Avalanche danger

This midweek snowfall has skiers and riders envisioning waist-deep powder runs in the Vermont backcountry, but Stowe Mountain Rescue and Stowe Mountain Resort are warning that the snow creates a perfect and dangerous scenario for avalanches.

The resort’s Mountain Operations crews will have the trails groomed, but the gladed areas, both in-bounds and backcountry, are risky, said resort spokesman Jeff Wise.
