Epic Snow Storm hits Windham! Well, you know the saying be careful what you wish for??? Apparently we wished and wished and wished and the snow gods started listening. Windham Mountain has received 72 inches of snow in five days. From February 23rd through February 27th a low pressure system circulated over Windham Mountain and dumped tons and tons of snow. It was deemed a ‘snowicane’ by local weather forecasters. The result is a pretty amazing scene with snow plows leaving behind 10 to 12 foot high piles of snow along local roadways and in parking lots. What does this mean for ASF students? Well, we think it is safe to say we will have great conditions for the rest of our winter programs which end on March 14th.
