I was thinking about Jiminy for this day but it looks like they're not going to reopen until 12/9. So...anyone interested in a little warm-up for the 12/15 gathering on Friday, 12/8?

If you had posted this yesterday I may have gone, but i told my boss that I would work that day since I had nothing to do.:angry:
I might be flying back from Paris on Thursday instead of Friday. The wife is going away the following week so I won't be able to go to Sundown on 12/13. This day might be a possibility. I will check with the wife before committing.

I expect a fair amount of snowmaking to take place this week. They will be closed until Wednesday which should give them some time to really prep the surface. I expect a couple top-to-bottom runs, but they basically had to start over this weekend after the deluge on Friday. Keep an eye here for up to the minute info:

Was hanging with a friend who works at the hill... He was EXTREMELY optimistic that there will be a lot of terrain open by Friday...
His comment was "it's so much easier to make and maintain snow when we don't have to open"..
Friday should ROCK! Thursday I'll be out and give a report...

They must have been pounded out snow last night. Forecast looks good too. Should be a good day. Looks like Belt will be open by then. Hoping for another variation on the front like Minya or Ike. Either way the snow should be nice.

With the consistent cold this week, I think it will be very good too. I just wish they had another variation down the front. 50% chance for snow on Friday now... Woohoo!
