Skied up at Mt Snow. I was originally coming home after skiing on Tuesday, but I didn’t want to battle the storm. All told, we got 46” in 36 hours.
a lot of lifts were on wind hold, so there were a couple of long lift lines. This is the most snow I’ve ever seen in Vermont, in that short of time. getting back to the rental house after skiing on Tuesday was ridiculous. the house was 2 miles from the base, we saw at least 5 accidents and too many cars to count stuck in snow banks. It really was insane.
on the mountain, I’ve never seen some many people just eat it and get buried and stuck. There was so much carnage. one guy said, “man, I can ski ice, but this powder is impossible“.
it was so deep, that if it wasn’t a pretty good pitch, you had to stay in somebody’s track. It was just crazy, you always hope for the big one, but in reality, a 16-20” storm is probably the sweet spot.
