I had to start a new post because this is too good to be buried. Seriously. I told you I like the october pattern two weeks ago. Some of you may have listened. Some may have not. I told …

So before we dive in and I stick my neck out there, lets get a few things out of the way. First my goal is to give you an overall idea of what is in store, and when I think …

As you many have heard (and if you follow my tweets and those on FISWX you would know that there is a very decent chance this weekend of seeing some snow flakes. As an aside, we are going to …

Welcome back! Hopefully you all had a great last month. I know I sure did. If I had a camera I’d even tell you about it. But I don’t….so you’ll just have to imagine what I …

A lot of folks focus on the summer solstice as the turning point from summer to winter. They say: “the days are now getting shorter” or “we’ve made the turn away from the sun.” As any bona fide ski addict …

What is going on? I don’t care. Thank you Ullr! If you haven’t heard, a surprisingly potent upslope snow storm ravaged northern Vermont Mother’s Day, and gave skiers a fresh playground to enjoy. The stake on Mount Mansfield officially picked …

This was a great winter. Sam and Allen skied and worked all fall, then spent three months traveling in India. They saw amazing things, skied great snow, long lines, and mind bogglingly large mountains. Greg and Ben spent the bulk …

Mad about the fact that those darned Famous Internet Skiing kids have been skiing powder? Well its not too late to get some of your own as a late season system looks poised to send us back to winter? …

The last time we logged a full trip report the summit of Mount Washington was experiencing record breaking heat, and we wore T-shirts and sunscreen circumnavigating Mount Adams IV. Since that time, the weather has changed. While the valleys have …

Today is pretty easy to describe: Fantastic! Fantastic–and much needed. After a snow drought of what seemed like weeks, Lionel called for an “Upslope event of debatable strength” to affect the ADK, Greens and NEK, and bully-for-the-FIS, Stowe finally got …

As we enter what we all know is the heart of winter, the Catskills, Adirondacks and Southern VT are looking at their first synoptic snowfall in a long time.

With this all important three day weekend looming we should prob. have a little chat about the weather on the slopes (boy that sounded lame. -1 man point).

Two systems are set to affect “Ski Country” and should bring a few more rounds of light to moderate snowfall to the area from Sunday to thursday. Click more to find out what’s the story (and see our …

By the time the ball drops, you look for somebody to kiss and start to regret having the filet, you’ll know whether Crystal or Andre will be the bottle to pop open. (If you don’t know what Andre is …

There is a lot to address this morning and I’m sure all of you are busying wrapping presents, baking cookies, decking the halls and keeping those maids a milkin’ from getting out of pocket (’cause you …

Just a few quick thoughts on a very important week for ski areas.

As Scott has pretty much covered the Midweek system as I would I’m not going to add very much. I just want to comment on the latest trends with the system and then talk about what’s on tap for …

A little over 2 weeks ago, Lionel posted this in his blog: “Timing-wise I’ve basically plotted turkey day as a pattern shift day and these models agree that sometime soon we’ll see a shift to a colder pattern.” He then …

Things I love about Thanksgiving:
1) No bull- the day is about good food and spending time with people you want to spend time with. No present stress to muck it all up.
2) Stuffing. ’nuff said
3) Leftover turkey sandwiches with gravy …

Low pressure developing today off the mid-Atlantic coast will ride up the Eastern Seaboard tonight and tomorrow, rapidly strengthening as it does so. This low will undergo cyclongenesis (maybe even bombogenesis) as tracks north past Cape Cod and Boston …

Finally after weeks of boredom we may actually have something of importance occur weather-wise.  The jury is still out this storm but the potential for is there for a long-duration precipitation event across the Adirondacks, Green Mountains, and White Mountains …

Scott’s Weather Postings
Scott spent the first 18 years of his life suffering in the flatlands of the Hudson Valley just south of Albany, NY. He started skiing at the age of 3 on small hills in the nearby Berkshires, …

That’s the question I’m getting asked these days and it’s a pretty valid question given the fact that pretty much all of the planned November 21st openings here in Vermont have now been delayed (ie. Okemo, Sugarbush, Stowe, Mt Snow, …

I’m going to start out with a text based update here and if I have time later today try to get some maps up.
If you have been following Scott and I you would have learned last week that chances were …

This was one of my favorite and most popular TR’s over on TGR, now it’s here for your enjoyment too!

It snowed a shitload. It was all upslope and only snowed at the mountain. If you want to see what happened …
