Mt Baker, Washington is forecasted to receive nearly 100″ of snow by the weekend! Several rounds of precipitation is expected to bring snow above 6000′. The snowfall will be heaviest today through Thursday night and could fall at a rate of 2 feet per day.

For me, billski emerging from his summer sabatical and starting random threads is the surest sign that Winter is coming.

All we need is for him to start a thread about people buying all the bread and milk from the stores when it snows, and we'll be good to go.

Looking at the ten day forecast, the high temperatures are definitely trending lower, but the low temperatures are not going down in a similar fashion. It looks like the cloud cover is expected to retain the heat at night.

This may be to Killington's benefit since elevation may turn out to be the most important factor in opening first.

Doh! I just edited my post. I meant to say that the low temperatures are NOT going down that much.

Wouldn't be surprised to see a coordinated effort by KTon and SR with the new PR/Advertising stuff going on. That's not saying that the mountains themselves don't want to win the battle, so to speak, but Boyne and Powdr could take it out of their hands.

Then again, that would be so lame. They can work together later. Rev up the pick ups and t-tops!
