April 16-17 Weekend Weather

[Angus]

So, I'm headed to Killington one day - which day should we choose? Looks like the BBQ will be good for Monday. Prognosticators weigh in and thank you in advance.

Interestingly, the forecasters are now calling for ice and sleet above 1,500' tonight and tomorrow - at least in N. Whites and W. Maine Mtns.

I've been watching this closely. Still looks like sunday is by far the better option. Maybe Win can give us one last update.

Regardless, it should be plenty soft on sunday as the rain is supposed to hit primarily saturday afternoon into sat. night at Killington as of today's forecast.

I would have thought Saturday would be a better bet, provided the rain doesn't actually hit till after closing?

Last weekend it was sunny and 50's both days in SoVT. At this time last week, they were calling for cloudy and a 40-50% chance of rain both days. We shall see.

Not by Winn.

He said the rain won't come till after lift closing. He was right. I skied last Sunday, nice and dry.

Saturday could very well be the better day. It's looking like rain holds til late PM/eve for now. While Sunday afternoon may clear out, you'd be left with the soggy remains (mosty rain with some summit snow). Will keep you posted.

There may even be some clouds and lighter rain showers slipping through for Monday but not looking too bad.
