Last week I said big storms like #Nemo didn’t excite me that much. Reasonably, people asked: “Well what does.” Simple answer: Upslope snow. I mean, need you ask why?
And we have some coming. Yay.
Today, a low pressure system …

On thursday a moderatly strong low pressure system will skirt along to our north. As it does, it will push the ADK and VT into the warm sector, bringing some snows along at the front end from WAA/isentropic lifting. Once …

Over the next Starting later tonight and continuing over the next four days (wait let me check..thurs, friday, sat, sun…good ok 4) a prolonged orographic lifting based snowfall is set to affect the North Country with the most focused …

Gonna do a full write up on the weather this week (’cause it’s active). Here is an amuse bouche to start:
WELL hyped coastal low will move up from the Southeast mid-week. It will bring potentially …

Older people tend to say “they hear the pitter-patter” of little feet with affection. Generally I hear the pitter-patter of little feet and think “ugh, germs.” Or “ugh, don’t get my couch dirty…I better move that book so little sloppy …

In the middle of a whole bucket of nope comes a ray of light; a glimmer of nope… I mean hope.
Currently a large low pressure system is sliding through Ontario and will slide northeast through Quebec overnight. I don’t need …

Well here we are again, on the cusp of another winter season. Feels like we’ve been here before doesn’t it?. Some resorts have opened full time, others are set to go this weekend. Turkeys have been …

You may have noticed that we’ve been dreaming about schuss over on our Facebook page since August. Well the dream has finally ended (or has it just begun?), and we notched our first schuss of 2013-2014 today after an upslope …

Starting on Tuesday a storm complex will move into the Northeast. From Tuesday through Thursday night we’ll see steady snowfall across all major northeast mountains as the “storm” unfolds in 4 parts. Totals will generally be in the 8-16 …

My affection for Upper Level Lows is pretty clear. As is my love of all things pagan and norse. Lucky for me, it seems this week will combine these two loves and bring the Northeast some interesting weather.
Beginning …

Well, another midweek comes and goes, another midweek upslope pow event comes and goes. So what’s next right? Well how about some more snow? Would you all like that?
So, remember in Nemo when I talked about how two …

Well that was nice….looks like more is on the way
Tomorrow, a wave of low pressure is going to develop to our southeast. It will move up the coast and stay to our southeast. It isn’t going to be as potent …

Twas the night before deepness, and all through the mounts,
not a creature was stirring, not even a moose.
The ski-socks were drying, by the wood-stove with care,
In the hopes that Ullr bringer-o’-upslope soon would be there.

‘Twas the night before deepness, and all through the mounts,

I mean maybe.

Update: Friday at Noon.
MAYBE NOT….This storm has already deposited 3-5 inches of snow in the ADK/VT as the warm front passed thru last night. However its really NOT behaving as modeled.
A much stronger low than …

Eariler this morning I wrote the following on Facebook:
Over the next week the N/E is going to have two shots at seeing some flakes. The first chance will come Sunday night into monday morning. A trough swinging down and …

This Spring isn’t done yet, and it dished up a nice upslope event last Friday/Saturday, GAPERil 27th/28th. This wasn’t quite as great of a storm as “How,” but it was certainly good enough for not just a high one…

…or a …

We got out for a quick lap of some late GAPEril powder this morning:

You need to get out there! Jay Peak Resort is spinning lifts tomorrow, and a serious upslope storm is overhead RIGHT NOW. MOVE UP to Jay and …

Spring had sprung. Right? From low to high, skiing was more or less done for the season, right? After all, a week of unbelievable heat had scorched the northeast, The Mountain was closed, the lifts had stopped turning, and the …

Yesterday, we came up with the great and totally juvenile idea to write this post and load it with sexually laced puns, double entendres related to balls, and a smattering of blatant dick jokes. But since our moms read …

I have to be honest, there were big plans (read: it was written, and ready to be published) behind the many closed doors of FIS to call this VTah Episode VI: Return of the SHREDi. We would start with a …

Have fun this weekend?
I did. I also got in a fight over Shot-Bloks but that’s a story for another time. (FYI don’t touch G’s Shot-Bloks.)
