Conditions at Balsams/Dixville Notch, NH?
The Balsams is reporting an 8-18 inch base with 52 KM groomed. Has anyone
visited there recently that can confirm the conditions? It seems too good to be true given the almost complete lack of snow everywhere else in New Hampshire. It's a long drive from southeast NH, but if it is as good as advertised, we'll make the trip. I would think that its not looking good for my favorite event, the Great Glen - Bretton Woods 50K, unless there is a massive snow dump in the next ten days. |

Great Glen is virtually devoid of snow. The only skiable trail is on the 2K of artificial snow. Could be a very monotonous 50K. Jackson has decent snow, all things considered, but I doubt that the rescheduled 30K will go. Leland |

I believe the Balsams report, that is a northern snow belt. However,
southern Vermont also has a snow belt. Prospect Mountain is reporting 5-15 base with 40K open and good skiing. That is the closest reliable skiing for most southern people, over 100 days per year, year in and year out. I skied there until May 7 a few years ago. High elevation and northern facing slope is the key. 7 miles East of Bennington on Rt. 9. Also good BC at Woodford State Park and other trails nearby. BC is probably not very good in these conditions. Check out www.prospectmountain.com. |
