Photo of the Week: From Skiing in the Rain to Blue Sky Powder
Thanks to nightly snow showers late last week, nearly a foot of fresh snow loaded into many higher elevation nooks and crannies across the Northeast by Saturday morning. And with high pressure prevailing and blue skies overhead this weekend, it was hard to imagine that we were skiing in the rain, sleet (and hail?) just [...]
From Big Flood to Big Snow
Winter in the northeast…what a world of contrasts! While skiing in the pouring rain on Sunday morning here Vermont’s Green Mountains, it was hard to imagine that we would be skiing in some of most unforgettably deep and beautiful snow just twenty fours later. Then again, we are not the least bit surprised. The first [...]
45 Days of Powder Skiing!
As much as it is always a wee-bit sad to see our deep and powder-coated snow pack at the mercy of the warm air upon the northeast right now, we have much to celebrate. First, leading up to this 36-hour warm up, conditions off-piste and in the backountry, especially in sheltered higher elevation zones, have [...]
Backcountry Update: Mid-Winter Madness
It’s been snowing steadily since early January. Snow depths are now well above average in most northeastern locations, and the forecast is for continued wintry weather for at least a good week ahead. This is the time to ski… Save the chores til springtime. Cash in on some vacation time. And get out there. Apparently, [...]
Backcountry Update: Fresh Snow is Falling
Life is good when fresh snow falls day after day after day – a pattern we might be settling into this week. With snow falling steadily across the northeast’s mountains by late in the day Monday, Tuesday morning promises to offer fresh tracks on established downhill ski trails and higher elevation nordic trails. Still, the [...]
Backcountry Update – Nov 7: More Snow On Its Way?
After a fun week of skiing in the sun and snow in the Greens last week, last Thursday’s storm dropped 4-8″ of fresh snow up high, then some rain, and then it exited our region unwilling to cover up the rain-soaked snow with any significant fresh snow. Although there is now a great little base [...]

Avalanches in the White Mountains
Nearly 60″ of fresh snow over the last week has once again transformed our northeastern mountains. With 8″ of wind-driven snow having fallen this past Sunday night on the higher summits of the White Mountains, slab avalanches will remain a considerable risk on many steeper slopes in the coming days. If you are heading to [...]
Now that’s a forecast – Part 2
Only this time, it’s not for the northeast… But it’s a good reason to be excited anyhow, as 1) this same snow could be headed our way soon, 2) our good friends in the Wasatch could really use a little snow (you know it’s got to be “rough” for them when the snow stake on [...]
