Vermont Avalanche warning? 3 to 4 feet of snow
Thursday, February 15th, 2007After a pretty dismal showing of snow (or lack thereof). The East is getting hit with possibly one of the biggest storms of the year. Detune those edges for some urban rail riding or get up to the hills for some sweet powder slashes. Stowe has actually announced an Avalanche warning for backcountry riding.
ATTENTION, PLEASE! AVALANCHE WARNING! Stowe Mountain Rescue has issued an advisory that anybody considering travel in the backcountry should be alert to extemely high avalanche danger, due to the recent heavy snowfall. With continued cold temperatures forecasted, it is expected that these conditions will continue through the weekend into next week.

16 inches already and the it’s falling heavier now than it has been all day. Heavy snow warnings are now blizzard warnings for now through Friday. Some calling for more than 3 feet of snow¦
New Snow: over a foot in the past 12 hours and much more on the way.
Comments: 100% of our trails are open!! Major Snowstorm is here - 21 to 33 inches by Friday!
Stowe received a surprise storm last week that turned a predicted couple inches into 13-16³+ inches, with even more snow falling through the weekend! And now significant accumulations are being called for in the middle of this week! We hope that you can come up to Vermont’s highest peak to experience The East’s best conditions with us soon!
This is a snow reporter’s dream. IT’S DUMPING - there are 18 on the ground at the summit so far and no end is in sight. Forecasts are calling for HEAVY SNOW this evening and tonight. We’re expecting at least another 15³ by morning. In the end we’re looking at around 3 feet of fresh powder. I’ve been all over the mountain and conditions everywhere are EPIC!
WEDNESDAY: THIS IS THE BIG ONE! Already 14³ of snow at 1:00 this afternoon!!!Weather forecasters are predicting up to THREE FEET of snow!!! Check for updates¦ snow reports and trail updates will happen as we move through the day, as heavy snow (yipppeeeeeeeee!) may affect operations.
Resort News: POWDER DAY!
**2:00 p.m. UPDATE** 18³ Already and its still dumping!!!
Nothing says lovin’ like a whole lottla Valentine PowPow! The biggest storm of the season with one to two feet of SNOW forecasted to fall is here through Thursday!
At 2:30pm it is still snowing heavily up here at the mountain. Currently it is snowing at a rate of 4 to 6 inches per hour. It is quickly piling up and so far we have received about 12 inches. Why not call a Stratton Snow Day! It has snowed all day and this morning we had some of the finest powder this side of the Rockies.
Happy Valentine’s Day, skiers and riders! Well, if you were at the mountain today, you would know that it was epic. The first true powder day of the year!! The snow just keeps on coming, and forecasters are predicting a storm total of over 24 by tomorrow!! Today we received 8-12 inches at the base, and 12-14 inches at the summit.
Getting dumped on Valentine’s Day is generally a bad thing. But this storm dumped us hard and we couldn’t be more thrilled. It certainly helps to have 12 inches of fresh powder to break your fall! I’ve never seen Heath, our ski patrol manager, smile so wide as when he described the thigh-high powder run he took through The Trials, one of our glades on the North Face that opened today.
