That Northern Spine photo is gorgeous!! Excellent shot!!
Wow, compare what Stowe has had to Tahoe where they still can't open the full mountain at Squaw. Fugly!!
The thing is stowe gets tons of under the radar 2-5 inch snows. We get that many days in a row and soon we have powder skiing somewhere you just have to find it. I honestly have 10 days now of skiing what was 'bottomless" powder. Our sidecountry is not like western sidecountry in the way it nearly impossible to route find if you do not have photographic or editic memory(yes in my mind that does exist especially for people with aspergers). Its quite freaquently 35 degree plus with the possibility of moving snow. Also there are many cliff bands and gullies that are terrain traps and keep alot of people out of alot of places for a real fear of becoming stuck in the woods overnight or worse.
We do not need storms for there to be good skiiing, we just need snow with out freeze thaw cycles. In fact quite often a bunch of little snows make for better skiing than big storms that bring out the crowds.
If anyone ever wants shown around just give me a heads up, my days off are thursday and friday. But I quite frequently ski beyond bell to bell while hiking for turns if you up for that sort of thing. Also if it been snowing recently bring skis that will float and turn quick because I can find untracked for people nearly all day long assuming it has snowed recently. It just tend to be in super tight spots.
