Snow Update
Thought I would give you an accounting of the storm of yesterday. At my house, from 3AM Sunday until late Sunday evening we received about 23 inches. The wind blew very hard during the night last night so the total may be more but I shoveled one area at 8AM Sunday and that area had 20" in the path this morning.
Skiing is killer and you need to be here if you want to enjoy. Everything is open, all lifts and trails are in mid season condition and the snowbanks in the village are higher than any time I can remember in the last decade except for last Valentine's Day.
Hope you ahve the opportunity to enjoy Stowe this holiday season and if so please stop in the office and say hello.

Snow Update
Wow!!, Skiied this morning but got there late, about 945AM and thought most of the good stuff would be skiied off BUT was I wrong. It was one of the best days in years, and it started snowing about noon time.
All trails & lifts on the mountain will be opened tomorrow and for the rest of the year we assume with the exception of the Sensation Qud which will open sometime during this up coming mid week in time for next weekend. That means everything will be open for the holidays, something that has been unusual in recent years.
Projection is more snow for parts of 4 of the upcoming seven days but no large dump. That's great and with the temperatures which have been below 30 degrees for most of thed month the company has been making snow non-stop to set up the base for the real stuff.
Will try to update again on Monday. In the meantime if you need a rental for Xmas you better hurry, very limited supply left. Check out www.StoweRealtyRentals.com and you may find something that will fit you needs. If not call Kim Rushford in the office at 802-253-8484 and she will try very hard to assist you.
If you are not going to be in Stowe for the holidays I hope you enjoy the season anyhow. If you are in town stop by and say hello

Snow Update
Below is an update from the ski area which arrived on my desk about 3PM, Monday.
It's been snowing steadily & heavily at Stowe all day. The storm is projected to last into early Tuesday morning with "significant" accumulations--well over a foot, possibly closer to two feet. What a start to the season! We opened several trails today, and probably a bunch more on Tuesday. You definitely want to be here at Stowe for this first major winter storm of the season! (Want us to write you an excuse slip?) We have 3 rails set up on Ridgeview.

SNOW!!!!!!!
Want to go skiing. Stowe is the place to be. It started snowing about 1AM, Tuesday and by 8AM we had 8 inches at my house which is the same elevation as the parking lots at the ski area. About the same time we had 5 inches in the village at my office, Stowe Realty.
It is predicted that it will snow through Wednesday and total snow fall will be about 14-18 inches which could mean 24-30 on the mountain.
I will post a new photo this afternoon on the front page of our rental web site at www.StoweRealtyRentals.com. If you haven't made reservations for the Xmas holidays yet you should do so soon. We have had about 35 houses rented within the past two weeks and only have a few more options for the holiday. We have talked with a number of Condo complexes this morning and most of them are fully booked.
By the way, the new snowfall is on top of an already much higher than average snowfall for November and skiing has been great since before Thanksgiving.
