Bolton Valley, VT 30NOV2025

Light snow falls in the Bolton Valley Village in the fading afternoon light as Ty and I finish up our ski tour today. It was Winter Storm Bellamy that hit parts of the Midwest fairly hard yesterday to become TWC’s second named storm of the season, and then the system continued its eastward trek and started to affect our area by early this morning. Throughout the day it brought light snow to the…

Snow guns blast away on the Bear Run route as Bolton Valley prepares some of its beginner terrain for upcoming days As of this morning, the resorts of the Northern Greens from Jay Peak down through Stowe were reporting roughly a foot of new snow with the assistance of moisture coming off the Great Lakes, but south of that area, snow totals fell off rather quickly. Checking Bolton’s snow report,…

Bolton Valley, VT 24NOV2025

We’ve had a number of winter storms so far this November, and many evergreens in the higher elevations are already holding onto heavy accumulations of snow. The clipper system that came through the area over the past couple of days was relatively weak, but in general agreement with the forecast, we still picked up close to 2 inches of new snow at our site down in the Winooski Valley. I was up in…

Bolton Valley, VT 22NOV2025

Checking out the new fingerpost and taking in the views today in the Bolton Valley Village I was last out on the mountain for turns on Thursday, and the powder from our early week storm was holding up well. There had certainly been some consolidation of the snowpack, with sunny areas seeing the effects more than shaded areas, but the general consistency of the snow was dry, and there was no melt…

Bolton Valley, VT 20NOV2025

Icicles hang off the Timberline Base lodge with some ski terrain visible in the background. While the lower elevations snowpack has consolidated some since our recent storm, the snow is still dry and the powder skiing is still quite good. By midweek, our protracted period of snowfall was winding down here in the Northern Greens, and we finally began to get some views of the peaks. When the clouds…

Bolton Valley, VT 17NOV2025

An image of the snowy scene at Timberline this morning – with 1 to 2 feet of additional 6% H2O powder falling atop the existing base, the ski conditions are the best they’ve been all season. It was a fairly busy day for me today, but I was able to swing by Bolton for a quick tour to check out the snow from the back side of our most recent storm. I was going to head up to the main base, which has…

Stowe, VT 15NOV2025

E and I got our for a ski tour at Stowe today. The weather was great, and with the Mt. Mansfield snowpack at nearly 30 inches and the base topped off with powder from multiple November storms, the skiing was superb as well! In the New England Subforum at American Weather, Powderfreak has done a fantastic job of keeping everyone apprised of the snow conditions at Stowe, so for today’s ski tour, E…

Bolton Valley, VT 13NOV2025

Our current winter storm has already unloaded over a foot of snow in the mountains, and it looks like this storm cycle will continue on through the end of the week. Our current winter storm began affecting the area yesterday, and it’s been hitting us with a decent stream of moisture in the form of snow and some rain/snow in the lower elevations. We picked up less than an inch of additional snow…

Bolton Valley, VT 11NOV2025

A view from the bottom of the Bolton Valley Access Road this morning – our most recent November snowstorm was somewhat notable in that it brought substantial snow accumulations all the way down into the Champlain Valley. I had time for a quick ski tour up at Bolton today, so I can pass along a bit of beta with regard to this latest storm and conditions. I’d seen that with the warm front end of…

Bolton Valley, VT 06NOV2025

Our most recent winter storm dropped notably drier powder on top of the existing base of snowpack, so it made for great turns and the best powder skiing of the season so far! The clipper system affecting the area yesterday into today dropped another round of snow in the mountains and we even saw snow transiently accumulating in some of the lower valleys. This system was similar to the last one…

Bolton Valley, VT 01NOV2025

In sheltered areas at Bolton Valley today, there was close to a foot of snow accumulation near the 3,000′ level as Vermont got hit with its first substantial winter storm of the 2025-2026 ski season. The Vermont ski season is definitely underway! As forecast, the snow levels with this most recent storm began to drop yesterday evening, and the higher elevations picked up some decent snow…

First Vermont Snows for the 2025-2026 Winter Season!

The first touches of snow recorded at the Mt. Mansfield stake for the 2025-2026 season It’s been a reasonably warm fall season with many beautifully dry days featuring blue skies to enjoy the foliage, but the change in seasons is becoming evident now as we approach the end of October and move into a much wetter pattern. It’s interesting to note that over in New Hampshire, Mt. Washington had…

Bolton Valley, VT 03FEB2025

Snow just continues to fall, drift, settle, accumulate and get everywhere in the Bolton Valley Village as we head into February. I headed up for some touring at Bolton Valley this morning to check out the overnight snows, and after being somewhat unimpressed with the way the powder skied on Saturday after those fresh accumulations, I was eager to see how this event affected the skiing. I’m happy…

Bolton Valley, VT 02FEB2025

We’ve had a lot of snow in the past several days, and venturing off piste at Bolton Valley was yielding a couple feet of powder for turns. Today I was out for some lift-served skiing at Bolton Valley, and after touring for the last several ski sessions, it was actually the first time being back on the lifts since January 19th. Yesterday I decided to tour because of the temperatures, but today’s…

Bolton Valley Nordic & Backcountry, VT 01FEB2025

A view of the snow stacked atop the outhouse near the Buchanan Shelter The weak area of low pressure that passed through the area last night brought 5 to 7 inches of snow accumulation to Bolton Valley as of their morning report. That was definitely enough to make it worth checking out some lift-served, on piste skiing. Unfortunately, high temperatures were expected to be in the single digits F,…

Bolton Valley Nordic & Backcountry, VT 26JAN2025

The snow continues to pile up and the evergreens continue to become buried in the Bolton Valley Backcountry. A cold front moved through the area in the late morning period today, and whiteout conditions were encountered in numerous spots. With snow returning over the past couple of days, Bolton Valley was reporting an additional 2 to 3 inches in their 24-hour total, and my liquid analyses from…

Bolton Valley Nordic & Backcountry, VT 25JAN2025

We haven’t had much new snowfall in the past couple of days, so the powder is settling on objects throughout the Bolton Valley backcountry in a variety of fun ways. The pace of snowfall has slowed down a bit over the past few days here in the Northern Greens, so heading into the backcountry seemed like today’s call for good access to untracked powder. It was a sunny midwinter day, so my wife and…
