joshua_segal There is no change in the position of this season, although the arguments that it is better than the 2018-19 season are beginning to be credible.
For me, it is the opposite. Though, January seems to have favored the southern half of New England, with areas south of, say, the NH lakes region having excellent cold weather for snow making and a storm bigger than most in recent years.
January trended towards a good recovery with only one solid storm. But we’ve had to deal with extreme cold and wind, especially during the weekends. I skied Jay Peak on Monday this week (powder day after the storm) and the most common comment on the lifts was “about time we are back to this, haven’t skied snow like this in over a month.” As in, Jay went a long time without a significant storm over a deep base (by Jay standards).
If we get back into a good storm cycle in February (especially if accompanied by a bit less wind and warmer temps), I’ll get back behind this season being a blockbuster. If things get worse, the season is going down to third best for me personally. Could go either way at this point.
