I just checked both 12z ETA/NAM and 12z GFS and both show significant 
elevation snowfall on Sunday.  I looked at the 12z NAM up close with the 
BTV 5km grid and 850mb temps look good through 48hrs.  It has 850's of 0 
to -3 across most of the north country and snow levels are not that high 
at all...maybe 2,000ft in the Adirondacks and Greens possibly lower.  NAM 
has precip type in the mountains as being in the form of frozen precip in 
the grids.  GFS has a similar solution with a low pressure system tracking 
from NYC to BOS keeping BTV area in cold air region.  Total precip on both 
models is between .75 and 1.5".  I do infact believe that the 12z models 
show skiable snowfall in the Adirondacks and northern Green Mountains.

I'll be out of town from this afternoon through Sunday but will try to do 
quick updates if it appears likely.  Stay tuned to the NWS in Burlington 
and read their discussions to get the real information.
