VERMONT SKI REPORT

Last Updated: January 23, 2026

Southern Vermont is expected to see the highest snowfall totals over the next five days, with Stamford (7"), Marlboro and Brattleboro (6") leading the list. Stamford is closest to Mount Snow, which should be a top pick for powder chasers this weekend. Nearby, Stratton Mountain (near Landgrove and Peru – both forecasting 5" and reporting up to 3" new snow in 24 hours) is also primed for solid conditions with a base over 15". In central Vermont, Killington and Okemo are likely to benefit from nearby sensors in Shrewsbury and Barnard (both with 5" forecasts and fresh snow reported), making them attractive mid-state options.

Woodbury and Greensboro in northern Vermont reported the highest fresh snowfall totals today, with up to 4" in 24 hours and 3" forecast over five days, pointing to improving conditions at nearby resorts like Burke Mountain and Jay Peak. Jay, in particular, remains a standout thanks to its deep snowpack (24"+ near Westfield) despite a modest short-term forecast. Stowe and Smugglers' Notch might see moderate improvements, with surrounding areas like Underhill and Waterbury forecasting 3–4" this week. Overall, southern Vermont is poised for the best combination of fresh snow and forecasted accumulation, but select northern zones like Jay Peak and Burke will still offer strong snow depths and quality turns.
