Surprise snowfall in northern Vermont mountains
Wednesday, January 27, 2010 at 01:37 PM
Well surprise, surprise! Northern Vermont ski resorts are reporting up to 12 inches of snow has fallen on their slopes in the last 24 hours. Yippee!
We knew there was going to be light snow this week, but this is much more than expected.
Thank you, Mother Nature, for exceeding our expectations on this one!

Yeah! I was worried the BC might take some time to get back in shape, but this is a great start... and February usually just gets better here!

This is good news - my sacrifices to Ullr apparently worked (we even got a nice snow squall down here in NJ)! Question - My daughter has a school vacation in late march, and I'm thinking of skiing in vermont (as opposed to colorado). How are the conditions that late in the season, and any recommendations on where to go? Thanks.

Hello! Late March can be really good. But, it can also be serious spring skiing conditions and fewer trails. If you want to play it safe, look at Vermont ski resorts sitting at higher elevations. Also stay tuned to this blog to get a sense of the snow conditions as your vacation approaches. If you go to the homepage and scroll down, on the right you'll see the Archive list. Check out posts from the last couple of Marches to see what it has been like the last couple of years.
