Official gauges only (NOAA GHCN-Daily snowfall and NRCS SNOTEL winter precipitation). Not resort marketing, not OpenSnow, not OnTheSnow. This page uses the NOAA GHCN-Daily station US1VTOL0001. Mid-mountain ESTIMATE inches, when shown, are labeled estimates — not a resort report. This gauge sits in the valley or village, not on the summit.

ESTIMATE: ski-area coordinate ÷ official gauge, OSU PRISM 4 km 1991–2020 November–April precipitation normals. Applied to this season’s observed gauge snowfall. Precipitation, not fluff inches, and 4 km cells smooth the Green Mountains — labeled estimate only, not a resort snowfall report.
Vermont official gauges sit in villages and valleys, often 500–2,000+ ft below mid-mountain. The percentile compares this gauge to its own past — it is not an on-mountain snow report. This gauge is 1,731 ft below the ~2,800 ft mid-mountain used for the estimate.
Ghost lines are past seasons. Dashed is the median. Band is the 10th–90th percentile envelope. X-axis is day of season, not calendar year.
Sliding the date recomputes the percentile against the same calendar date in past seasons — never a full year vs a partial year.
CoCoRaHS observer near Jay / Westfield (1,069 ft), 4 miles from the resort. Jay Peak's own COOP (1,840 ft) ended in 2014 and has no overlap with this station. 2025-26 is valid but holey (29 missing days, gap at the 7-day cut). Enosburg Falls is much lower and farther.
