Vermont’s Mount Snow Sees Over Six Feet of Snow in February
Mount Snow has had more snow days than clear ones since January and has since achieved a new snowfall record.
West Dover, VT – As the last week of February comes to a close, southern Vermont’s Mount Snow ticks off yet another highlight for its 60th Anniversary Season: a new snowfall record.
“With 76 inches of snow in February alone, it’s safe to say that this is the year,” said Kelly Pawlak, Mount Snow General Manager. “We’ve had fresh snow almost every day this month. We – and our guests – couldn’t be happier. This is a real Vermont winter.”
Since the beginning of January, Mount Snow has logged ten feet of snow, and more snow days than clear; natural snow has blanketed the slopes more than half the days in February. The storm pacing is not only the most snow recorded in February since 1977, but ranks as one of the highest totals for a single month in the mountain’s history. As the rest of the East Coast continues to dig out, the resort readies for a spring to remember.
“There’s so much amazing snow that we can’t help but celebrate,” said Dave Meeker, Mount Snow Marketing Manager. “March will be full of live music, competitions, and events – everyone is ready to make the most of warm spring sunshine. This incredible base means we’re set for some great parties, not to mention the best skiing and riding of the season.”
Mount Snow has had 100 percent of its skiable terrain open since the middle of January thanks to this consistent natural snowfall and ideal snowmaking conditions that began in the middle of November. A deep snowpack and the prospect of more natural snow have resort officials looking to the next six weeks as one of the best spring seasons in years.
