Snowing at Sugarbush!

This was some day of skiing. My legs are very beat. But let me back up a bit -

Last week Sugarbush was almost 100% open. Today it was about half open. The morning was a different day than the afternoon. Once there was a couple of new inches on the hard stuff it skied like buttah on the groomed. Paradise and Ripcord's bumps were very literally solid and they just hurt to ski. But as the afternoon progressed they were getting sweeter and sweeter as the troughs filled with new snow, especially on the edges of Ripcord. I can't wait to see what this place is going to feel like tomorrow! The lifties were smiling big grins and saying, "Just wait until tomorrow."

Snow is falling hard. At the Weathertop Inn we are at right now there is a 4WD vehicle that can't make it up the driveway!

And here is a 9:30 PM post from "win" at Alpinezone.com:

Just got home from the mountain, and it is snowing heavily. Our forecast guru who is usually conservative predicted 7-11" tonight, and I would be surprised if we do not get 18" by this weekend. We are likely to have 100% of Lincoln Peak Open by tomorrow or Friday and that means The Rock. Right now (9:30pm) on Wednesday it is 31 Degrees at the base and 22 degrees at the summit so the snow is drier and lighter up top. It is going to bond really well with the snow that was already there. The next several days are going to be great skiing. We are going to be three for three on Holiday storms - Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's and now Easter weekend.
