call when we have lots of snow and the skiing is fantastic. I would rather have the snow and good skiing.

    Well at least you made the Washington Post.
    I know you and we all wish it wasn’t so.

    1. Too bad the Post doesn’t call when the skiing is fantastic. Soon! We will ski again soon!

    Maybe the season will go into April??? March is usually our snowiest month.

    May the snow come soon and linger way into March.
