I flew back to New England on Wednesday night from a business trip early in the week. I was expecting to fly right into snow and be excited for the weekend, but I was in for a shock. It was raining. I decided that was not too bad because I was hearing about this big storm that was going to hit on Thursday night into Friday. Once again, instead of snow it was rain and a very powerful wind storm.
After clearing the debris from the storm and heading to work on Friday I received a picture message on my phone from a friend that was at Waterville. I could not believe what I was seeing. Waterville got all snow while everyone else was underwater.
On my drive up I was thinking there is no way WV got that much snow based on what I was seeing. That changed as soon as I started driving up the access road. They did get that much snow plus some. More snow fell overnight and it was snowing on and off all through the day. I was at the mountain early today to get some early runs and take advantage of the new snow. The trails were great and the trees were even better. I was skiing with some friends and we were so excited about the new snow and the conditions that we skied hard all morning. We were skiing all the lifts and trails we could including first chair on high country once it opened. Skiers left up there was great.
So for all of New England that received rain, I need to let you know that Waterville did not. My suggestion is for you to take a trip to the mountain. If you are like me you don’t have power anyway so I can not think of anything better to do. Hope to see you on the mountain tomorrow.
