The first blanket of snow fell on Powderhorn Mountain Resort this past weekend, and the snowmaking crew was ready and waiting. Scheduled Opening Day is Friday, November 22 – Just 30 days away, but who's counting.

Jay Peak Resort's webcam caught photos and and video of Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas (A3) flying past the Vermont resort between 7-7:30 p.m Thursday night. The 'comet of the century' cruising across the sky capped off an incredible week with over a foot of snow, fiery foliage, and a full moon.

A foot of snow just fell at Jay Peak Resort, named the best in Vermont by the readers of Boston.com earlier this year. Snowy trails amid foliage prompted exuberant praise and the first tracks of the season for some diehard fans. "Well today was certainly a treat, no tricks, thanks to a foot of snow near the summit and cover down to the base since this storm cycle started Monday. Gotta love the blending seasons and the foliage doing its best to hang on as winter takes over the top for now," officials reported from the resort. ❄️
