Cold enough to have the fan guns at the base of superstar on. Guns are also still on in North Ridge. My guess is they open at lunch. who knows...
Its 10/25, the only other place open in the country is A-Basin. Even opening tomorrow, they are still way ahead of the game.

K's condition report says they expect to be loading the K1 shortly after noon today. Temps dropped overnight according to the report.

Thanks for the pointers, especially Davis with the Mt Snow base and summit.
Any caveats with using Weather Underground stations? To layman they seem solid, and there are a lot of them.

SR has northern lights lit up top to bottom as of this morning too. I wonder if they will be able to/want to rush to open before this weekend and warm up or wait until after it passes and miss the chance at October turns.

This wunderground station is the closest to the top of K, its the top of Okemo

Those Weather Underground stations are just backyard weather stations installed by enthusiasts. My main caveats with them is the same as the Davis stations. Their quality is strictly limited by their siting. Mass observations (temperature, humidity) should be 2 m above ground level and shielded from sunlight, and momentum observations (wind) should be 10 m above ground level with a clear exposure on all sides. Rarely are these stations setup this way, so they are almost always biased. This is especially true for wind observations which are practically useless outside of NWS stations.

I was going to say, we all hope your skiing skills are much better than your driving skills! :lol:

Actually, Northern Lights is not currently top to bottom. The guns are only on until the pitch just before the Firestar trail.

Shoot you're right. I didn't look closely enough at the trail right before the trees block your view. Still pretty good though!

Don't you hate it when someone drives into your frame and ruins what would have been a really nice photo?

I think the photo works with the car, even if it'd be better suited to a Subaru forum. But in a car forum they'd chide you for having the front wheel turned the wrong way!
