As of this morning:"We will be offering terrain on the Barker Mountain Express and the Aurora Peak Quad, which will be accessed by the Chondola in South Ridge. and we expect to see Right Stuff, Lower Sunday Punch, Paradigm, Northern Lights, Borealis, Aludra, Lights Out, and Lower Downdraft open,Just checked the SR PM report....They've suddenly changed their tune on "plans for opening day". They went from Barker & Aurora opening to this in the report: "The current plan is to open with top-to-bottom skiing on Aurora Peak, with access into Aurora basin from the Chondola to Paradigm trail. We may even open terrain on Barker, but it will depend upon how much snow we make tonight. "
I am a little annoyed because I would so much rather ski Right Stuff than Northern LightsHowever they did announce that everything will be left au natural (which may be the first & last time you ever hear that from SR). Either way can't wait to start the season !!

Mount Snow says they will try to open Free Fall later today. Seals the deal for me tomorrow.

I have it from a VERY reliable source that the rope on Freefall will be dropping probably around noon for soft whales under the Ratnik and HKD love that's currently going on there!

That's ridiculous... if people pay that, all the more power to them I guess.
Early season prices in general are a rip-off. Sugarbush is charging $78 from what I can tell and has less than K open. Okemo is charging $65 which is a bit more reasonable but still high. Stowe is $90 walk-up or $72 online. I'd look up more but I need to hop on a conference call...

They charge that much to keep people away. Not enough terrain is open for everyone so they jack up the prices to get less people on the slopes and still make good money.
Three Catskill Mountain resorts will open Friday 11/25. Guess which ones 
Its all good and better than last year.

Groomed for tomorrow or left in its whale-state?

Probably all whales, unless they REALLY need to push some snow into some areas. Usually they'll let the Northface trails drain for a few days before pushing the whales out
