January 8th, 2009. Perhaps the tide of warmer weather in Franconia has truly turned in favor of winter. In the past 24 to 36 hrs we have received 3" to 6" inches of snow in the western White Mountains area, with a mix of sleet having occurred during the middle of the storm. We now have a wonderful base coat to support all the good freshness to come. The forecast for the next 5 out of 7 days for the Franconia area predicts snow or flurries so it's getting good.
This week's Downhill skiers & riders at Cannon Mountain, Bretton Woods or Loon can expect primarily packed powder surfaces, with loose granular secondary, while Cross-Country skiers can expect packed powder on top of a "solid base layer". With every flurry the trails just keep getting better & better. Snowmobile enthusiasts can expect to find most all trails to be open with major corridors groomed and ready to go. Snow conditions may prove thin in heavy traffic areas however. Ice Climbers and winter hiking enthusiasts will not be disappointed by either the Franconia Notch State Park or White Mountain National Forest which surround it. Lots of ice awaits, and lots of wild quiet times are to be enjoyed, but do so safely of course.
