 Only 2 kids currently scheduled for the daycare center next weekend (and mine is one of them). The mountain is just burried with snow, okay there's a few small bare spots starting to poke through on some natural trails around where the usual water bars are, but it's just plain great. And in all seriousness if they had the staff right now, they could have essentially the entire mountain open, because Carinthia is still edge to edge coverage with the 1/2 pipe and Vermonster parks still intact, and from what I could see with the exception of the Southeast facing all natural snow Sunspot trail in Sunbrook, that looked to be some prime edge to edge corn too.On the flipside, yesterday (the 14th) had a much bigger crowd than last Monday (the 7th), and hopefully with some nice weather this week, and many schools (at least in CT) having this week off that the weekday day tripper business will help management to decide to go for atleast another week. Then all we need to do is get mother nature to give us a DECENT weather weekend and things will be good. My gut feeling is that if they decide to go past this weekend, that they'll pick up enough extra day ticket buying folks from the "lack of Killington effect" to go atleast weekend only through the 1st weekend of May. And it's this "lack of Killington" effect that might be enough to swing a close call about open/close to the stay open descision. | |

| I agree with the doctor. Not only do you lose Killington as competition, but also Whiteface, Gore, Stratton, Okemo, Sunapee and Loon after this weekend. That leaves Stowe, Sugarbush, Jay, Wildcat, Sunday River and Sugarloaf as the only areas that I am aware of scheduled to operate the weekend of the 27th. Weekend of the 4th will probably be only Sugarbush and Sugarloaf....maybe Wildcat, but I don't think they have the base to make it.

Bring as many as possible!!! *Note* I am being purely 100% selfish in this statement as I need for Mount Snow to stay open atleast on weekends through the 27th so I can get 50 days in this year  | |
