TR: Stowe Boxing Day Powder Day

Well, Stowe was on the receiving end of a very fortunate micro-climate, and got about 10 or 11 inches of fresh snow during Christmas Day, through to Boxing Day (the 26th). Since most of the vacationers from down south (read: down there where you all are) were still in transit today, the slopes were relatively uncrowded. there was some nice pow early in the day, and as it got tracked out, there was still some good stuff to be had, if one knew where to look, and was willing to take some risks to get it.

On the way up the quad... it finally looks like winter!

Hello snow... I've missed you!

Looking down Gondolier... they hadn't groomed out the snowmaking whales yet. Made for some fun features, and scared away the gapers.

It stopped snowing about 11, and the sun started to peek out at around noon.. looking up the Gondola line

Looking up at the Front Four in the sunlight. Good way to end the day.

nice to see some snow on the east. ill be there next friday. hopefully we'll see some more terrain by then and they open northslope so they can start on tyro. sbush got a few inches as well.

 

They haven't even started making snow on that part of north slope, and tyro is a distant thought. They're focusing on nosedive and main street over on spruce. Then maybe they'll hit up the toll house area, if I had to guess.
