Planning a trip to Killington for Saturday looks like they may get 4-8 Fri into Sat. Anyone have first hand account or at a nearby mountain know what conditions are realistically like? Thanks

in Ottawa we got 49 cm (almost 20 inches) of snow yesterday. Great light snow too. Set a record for largest snowfall in a day for Ottawa in recorded history. Night skiing last night was fantastic.

Gore and Whiteface both got about 4 inches of snow, quarter inch of ice, then about an inch of rain. Whats left of the snow is practically cement.

I'm at Jay rn. Rained almost all day yesterday, tons of wind. Branches all over the place and most of the snow melted. Today it's below freezing, so all the rain turned into ice. There's a lot of people because it's vacation, but conditions suck. If it snows 8 inches, it'll be great. If it doesn't, it'll be terrible.

Le Massif got about 10 cm then a ton of rain. I imagine St Anne and Stoneham would be similar. If you have a choice then furthest I'd go from Ottawa is Tremblant. We really did luck out on this storm and got far more than anywhere else.

If I can ski on snow then I am not complaining. I just got some new Liberty's that I am hyped as fuck to try out and honestly I just love skiing I have given up on hoping for conditions that we want because its still skiing and I still love this shit. Back when the mountains weren't open is a different story but jesus fuck I hate how NS has tons of threads about waiting for snow and when the mountains open, then they open and there are more threads bitching about the shitty conditions. Be content that you can ski man I have friends that had to move with family out of skiing areas and they are suffering down south where they dont even see cold weather. Just be happy that its still winter and we can slide down mountains

In my area of NH it was down pouring for a while, we got like 2 inches of snow then it went to shit. Its so damn annoying since it was in the negatives last week and it never snowed until the warm weather came back. Luckily this weekend is gonna be warm so I dont ski on ice and then next week is packed with a few days of snow, perfect Feb vacation weather.

up here in maine it rained for a good chunk of the day, but both sunday river and the loaf still made a net gain of like an inch of snow.

I was at the loaf yesterday morning and it was pretty fuckin windy, had my skis literally ripped out of my hands at one point. Sunday river recovered from the freeze overnight pretty nicely today, a couple more days of grooming and everything should be skiing like normal

Southwest PA. Warmed up a little last week, luckily we dodged the rain. Afterward it cooled down a lot. Everything was iced over completely until like Sunday when we started to get some snow. We got a good amount last night. But it's supposed to be 40s and raining the next few days.

I thought I was a legit post because they did get rain haha, but snow definitely followed. Classic east coast

It will probably be crusty but I bet you can find some drifts around the part of the mountain near JFK.
