Sunshine sets us up with some good natural lighting as Ty starts into a powdery line in the Wilderness Woods during today’s outing at Bolton Valley. Today I headed up to Bolton Valley for a bit of afternoon lift-served skiing with E and Ty ahead of the cold temperatures that are expected to be around into the midweek period. The resort has finally shifted their attention to making snow in the…

Gilpin Mountain/Domey's Dome, VT 18JAN2025
Dylan was back on his Telemark skis gliding through the powder today. We had a great ski tour today in the Gilpin Mountain/Domey’s Dome area of the Jay Peak backcountry with great snow and many acres of nicely spaced tree skiing. A couple weeks back there was some great discussion in the Northern New England thread at the American Weather Forums about the Jay Peak backcountry conditions in areas…

Ty cruising down the contours of a fun line in the Snow Hole/Branches area during today’s powder skiing session at Bolton Valley The weather and ski conditions yesterday were excellent, but today kicked that up yet another notch. Today’s temperatures were well up into the 20s F with brilliant winter sunshine and no wind. And after our spell of cold, snowy weather, you could really feel the…

Bolton Valley has finally fired up snowmaking at the base of the Timberline area, so Timberline’s slopes will likely be opening to lift-served skier traffic soon. Our recent long-duration system finished up on Friday, and the next winter system moved into the area today, so Mother Nature continues to deliver snow and enhance the conditions on the slopes. E and I headed up to Bolton Valley this…

Areas protected from the wind continue to offer great powder turns as our second long-duration winter storm this month dops more snow in the local mountains. I had time to head up to Bolton Valley for another ski tour this morning, and the weather was very much like what we’d had in the mountains for the past few days: temperatures in the single digits F with a lot of wind. Thankfully, yesterday…

Peering down Vermont 200 this morning, it was clear that its protection from the winds was allowing some nice snow accumulations to settle in for some great soft conditions. I’d hoped to head up to the mountain for some turns yesterday afternoon to see how accumulations were settling in from our current system, but it was a bit close to sunset after I finished the work I wanted to get done. I…

Bolton Valley Nordic & Backcountry, VT 05JAN2025
Ty diving through the powder on today’s tour as we descend in Bolton’s Snow Hole area Based on the quality of yesterday’s skiing, I was leaning heavily toward heading out for another tour today. The backcountry conditions around Bolton are already quite good, and they were reporting another 2 to 4 inches of new snow this morning, so that was a nice bonus. Temperatures were expected to be about…

Bolton Valley Nordic & Backcountry, VT 04JAN2025
The powder is great and the backcountry ski traffic has generally been light – as I passed by, I saw just one old set of tracks in the Cup Runneth Over area. Our current storm cycle started up back on Wednesday, with low pressure deepening as it passed over southeast New England and up into Maine. It then headed on up into eastern Quebec, stalled there for a bit, and finally moved to northwest to…

Snowdrifts were certainly on the menu during today’s ski tour. Howling winds from the upslope portion of our current storm cycle have pounded the Northern Greens and whipped up the snow into formations 5 to 6-feet deep as my buried ski pole can attest. Our anticipated long-duration storm system began in the area yesterday with some light snow accumulations for the mountains and valleys, but…

A view of the Village Circle area at Bolton Valley today as temperature begin to edge above the freezing mark and the snow settles With warming temperatures in the forecast today, I figured the slopes would be softening up, so it felt like a good day for some lift-served skiing. Temperatures were still well below freezing this morning though, so I was unsure how quickly surfaces would soften, and…

E joined me for today’s ski tour in that excellent Timberline powder. I’ve been telling E about the fantastic powder conditions I’ve been finding on my outings up at Bolton Valley, so today she joined me for a ski tour. I returned to Timberline and brought her on the same tour that I did yesterday, and the powder continued to be just as fantastic as it’s been the past several days. She was…

Late day sun lights up some ski tracks in the absolutely stupendous powder currently covering the slopes of Bolton Valley’s Timberline area. High-quality powder snow is generally ephemeral; it’s best skied when it’s fresh because it loses loft as it settles, and the bubby “champagne” effect is reduced. I say “generally” because there are times when powder can improve over time. We’re in one of…

Erica on Sprig O’ Pine as we enjoy some of Bolton’s great Christmas Eve ski conditions thanks to 8 inches of snow from our most recent Alberta Clipper system As of their early morning snow report, Bolton Valley had received 8 inches of accumulation from the clipper that began affecting the area yesterday evening, so I headed up for some morning turns with my wife and our younger son. We’re not…

Powder lingers in the trees as cold conditions have preserved the snows from recent storms in the Northern Greens. The turns yesterday at Timberline were quite good, so I headed back up to Bolton Valley again today for more ski touring. Compared to yesterday, temperatures were about 10 degrees warmer today when I arrived at the Timberline Base. Even though it was cloudy all afternoon ahead of our…

Some of the accumulations from our recent storms near the Timberline base The forecast for today called for even colder temperatures than yesterday, but more snow from the back side of our recent clipper system continued to fall even into last night as the cold temperatures allowed Lake Champlain to contribute moisture for lake-effect snow into the mountains. Thanks to the moisture boost from the…

A view from near the Bolton Valley Snowflake Lift summit station amidst today’s snowfall It was a cold one out there today; indeed, it was really a good day to just enjoy lots of indoor activities. But we did just have another storm push through the region, and the conditions on the slopes are good and keep getting better, so I still wanted to get out to see what the new snow was like and get…
