Wipeout: conditions for March 19 2025

Cue appropriate surf music, because right now you’d need go on a ‘skiing safari’.

Hit the road if you want to go skiing

This post is about conditions for March 19 2025, and forecast for the next few days. See jump links to Conditions and Forecast.

How’s the skiing in general?

This is setting up to be a very short spring ski season. Great while it lasted, but it seems to be going too quickly. Some places have hung the ‘offseason’ sign because we’re already just a few days from spring and the crocuses are blooming.

And yet- there’s a slim chance of northern NY, VT, and NH to pick up 2-4″ of snow by Saturday, which would definitely make for better skiing on the weekend.

Hit up ‘State of the touring centers‘ or in the menu above for reported conditions as of today. Snow depth graphic below:
