Sunday River kicked off the winter 2014-15 countdown last night by firing up 32 snowguns on the T2 trail to test out the upgraded pumps in our snowmaking system and a some of the 170 new snowguns we added to our arsenal this season. Plus, we just like making snow. It's what we do here. It's in our DNA. And it's why we're able to open early in the season and stay open deep into spring.

[FONT="][/FONT][FONT="]No, the subject line is not a hoax. Temps dropped down to 18 degrees up on the mountain last night, so we took the opportunity to 'blow the mice out,' as it were. [/FONT][FONT="]Is there much point in running the snowmaking system in the middle of September? Not really. Sure, it's good to give the old girl a test run, but really, we're just sick of summer and ready for this winter to get started (even if it might be a while still).[/FONT] [FONT="]And if you're anything like us, which I'm betting you are, now's a good time for you to get the season started by grabbing yourself a 14-15 New England Pass before the pre-season deadline on October 13.[/FONT] [FONT="]So get on it. Check out today's snowmaking pics, watch this video, and lock in your New England Pass. Winter will be here before you know it.[/FONT] [FONT="]We already made snow, for crying out loud.

so cool. If these temps stay down we might be in for an early start.

Sugarloaf was blowing last night. First time in the 30's here, 37° on my Subaru's thermometer on my way to work this morning.

Killington's waiting to actually blow snow to open. Which they will do first. Sunday River can suck it.

I await your disappointment with bated breath. Although I have no idea nor care who opens first.

Love to see these shots. But we all need to cool down (sorry for the pun) because the forecast over the next several weeks is for above normal temps. Based on what I see in the models etc I think we have a solid month of waiting for any serious action on the snowmaking front (other than A-Basin and Loveland). Which is fine - Oct cold and snow (think Halloween storm of '11) is often the kiss of death.

Just surprised K isn't jumping on the bandwagon.
I will be excited for Killington to open. SR is too far away.

The Spartan Race is at K this weekend. My guess is that they do have some snowmaking equipment, just at lower elevations and ready to SOAK those attempting that TOUGH course!! Last year's had a climb UP Devil's Fiddle about mile 10
