Accumulating snow today on Mt. Mansfied

October 22, 2011: The fabled stake atop Mt. Mansfield, picking up the first accumulating snow for Vermont's Green Mountains this season

I was reading the Northern New England Thread on the New England Regional Forum at American Weather, and just got the word that Mt. Mansfield received its first accumulating snow of the season.  Thanks to Powderfreak for passing along the message, and including a picture of the snow at the Mt. Mansfield Stake, which I’ve included here.  As far as I’m aware, this is the first accumulating snow in the Green Mountains of Vermont this season due to the fairly warm October.  It does look like the weather is going to cool down this coming week, so there will likely be more chances for snow in the high country.  We’ll keep our eyes on the mountains, weather forecasts, and weather boards to see if any of the white stuff shows up in the near future, but as we approach November, the season of snow and skiing is certainly close at hand.

  1. My first October ski day ever was one to remember. Plattekill’s ownership is very cool (and running on a shoestring) so it was really nice for them to get the exposure as the first hill to spin lifts in New York.

    Saw and enjoyed your Pico report. Would really like to ski that hill. BTW the site is looking GREAT. Nice work.
