Photo(s) of the Week: SNOvember 2012
By the skin of its teeth, SNOvember is living up to its name again this season. It kicked off on Saturday 11/3 with a solid dusting of snow at the higher elevations across the Northeast, and by mid-week, another round of fresh snow under bluebird skies was luring greater numbers of hungry skiers to sample [...]
Photo(s) of the Week: Marquette Season
After struggling to keep Superstorm Sandy from interfering with the lives of millions in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic regions (and dumping historic amounts of snowfall over the Central Appalachians in his attempt), Old Man Winter was finally able to shoe Sandy away this weekend. He also had enough energy remaining to deliver several inches of [...]

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: Shin-Deep Singletrack
Although at least a few skiers managed to squeek in a few exciting runs on natural snow last weekend, Old Man Winter is apparently in no great hurry to get on with things. And that’s just fine. Meanwhile, the mountain bike trails continue to be relatively dry; there’s still wood lying around for 2012-13 that [...]
Thin Cover and Twisty Trails
We didn’t quite make out with the November snow of our dreams this past weekend in the northeast, but Friday’s mountain snows made for some genuinely fun thin-cover skiing. A solid dusting to nearly 2″ fell across the higher elevations Friday and Friday night, just enough to keep at least some of us off our [...]
Photo of the Week: SNOvember Dreams
After a round of some really fun skiing through the Halloween period, some nice warm weather has all but wiped out our natural snow pack for the time being. And until Old Man Winter comes back around and settles in for a few good months, we have images like this to remind us of how [...]
A Bit of Snow On Its Way… After the Wind…and Turkey
“Damaging Winds” is the current forecast for the summit of New Hampshire’s Mount Washington today and tomorrow. There’s nothing like a 145mph wind gust to start off your day in late November! This cold, northwesterly flow of air comes in advance of another moisture-laden, low-pressure system that should start to drop some frozen precip (snow?) [...]
Photo of the Week: November Powder
Although we’ve been getting by with some seriously thin, yet skiable snow conditions this November (and still to bottom – til yesterday!), it is worth taking a moment to reflect on how great the skiing in November can really be here in the northeast… Here’s a snap from mid November a few year’s back. Enjoy! [...]
Skiing the Greens – Early November 2010
On Monday (11/8), while rain, sleet and freezing rain cancelled schools in the valleys, a thin layer of fresh “snow” in the mountains took the edge off the weekend’s crust at all but the highest elevations.
Photo of the Week: SNOvember
After one of the snowiest October’s on record for the higher elevations of the northeast, Snovember has already proven itself as another great month to ski in the northeast this season. With some colder air settling over the region this weekend, and the possibility for some fresh flakes tonight, the snow pack – which was [...]
Photo of the Week: Snow Ghosts?
Snow goblins and ghosts – We see them often in the mountains. This one seems to be a rather friendly one… Is it Ullr- the Norse God of Snow in disguise? Could it be smiling because it was snowing again in the mountains of the northeast this weekend? Happy Halloween!
