October Snow: The 2011-12 Season Is Here!
Our good buddy OLD MAN WINTER is back! He’s been throwing snow at us since Wednesday in many mountain areas of the northeast, and currently, the mountains of southern Vermont are likely scoring the deepest snows in the region, with more than 6-8″ falling in the Killington/Pico zone. Although the snowfall close to home in [...]
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: Skiable snow on its way?
9/30 UPDATE: Forecast for approaching cold front has shifted, and snow is now unlikely Sat pm/Sun am, but still mildy possible Monday night and/or Tuesday night (more likely) after the weekend. We’ve seen photos of the first dusting of the season way up high in the Whites, and we’ve heard rumors of a few snowflakes [...]
Pray for Snow
Although there is some very fun skiing to be had across the northeast right now, including but by no means limited to a few lift-served spots at Sunday River, ME and Killington, VT, it’s exciting to think the approaching storm system could leave us with another round of snow for the weekend. Until then, a [...]
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!
Photo of the Week: Moonlit October Corn!
Oct 21, 2010 – Although you might have had to ski it to believe it, the skiing in the days following last weekend’s nor’easter has been beautiful and utterly spring like. With increasingly mild days in the valleys, and crispy cool nights, the snow’s been transforming to a near-perfect corn snow in the mountains – [...]
Old Man Winter Returns!
The first significant snow-producing nor’easter of the 2010-11 season dumped 10-30+″ of heavy snow over the highest mountain areas of the Northeast this weekend (VT’s Greens and NY’s Adirondacks, especially), and skiers have been out since Friday (10/15) morning embracing the return of our good friend Old Man Winter. Here are a few images from [...]
Photo of the Week: Let it Snow!
It was exactly one year ago when northeastern skiers were making their first turns of the season on our local ski hills and higher elevation pastures. Over 6″ of snow fell at the higher elevations (just enough to coat skiers’ favorite moss- and grass-coated hillsides), and when the fog and clouds cleared, it was a [...]
Photo of the Week: Dirt Road Skiing
There’s no better way to get in shape for the upcoming season of skiing adventures, than to go skiing. And if you haven’t before rocked a pair of dirt-road friendly roller skis on your favorite back roads, they are worth checking out. Known to most as a pavement-based training tool for serious and competitive nordic [...]
First Snowflakes of the Season?
Although the higher elevations of NH’s Whites and NY’s Dacks received a dusting of frozen precipitation (some would call it snow) back in mid-September (does anyone have any photos to share?), we have yet to witness the first real accumulation of snowflakes over our northeastern mountains this season. We could see the snowflakes flying this [...]
Photo(s) of the Week: Snow On Its Way
“Just think, we could be skiing thirty days from now,” were the kind words I woke up to on Sunday morning. At this time last year, we were truly just thirty days away from the first good snowfall of the season in the higher mountains of the northeast (click on thumbnail below). Thirty days. For [...]
