Open at 9 am. New snow total at 6 am, 2 inches and the temperature is 26º. Forecast high today is 31º.
The snow is wet. It started as rain, switched pretty early to sleet and then to snow. It is wet snow, but not snowball snow, the kind of snow that once driven on becomes really slippery. It will groom out and look beautiful, but it will be quick, fun quick . Grooming on all trails happening this morning. This wouldn’t be a bad day to ski all the trails.
The snow last night and this morning are from the top part of this chart. The chart is from Vermont Snowflakes, I have now purchased 4, one was for Andy. We have seen snowfall this year at many temperatures. From -5º to 35º, dry snow, to wet snow. Snowball snow on Wednesday. Wet snow last night, but you couldn’t build a snowman out of it.
Looking to the future, we will be taking it one day at a time. We will be open as much as possible until the end of March. Some of the things that affect the decision are rain, ski conditions, and road conditions. I will post here as soon as we are able to make a decision.
