Photo(s) of the Week: A Taste of Spring in the Alpine
Although it was gusting to 80mph atop Mt. Washington, NH on Friday, and temps were still in the teens across the north country at sunrise today (Saturday), Old Man Winter has handed the reins to his good friend Spring for the weekend – even in the alpine regions of the Northeast. Most solar aspects experienced [...]
Photo (Image) of the Week: SNOW LIKELY
While it’s still officially fall for a nearly another week, a wintry forecast here for the mountains of the Northeast (like the one depicted here, for north-central VT) is a sight for sore skiers’ eyes. And while this is still just a forecast (Courtesy: NWS), it is one of many that have been trending toward [...]
Photo of the Week: Deep Thoughts
It’s late August. Summer has crested. Pre-dawn temps might dip below forty degrees in some colder mountain zones this weekend. It’s dumping in the Andes. And the first issues of Backcountry and Powder magazines have already hit news stands. Ahhhh… It won’t be long now. Meanwhile, the hype about the winter season ahead has become [...]
2 Wheels, 2 Planks: Heftiger Schneefall
Relaxing back at camp in Switzerland’s Engadine Valley – Credit: EmberPhoto We’re pretty sure that’s German for “heavy snowfall”, and although we’ve managed to score some beautiful sunshine-filled days in the alpine over the last ten days in eastern Switzerland’s Engadine Valley, heftige Schneefall has been the norm here (stay tuned for some more photos [...]
Photo of the Week: Last Gasps of Winter?
Although the forecasts are calling for unusually warm temps through at least the next seven days (with the exception of Wednesday pm – with snow possible in the mountains!), we’re confident that Old Man Winter will grace us with his presence again this season before spring takes over for good. In the meanwhile, it’s worth [...]
Photo(s) of the Week: Vacation Week Storm!
A string of storms that began producing snow last Wednesday produced as much as 40-50″ of snow over the course of several days in some high elevation zones along the northern Green Mountain Divide. Generally, mountain areas in the Northeast picked up 10 to 25″ of fresh snow from these systems, which has improved snow [...]
POWDER ALERT: It’s Going to Snow!
While forecasters are busy trying to predict the course and final outcome of the approaching weather system, one thing is clear: It is going to snow. We can smell it. And, for the first time ever, a wild snowshoe hare ran across our path at AdventureSkier headquarters this morning. We’re treating that as VERY good [...]
The Old Man Shows up for Turkey! Are You Ready to Ski?
A winter storm warning is now in effect through Wednesday for much of the north country – including the Adirondacks heading east into Maine – and some of the luckiest locales may pick up close to two feet! of snow by the time this storm moves out on Thursday morning. And while our snow forecast [...]
Photo of the Week: PRAY for Snow
Our good buddy Old Man Winter finally seems to be heading our way again. And after he dusted our mountains with some real live snowflakes this morning, forecasts are in good alignment with respect to some fresh snow falling in the mountains on Thursday into Friday, and then again later in the weekend. Anywhere from [...]
Photo of the Week: This Time, Last Year
With snow falling in the high elevations of the White Mountains as we write this, and with reports of mountaintop snowflakes streaming in over the weekend (thanks to Dave Bouchard for the first-hand evidence from the Green Mountain spine on Sunday morning), it’s likely just a matter of days before at least a few of [...]
Photo of the Week: First Snow in the Northeast
The higher elevations of New Hampshire’s Presidential Range scored a fresh dusting of snow Friday night/early Saturday, thanks to plummeting temperatures and some lingering moisture over the mountains. This is by no means the earliest snow on record for the Mt. Washington region – snow has been recorded there in both July and August many [...]
A Snowy Season Ahead? …Some forecasters think so.
Many forecasters believe the coming winter could be another snowy one for the mountains of the northeast, thanks in part to a prevailing La Nina condition in the Pacific and the effect this could have on the jet stream pattern for our region. According to the report on Accuweather.com’s Meteorloical Madness blog, “…The cold will [...]
