in places like interior New England (espeshaly northern Vermont) had an epic period of skiing in early December, however the mid season wasn't great, places like Mad river glen even had to close down for skiing due to lack of snow. However the powder groves of the east like jay peak and mad river have seen over 40 inches in the past week even more if look farther back. Our season has mayd a comeback, for the powder hounds of the east. The junk mid season reminds me of a doughnut hole, i call it a Doughnut season, anyone else experienced this, seems kinda rare considering the forecast for the first half of march still looks good...

While this year the the "doughnut" was a little more pronounced than usual, it happens pretty much every year.

This happens every year, and it also happens in a ton of places.

oh believe me i know haha, my friend works in the rental shop so whenever there are huge storms i have a place to stay it's sick. and i agree at LEAST one more nice one, i'm hoping march/april bring us some decent snow, it would be nice to have spring skiing this year though i think we'll have a decent one with what we have now

Philly has gotten less than 10 inches all season so keep your chin up it could be much worse.

Thanks bud. There's generally enough man made snow to at least have a good time but I see so many people talking about "powder" on the this forum and it's such a foreign concept to me because I never see it.

I just looked at my phone and saw it's March 1st and now I'm freaking the fuck out because I've only got another 2-3 weeks in the Poconos before they shut down the mountains. Fuck.
