Valentine's Day 2007 always comes to mind. I can't remember exactly how much snow but maybe 3' in 24 hours? I couldn't get to my apartment in Burlington, so I parked in the parking garage at Gutterson for a few days and stayed with friends on campus. We ended up sledding down Main St., jumping off roofs into snow piles, and bombing around empty streets in my Subaru.

During that storm the sidewalk plow in Essex Junction broke, so we had an extra Monday off. Legend tells of a vigilante high-schooler that forget his cinderblock on the sidewalk.....

I was a bit younger then - 14 or so. We played guitar hero for hours on end at a friends house, attempted to ride our bikes through the snow to the store to get maple syrup for sugar on snow, realized maple was way more expensive than what we could afford, and then physically couldn't bike back home. I think we got 3 snow days in a row maybe?

Yes. I was working a service job in Stowe. All of the visitors were freaking out. One of my coworkers discovered his wipers weren’t working when we got off. He didn’t want to leave his car bc he was afraid it would get towed. Another coworker drove ahead of him so that he could blindly follow her

Greatest snowstorm ever. I skied Mad River Glen for a $14 lift ticket. Valentine’s Day special. The snow under the single chair was armpit deep. After the lift closed I came back to my car and the snow was all the way up to the windows. Must have been almost a four foot storm.

Hilariously just like mad river to have previously committed to discounted lift pricing on epic powder day. I’ll be up there tomorrow.

I remember that! We had no sidewalk in front of our house until Spring.

My work was closed for 2 1/2 days. I was able to jump off a shed roof into the show and not get hurt, it was awesome.

Dude we had tons in Lebanon, biggest snow heaps I remember seeing and the plow on my street made a giant heart at the intersection. Such a fun day

I was in college, skipped class and somehow made it to Jay Peak. One of the best snowboarding days ever.
