ADK: Bennies Brook Trip Report

The party is slowly winding down here in the Northeast, and it’s getting to be about last call time for some backcountry spots. So order that shot, drink up, pay up. This is not to say that one more late season storm (ie the weather pattern that blessed us for the better part of January and February) can’t happen and we’re all pulling for it to. But the pow conveyor belt that briefly turned Vermont/New England into the best place to ski in North America for a few weeks last month appears to have shut down with no word on its reopening. So, as we transition to spring skiing and scrape the scraps, there’s still time to get out and check a […]

Fenway Park Buried in 3 Feet of Snow

With just two months until opening day, the Red Sox better pray for warm weather. Fenway Park is buried under 3 to 4 feet of snow, following Boston’s snowiest 30-day period in history. While the Red Sox head down to Fort Myers for spring training, Boston will be digging out after another storm on Saturday and Sunday. Huge amounts of snow have made for rare avalanche conditions in snow piles on the streets of Boston. Bean Town has seen almost 72 inches in the span of 18 days, making it the ninth snowiest winter in the city’s history.

VT Backcountry Report: East Coast Powder

The past month has been fantastic in New England, as storm after storm after lake effect snow after up slope pow event has blanketed the region. Here in Vermont we have received more than 80 inches since the beginning of January, and it’s been cold nearly every day. For those scoring at home, that’s more than six feet. As I type this it’s snowing again, with a foot or more forecast for the Green Mountains between now and Tuesday. This should get us close to 100 inches in the space of more or less a month (!). A few days ago somebody commented that we almost have more snow than spots in Utah. Not sure if that’s […]
