Snowfall Returns to Eastern US Ski Slopes After Rain
Snowfall Returns to Eastern US Ski Slopes After Rain
Published : 31-Dec-2023 07:44
Fresh snowfall has been reported in Eastern North America after a Christmas week marred by periods of heavy rain.
Maine's Sunday River (pictured above), which was one of those hardest hit by the rain, which damaged some infrastructure causing it to close for several days in the run up to Christmas, was one of those to see the most fresh snowfall on Saturday – around 10cm (4"). It is back up to 18% of its terrain open.
Other mountains reporting similar falls included Cannon Mountain in New Hampshire and Sugarloaf in Maine.
However conditions across the region remain dire compared to normal season with largest resort, Vermont's Killingon, only having 14% of its runs open and 30cm of machine-made snow on that for the peak New Year holiday period.
The next few days look dry before more snowfall arrives later this week. Crucially temperatures are expected to remain at or below freezing with no more warm weather spikes that have marred the season in the region so far in the short-term forecast.
