This site, mountain forecast, seems to be over optimistic from what I remember from last year, but if right K could have 9.4" at elevation by Friday afternoon.

Two different NWS forecasts have them 5-10" and 6"+. Only time it will mix on the ridge will be between 2-4am Friday. Down lower it could be mostly rain. I'm definitely heading up Friday am to poach the mighty Powerline.

Looks a little more crowded today! Still doesn't seem too bad though.

I am amazed at how crowds form like that. It is a triple and not that fast and there is about 600 vert to ski with a straight shot down Rime.

That is made worse by the park, but even still it is fascinating how people can crowd up a 600 vert trail...

What I found interesting is there is more natural snow at K than at A-basin and Loveland.Looks like better temps too as K is blowing TTB right now and those 2 are shut down.

The northeast is getting the better weather by far! Too warm here this week. No promising signs of colder weather until next week. We plan on skiing this weekend but I would imagine that they will need cold weather soon. I am glad for you all now that Killington is open.

Just on Superstar though right? And that won't be open for the general public until after the race?

That was the park. Only went down that way 2 0r 3 times today. There was hardly any lines today because all these park rats just stayed up there and walked back up to get more hits. I skied 10-3 today and they were blowing all day. Bumps formed nicely, when you could see they were fun. Never waited in line for more than 2 or 3 minutes. Last year on a early season weekend there was a 20 minute wait. Good opening day.

Correct and Killington apparently confirmed as much on a FB post. They also mentioned SS is not "retail snow". The density and moisture content is being made to WC standards already apparently. Mike S even mentioned they would need some time to till it and change it back to "retail snow" after the race.
