Stowe picked up 1-2" of snow overnight on top of the 1-2" from yesterday, bringing the storm total to 11-18" since Thursday afternoon. It is breezy on the mountain this morning and although winds are forecast to die down today they may effect lift operations early this morning-- we'll keep the report updated of any operational changes as soon as we know any details. We made snow overnight on Lower Standard (half-pipe), Tyro (large terrain park) & Main Street. The grooming fleet smoothed out 46 trails last night, plus two terrain parks & a rail garden with a total of 20 features. Please Note-- Tyro will be closed so our park groomers can begin to build the Large Terrain Park (opening soon). The Sterling and Whirlaway trails are open for advanced skiers/riders only. Today's "Share the Slope" message: Always use devices to prevent runaway equipment. Coming Events: Friday Night there will be a Torchlight Parade and Fireworks display at Spruce Peak. Then on Saturday, we ! will have the charity fundraiser FCS Race for Kids.
The above is from the mountain posting this morning. I skiied and can tell you that it was windy but the sun was bright, skiing was great and improving. With the holidays finished we can enjoy the mountain again with no crowds for a few weeks. Stowe Realty had 68 properties rented for the Christmas Holiday period and we are cleaning lots of homes this morning.
Burlington had the highest total ever recorded in one snow storm within the past two days, 32.6" but the airport never stopped operating and the roads were open.
Come and enjoy what promises to be a fantastic January skiing program and watch for the information on the Stowe Winter Carnival coming up the last week of January.
