Back on Top

February was quite a roller-coaster of a month, swinging from five stars to two stars and back again. Fortunately, it's ending on a good note. Yesterday's snow storm brought up to a foot and a half of snow to the north country and conditions are now excellent with more snow predicted for Friday night.

T.S. Elliot must have been a skier when he wrote "April is the cruelest month," because March is on average the snowiest month only to see all that delicious white stuff get washed away with the spring rains. Don't put your skis away yet, there is likely to be another month of excellent snow conditions yet to come.

Snow depths are now ten inches above the historical peak for the entire season and we've still got another three weeks before typically hitting maximum snow depths. Let's see how deep we can go. On Mt. Mansfield we're already at 85 inches of snow pack. Can anyone say 100.

The Snow Detective is headed up for some turns on Saturday, so check back here Saturday night for a fresh perspective and maybe even some nice photographs.
