I think my own personal hell would be something like this, where I get feet of snow I have to constantly shovel, but no where to ski

I think Cornhead would show some great powder shots he has gotten in that area so their ski and snowboarding hills just not big vertical but light lake effect snow that might be as good if not less water then what you get out in your wonder big state and state to left. I find out soon about lake effect and light snow at Snowy Ridge maybe this weekend.

Less talk more action boys

We'll know more tomorrow afternoon. I can't access their webcam, blocked, won't come up on my phone. Somebody check it and post a pic, please.

It's official, buried Scotty video to follow.

IT'S OFFICIAL - Snow Ridge will be open on Saturday, Nov 22 from
10 am-4 pm. One lift (Ridge Runner) 5+ trails available. We received 5" of new snow overnight and it's been snowing lightly this morning - with heavier snow in the forecast later today.

Their webcam is operating now. Here's a snapshot from 12:30pm today. The color distortion is how the webcam/website rendered it. Needless to say, they are probably 100% open and if they have woods, that wouldn't surprise me to find them ski-able.

OMG. That's an eastern skier's wet dream!

It was one of my most memorable days on skis, the steep ravines will be fun. Scotty and Rambo are in for an experience!

Snow Ridge Ski Resort added 3 new photos.
Another 10" overnight brings our total snowfall to 35" since Tuesday. All natural lake effect snow - nothing manmade. Snow Ridge will be open Saturday 10am-4pm. Be sure to be here for some great early season skiing & riding. Get your season pass now before the price increases on Dec 1.

Should be more skiable than the 57" on opening day last year, stoked!

Those guys will have 200% open terrain. They'll be skiing off everything - outhouses, cars and treetops. They won't be seeing rocks until next June!

Or next week, 60° with rain. I think Buffalo could be in for a world of hurt, flooding, collapsed roofs. Glad we're hitting it before, yes the ravines will be sweet, can't wait!

I'll do my best, but I have a feeling taking pics will be low on my priority list with 35" of fresh!
