Photo(s) of the Week: Sandy Ushers in Winter
After wandering by a TV today for the first time in weeks (months?), it was nice to see someone smiling about the fact that several feet of snow was expected to fall over the central Appalachians Monday and Tuesday. In light of Sandy’s devastating impacts on many areas in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast, one positive [...]
Photo of the Week: Ultra-Thin Cover
Another round of fresh snowfall blanketed the higher elevations of the Northeast this past weekend. And while it didn’t amount to more than an inch or two – aka ultra-thin cover – the combination of the ground being more frosted and the snow being denser than last week made for even smoother skiing. Word on [...]
Photo(s) of the Week (Updated): Fresh Snow… First Turns!
Thanks to fresh snow falling across the highest elevations of the Northeast on Sunday night, snow sliders enjoyed some of their first turns of the season on Monday. And while Old Man Winter welcomed us back with only a few inches of snow at the highest elevations (4-6″ atop the porch railing of a cabin [...]
Photo of the Week: One Inch Rule
The last couple of weather fronts and rain storms have ushered in the beautiful fall season in classic form. It’s amazing how Mother Nature, with the flick of a her switch, can take us out of a distinctly summery weather pattern right into the cooler, crispier and breezier days of fall. At least a few [...]
Photo of the Week: It Won’t Be Long Now…
It won’t be long now before the first solid nor’easter of the season pulls enough cold air down from the north and let’s the snow fly across our northeastern mountains. Over the past decade, this scenario has consistently played out by mid to late October in the Northeast, and when we are lucky, the cold [...]
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 [...]
