3/15 Fr and 3/16 Sa. Wasn't here for this, but my wife, kids and social media seem to agree that there was ~6" both days (12" storm total)

Thank you. Thats good to know. That was the weekend of B regionals?
I'm going on second hand info and Facebook reels for the period between Mar 14 and 19.
How much did it snow during that time?

Why is K closing early for the eclipse?

Because it's supposed to start to getting dark around 2:15.

Yes, that was the B Championships. Still, the amount of powder lately is ridiculous. I can't decide if yesterday or the March 23 was the best days. Today was fantastic early, then it started snowing again and we had a good coating up high.

since this has morphed into questions about the eclipse:

sugarbush closing lifts at 3:10 - will resume spinning once daylight has returned.
stowe - lifts close from 3:00-3:45
mrg - lifts close 3:00-3:45. lift tickets sold out
bolton valley lift close 3:00-3:45. special tickets still available.

i suspect killington is closing at 2pm, because they wanna sweep and make sure no one's on the mtn and unlike the others have no plans to reopen. not sure why.

Maybe because it gives at least some staff time to drive to sugarbush to see the totality

Good, so I wasn't all that far off. My miscalculation was around Mar15-17

if you really plan on skiing during the eclipse or right after be careful the snow will probably quickly set up and get real weird.
