So get out your powder skis, because we're going to leave a lot of terrain wide open for your powderhounds! No night skiing Wednesday, but Thursday and Friday are going to be EPIC!
From New Hampshire:
- Crotched Mountain—IT'S SNOWING!!!! Well, duh. Big storm outside. Lots of snow accumulating. We're expecting somewhere around 18" total from this storm. AND... it's not just a powder "day" here at Crotched, because the slopes are open until 9pm. So make it a POWDER NIGHT too!

From Vermont:
- Valentine’s Day Storm Drops 14 Inches at Killington Resort; Snow Still Coming Down. The biggest storm to hit Vermont in more than two years has already dropped 14 inches on new snow at Killington Resort with heavy snow still falling throughout the afternoon. Forecasters are calling for up to three feet of new snow by Thursday afternoon, the most the region has seen since Feb. 10, 2005 when 16 inches fell.
- Bromley UPDATE—6"-8" Already, and This is Just the Beginning! The snow storm continues with 8" on the ground and the forecast is calling for 18 to 21" more to come before this storm is finished. Temperatures remain on the cold side with highs in the lower teens today. This has kept the snowfall to a perfect "champagne" powder. Snow totals are increasing and more trails are opening by the minute.
