Every time you turn on the news it seems more snow is falling in New England. Back to back snow storms have impacted the area in recent weeks, leaving feet of white in its wake. With record snowfall for the season, skiing and snowboarding conditions are at their prime.

While the ski resorts in the west are experiencing warmer temperatures and less snowfall than average, the big flakes continue to fall over the northeast. The east is on track to have one of the snowiest winters on record. This record breaking weather has brought something most New England skiers are not accustomed to seeing, powder. The snow on the east coast is wetter and doesn’t usually accumulate as much as the light powder snow of the Rockies. Usually by early March the slopes are covered with slushy, icy snow not the packed powder variety currently covering the White Mountains.
