I think these twitts will be remembered for a long time On a side note, I think that skimaine.com should get snow updates directly from ski resorts. The first email of the morning came from Sugarloaf: they got fresh powder.

It is snowing hard in NY while Vermont got somewhere between 1-3″ of new snow last night. If you decided to make it a long powder weekend, make sure to be prepared for a long drive from the tri-state area.

However, high winds were also expected to impact lift operations at certain resorts.

However, they all use  rather cautionary language – so don’t get your hopes too high and check with a snow report. It looks that  warmer temperatures and possible rain might ruin the opening weekend.
