Plenty of Snow to Go Around

An excellent school vacation week for skiing, with some sunny days and plenty of fresh snow, ended with a bang as yet another storm delivered on Saturday night. With snow falling heavily at times, and that dreaded mixed precipitation remaining far away from New Hampshire’s ski areas, skiers across the state found at least 2” of new snow awaiting them on the slopes Sunday morning, with most resorts more in the 4-8” range. On top of last Wednesday’s snow this means that packed powder conditions on a 2-5’ base remains the norm in the Granite State, making for fantastic skiing at all of your favorite mountains.

Although temperatures will remain slightly below average this week, there should be some bright sunny days to help things feel a bit warmer. The active weather pattern will continue over the next week, with a couple more storms on the horizon continuing to add on to our already impressive snowpack.
