May seem unbelievable to some, but should power and phone be restored to Wildcat Thursday, they are going to ATTEMPT to open for the weekend. As in RUN LIFTS.
There is an unimaginable amount of snow up there for October, this afternoon there were folks skiing Black Cat, Starr Line, all of the old Gondi Line---- stuff that often doesn't open until late December/January because it takes natural cover in quantity.
If you plan to earn your turns, think snowshoes/skins, or you'll just be postholing yourself to exhaustion. Nothing is groomed ( yet LOLOL) so rock skiis would be the rule of the day..
Can't speak to the snow quality up top, but it is definitely heavy at base.
Glades---- don't know for sure, but looking at the tree damage up 16, count on lots of same in the woods.
It is truly stunning and "other worldly" up there.
From Conway, you won't see a flake on the ground until Dana Place. The Jackson golf course is green as green can be, flags still out. Just above Dana Place, accumulation increases exponentially... by Deadmans Curve the plow wave is over the guardrails.
Plowing the parking lot at WC today was the province of bulldozer and bucket loader, the snowpiles so high you could hardly see into the lot from 16.
From Gorham NH, nothing up top will be a surprise as all of Gorham is white, too. The snowline on Rt 2 becomes apparant at the Shelburne/Gorham town line. Berlin and Randolph were clocking 14-16+ inches.
Driving the notch today for errands and chores.. I was totally blown away. I would not have believed it if I hadn't seen it. I'm on the West Bethel/ Gilead/ ME line and we don't have flake one.
