Fresh Snow Is Currently Blasting Southern Vermont Ski Areas

It's May 22, 2025, but Mother Nature has delivered at least one last helping of snow to ski areas in Southern Vermont.

Stratton Mountain Resort took to Instagram to celebrate the occasion with a short clip from their Summit webcam feed. Temperatures are hovering just at freezing, but the heavy flakes are starting to stick as of 12:35 a.m. EST.

Killington is also seeing some snow today. The resort officially closed for the winter season on Saturday, May 10, 2025, and was forced to temporarily pause summer operations due to this week's wet, windy, and cold weather.

In preparation for up to an inch of rain and perhaps significant snow accumulation up high, Killington has delayed the Bike Park opening to Friday, May 30th, and the Adventure Center until Saturday, May 31st. The golf course is temporarily closed due to course damage from this week's storms, but Killington expects to reopen the course later this week.

Mount Snow appears to be receiving a mixture of rain and snow at higher elevations. The resort's Summit webcam view is obscured due to a thick layer of fog, but a few flakes appear to be accumulating on the green grass.

Check out webcam images of the new snowfall from Stratton (above) and Killington and Mont Snow below. All images captured at approximately 12:30 p.m. EST on May 22, 2025.

The storm is expected to continue throughout today and into tomorrow, Friday, May 23, 2025. According to OpenSnow, accumulations could total anywhere from 1-3 inches at ski resorts in Southern Vermont.

The current storm track has Northern Vermont missing out entirely, but some peaks in New Hampshire above 6,000 feet, including Mt. Washington, could accumulate up to six inches of snow before all is said and done.

Unfortunately for east coast skiers, the only ski resort open in the entire region this late in the spring is Big Snow, the indoor ski slope located in New Jersey just outside of New York City. No matter. New Englanders with a proclivity for backcountry ski touring should be rewarded on the flanks of Mt. Washington in Tuckerman Ravine and elsewhere.

May snowfall isn't necessarily uncommon on New England's highest peaks, but the phenomenon is certainly worth celebrating as Vermont and New Hampshire most likely won't see winter weather for another five to six months.

If you're a New Englander who is planning on venturing up high for fresh turns this weekend, pack a camera and feel free to send me an email with your best shots. We'd love to share them right here on powder.com.
