Northern New England>Winter Returns

[MaineSkiLady]

Just a heads up to the easterners: winter is BACK, and it is snowing outside my window as I type.
Best snow and temps of March thus far, and the longer-range forecast is VERY promising. Could be a banner April! (Hoping it's similar to '07, when we got 95" in first half of the month.) Whatever it is, sure is looking good and skiing well now. Almost 900 acres open at Sugarloaf, including ALL glades (which had been rained on then frozen earlier in the month). First tracks yesterday. Snowing again. Come get it. No face coverings required anymore: moderate temps. LOVE IT.

Wish I could get up there!!! Enjoy it!

Heading to Stowe this weekend! I can't wait!
So happy that winter has made a return appearance.

Skied Windham today! Fantastic powder!

Mad River Glen tomorrow. Jay Saturday.

Alpinezone summit is actually this weekend at Sugarloaf. Seriously tempted. But the thought of driving 8 hrs back after 2 days of skiing was very unappertizing... especially given I had to be up early Monday, and be fresh as a daisy: first day on a new job. So, no racoon eyes and nodding off at the desk.

I was at Wildcat on St. Pattys Day,
Cannon today, where it SNOWED all day!!!

What timing this year! 10-13" new, 909 acres open today, MINIMAL grooming > good for them! Some of the best conditions of the season. Great forecast, also.

Hey, good luck with your new endeavor on Monday!

Broke this weekend, so going to PA, but next weekend, I'm heading North!

the conditions at Gunstock yesterday were some of the best of the season. I'll be heading back shortly and hope to be able to stay for longer than I did yesterday.

I'm hoping to get in another trip to Sunday River or maybe Okemo this time, before either closes.

Isn't this Great! Okemo is also Mid Winter conditions, get it while we can! Next week looks to be the best spring skiing temps, sun & awesome snow of the winter! Ski Ski Ski!

Loon was in amazing shape yesterday! Finally ventured to South Peak - what was I waiting for??!!

SwampDog, so happy to hear about Gunstock. Heading up there this afternoon. We were last there early in the season, so only half the trails were open. Sounds like we are in for a treat today!

Heading to Bretton Woods tomorrow. Must be in great shape up there, too, I would imagine.

I hope you're on your way up, the conditions are amazing! It's a bit windy out there today but the sunshine more than makes up for it.

Next time you come up we'll have to do a few runs together

Oooh, SwampDog, I will let you know! I am probably not going to be up there again this season (got the next few weekends planned, but I won't rule out a mid-week expedition), but planning to do a season pass there next year. Great deal compared to everywhere else we were considering.

Conditions were great today - you were right! The wind was a bit much at times, so I didn't even go to the top. Kept getting dragged to the park by the 6 year old anyway, so just skied off of Ramrod, Tiger and Pistol lifts. Would love to do a couple runs with you!
