Northern Vermont 06/07

hey coyne86 and brg –

i’m bailing for tonight/tomorrow @ tucks. things are bulletproof w/ little hope for thawing before early next week. have fun up there on your break if you go, hope things soften up a bit for you.

by the way, poss some snow on sunday night??

had an excellent tour today w/ a buddy up again. wasn’t sure we’d still be able to skin from the truck, but were psyched to see we could. got up to the pass just as snowpack was softening. north and west aspects stayed firm all morning. it was bluebird and perfect, calm wind.

fyi, there’s still about a 12-18″ base up near ridgelines and it’s all corned up. down low we’re looking at 6-12″ and stuff starting to get pokey, water’s flowing too. still, plenty of turns and snow to play on though.

resorts are fun and doing well, though dropping slopes quickly.

rain/snow here tonight and poss snow again mid-week too. we’ll see.

just an update if you’re wondering.

hey – check the nh forecast re: tucks this coming w/e. it’s snowing here right now in vermont at 1800′.

temps up there will be just below freezing this weekend w/ snow this week and snow showers thru sunday. should be socked in mid-week, poss showing mid-winter conditions again by the w/e w/ avy hazard going up. depends how things play out. there were reports of holes, water and snow bridges already over last couple weeks, especially around little headwall. with any significant new snow, could present some concern if covered up.

watch for wet slide activity and check the advisory online. have fun.

woke up to 3″ new and snow falling steady at mt hunger at 1800′. lull in precip right now but looking at another good shot of snow tonight, forecasting 8-12″ along ridgelines possible by thurs eve in n. greens. winter storm warning in effect for eastern slopes.

call in sick, wax up and hit the bc, stowe, smuggs or jay on thursday. should be good everywhere.

today was great. 10″ new snow was dry and bonded well to old snow surface. can’t believe almost a foot of dry goods in early april. hit it w/ 2 friends, could be one of our last powder days this season.
