The Vermont Snowfall record. Aka biggest snowstorm in Vermont weather record keeping history:

From Wikipedia:

Vermont Snowfall Record
Wilmington is in the heart of the Southern Vermont snowbelt. This snowbelt lies mainly within the southern Vermont portion of the Green Mountain National Forest and includes the high elevation Southern Vermont towns of Woodford, Searsburg, Wilmington and Marlboro.[3] Between February 24th and February 27th, 2010, Wilmington received a record 54 inches of snow. Over four feet of snow fell during this February 2010 blizzard. Snowfall amounts of 54 inches[4] up to 67 inches were reported for Wilmington, West Dover and the surrounding towns. The February 2010 blizzard in Wilmington and West Dover appears to be the single storm snowfall record for anywhere in the state of Vermont in Vermont weather record keeping history. The previous single storm snowfall record was 50 inches between March 2nd-5th, 1947 in Readsboro, Vermont. [5]

PA: 1960

What's the significance of 1960? Well, that's when Pa first skiied Stratton. Aka BEFORE YOU. He was the first. The real deal. True Ski pioneer. Pa hiked Stratton with a bunch of surveyors who were scouting the mountain for the future Stratton ski area. No trails were cut yet, he had to ski from the summit through the woods.

Stratton officially opened as a ski area in 1962. Yesterday Pa celebrated 50 years of skiing Stratton ski area. He and I have been going there together for over 30. We headed up in the morning. Absolutely beautiful sunny day with fresh powder on the ground. It was packed; I'd say the most skiers at the mountain I can ever remember. Pa used my new skiis and raged the slopes. He can still ski circles around most dudes half his age.
