Nukin’ all day Saturday. Bluebird, cold smoke on Sunday! Deep all weekend! The snow stake is up to 81″ with more on the way this week. Here we go!!
The video above pretty much sums it up. Apologies for the POV edit, but during a snow bomb like this, its awfully hard to find friends!
Stowe, along with most of the east coast mountains, got absolutely hammered this weekend. Powder starved rippers gobbled up the 30+ inches of snow with a vengeance.
The storm kicked into gear Friday afternoon, quickly dropping an inch or two before the lifts closed for the day. Then, as darkness fell, the storm increased its intensity leaving the mountain covered with 12 – 18″ of new snow by opening bell on Saturday morning.
Troller Tracks on North Slope
Saturday morning, numerous early birds started laying down skin tracks well before daybreak.
Setting the Skin Track Pre Sunrise
Countless others scrambled up the dicey mountain road to get in line for the earliest lift opening of any ski area in the country. Wind gusts in excess of 50 mph kept the quad on hold to start, but mountain ops quickly scrambled and started loading the triple by 7:15. Two laps later, Lookout Double and the Gondi opened. Eventually the new quad fired up to let powder hungry skiers get after everything on the hill.
Powder Hungry Skiers Chomping at the Bit!!
Stowe skiers made the most of it, ticking off lines from Hellbrook to Hourglass and back. Urgency quickly gave way to the realization that it was downright nukin’ and countless refills were being served up from opening bell to close.
Sunday could go down as one of the best days ever! Bottomless, blower pow with endless sun and blue skies to top it all off…
Blower and Bluebird
I was there, both days. It’s true. It was all time.
forget stowe.
forget stowe. Jay had 50+.
Jay was epic, I was there Friday to Sunday.
not a willywhacker in sight! nice skiing lets hope for some more fluff wed/thurs….
I guess that’s cool. But, it’s still Stowe
Hater douche. If you can ski the east you can ski anything anywhere. Def Top 10 day.
Amazaballs! Bolton was on windhold in the am, can’t wait to get some tomorrow @ Stowe. Pls don’t be tracked out or I’ll be pissed.
30 inches my BALLS. Try 12 inches windblown tops.
On another note, I caught a 4 ft Perch last summer in a pond near my house…I swear.
who writes this shit? Bottomless pow and blue skies. Obviously this twerp doesn’t know the meaning of bottomless. Nukin, cold smoke? These lame trendy sayings are reserved for shredders who know what the fuck their talking aboot. Save the sales pitch. Here I got one for ya:
“For a mere $90 this weekend @ Stowe, 50 mph winds, below zero windchill and endless lift lines! Get your stoke on here! And if the 12 inches of Champlain Champagne weren’t enough, you get front row seats to the rich married couples fight about their kids and the cold temperatures. Now that’s entertainment. When your tired of ripping lines and dodging 4 year olds with every single perfect powder turn, retire in the lodge for a ice cold $9 lager by our warm fire crowded with all the people you just tried to get away from. Stowe, the way life should be.”
Blows needs to get blown and maybe some of that hate will get released.
I’ll tell you who writes this….Chris Brown, and he’s one of the nicest guys you would ever meet. But alas, you’ll never get the chance because the karma gods keep shit heads like you away from salt of the earth, shirt off his back kind of guys like him. Your loss.
