So stowe measures their snowfall at the base?(1500 feet) and they average over 300 inches a year at that elevation? Did I hear that correctly? lol
What non mogul trails does stowe leave ungroomed after a overnight powder dump? It's all the woods. They have a ton of blue trails. Do they leave most of them ungroomed in the morning?(don't start with not steep enough because grand targhee would have to groom their entire mountain if that was the case) Because there aren't that many blacks and I don't think the fresh pow would last that long on just a few blacks. Most mountains on the ec tend to groom most of their trails because most ec skiers don't know what to do with powder. Customers who can't ski powder(99% of ec skiers) complain to management if everything isn't cordoroy especially at expensive large corporate yuppie resorts.(ie opposite of magic mountain) Is it different this far north?

He didn't school me at all.
He really offered nothing to counteract the obvious climate stations I listed. He works for a resort. He's hardly not biased. I don't blame him. It's his job. He said snowfall increases as you go further north...duh along the spine. Duh. Never argued that. He said there's upslope effect on the spine...duh....I listed specific data/climate maps/spotter reports/climate stations. A whole shitload of data and he just discusses some basic climatology of the area that no one argued otherwise. Upslope effect can equal 250 inches or 500 inches or 150 inches. It can be anything. Saying there's upslope effect is irrelevant to the argument that climate stations in the area/burlington nws snowfall maps don't match what's being reported in NVT. Also, to compare nvt to colorado is a joke when it comes to snowfall. So much evidence, it's almost laughable. Clearly, NVT is snowiest along with tug hill. I simply find it hard to believe that get 125 inches more snow per year than tug hill and the stations nearby obviously don't confirm that type of snowfall. I'm not even saying NVT doesn't get more snow tug hill by
A LITTLE. But that huge gap just doesn't seem right to me.
It's also laughable you debating me and you don't let me answer you due to posting restrictions. Give me a break pal. I also love your personal shots at me when I make none towards you.
Oh and who on here would be crazy enough to pay 108 bucks for one day of skiing? It's a disgusting rip off. And you're forced to pay at the window if you want to make sure conditions are good/go on a powder day.
Also, since he only checks the snowboard every 24 hours, couldn't a lot of snow drift onto the board?
