Mount Greylock Has Optimal Snow Conditions

Mount Greylock State Reservation staff last week reported a quiet late fall and winter on the mountain but noted currently snow conditions are perfect.

In the recent past, the mountain has gone some winters with spotty snow coverage. The Thunderbolt Ski Run has been consistently canceled over the past decade. Organizers have had difficulties scheduling a race around the varied weather and snow conditions.

Council member Heather Lindscott said she just skied down the Thunderbolt and agreed snow conditions were on point. She said she was also thankful for new signage on the Thunderbolt to enhance safety.

Chairman Cosmo Catalano added that the snow has yet to turn into ice though frigid temperatures were expected on the weekend.
