Skiing above the clouds at Jay Peak in Vermont

Thursday featured skiing above the clouds at some of Vermont's ski resorts, while Thursday night and Friday featured a mix of snow, sleet and rain. Grrrrrrrrr. Jay Peak, Vermont

The ski resorts are reporting that they picked up a couple inches of snow, but they also got freezing rain and plain old rain. The groomers will have to work their magic!

Check on the latest conditions on our <link internal-link>Vermont ski resort snow conditions page, where we have direct links to snow reports.

Very cool.
