Northern New England Gets Buried In Snow, And Skiers Love It

BURKE, Vt. (AP) — The gods have answered the call of skiers, snowmobilers and dog mushers, dumping mounds of snow in northern New England following little snow last season during the warmest winter on record in some spots. The biggest snowstorms of this season, followed by days of flurries, have unloaded more than 2 feet of snow — higher amounts in the mountains — in the past week across Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. "I haven't seen skiing this good in Vermont in over 20 years," said Tom Luxon, of Norwich, on Thursday as he was leaving the slopes at Burke Mountain. Brian Thompson drove five hours from New Haven, Connecticut, to experience the powder. "It's just been unreal," he said of the conditions at Burke. The snow bounty comes just a year after the region suffered one of its mildest winters.
