I have never been out on the snow before Dec before, and this year wqith all the snow places were getting i wanted to make an attempt to get out therer a few times in NOV. qith my starting date being Thanksgiving, Belleayre was suppost to be open 2 weeks ago, but then it got warm, and i have not heard anything about hunter or Jimminy yet. WHERE'S EVERYONE PLANNING ON GOING?

ANY MOUNTAINS OPEN, OR PLAN ON OPENING FOR THANKSGIVING?

Have you browsed the forum today? A few threads on both Hunter and Jiminy. There is a good chance both will open Friday or Saturday. I'm trying to get a group together at Hunter:

Der. I just noticed you were asking about Thanksgiving Day. Killington is the only option I know of so far...

If you don't cause a freak heat wave, there's a good chance. I'll be in Killington Thursday and Friday and depending on conditions, may hit Hunter on Saturday.

I plan to be at K for Thursday and Friday.

Mount Snow is going to open the top with blue and black. I need green to keep the fam happy.

Notice green trails just have the upper portions open, easiest at the bottom will be chute and Bubby Buster, both intermediate trails, both will be crowded and bumped up. This is from opening day last year, Bunny Buster, which was the only way at the bottom of the mountain:
