Jay: So Little, So Late

As much as the first two months of operations at Jay were amazing, the last two months have been pathetic. Last night, a few inches fell on top of a lunar landscape. Only groomers were skiable. And lower elevation natural snow areas were starting to show cracks.

The first few runs were nice, but once the new snow was pushed around, the frozen base became apparent. The snow would continue in the afternoon and evening making Sunday the better day. But after Sunday, there would be a massive rain storm, warm temperatures, and a hard freeze.

Jay barely got into the February blizzard that delivered record snows to southern New England. The last major one-foot-plus storm was in late January. March is often the snowiest month. But this winter, it looks like it will be the least snowy since October.

If we are not going to have more storms, I’d prefer the weather change to spring ASAP so we can at least have some nice spring skiing days before the melt out. But currently, we keep getting teased by a few inches, following by rain, then warmer temperatures, and finally a freeze.
