2016-2017 Resort Opening Dates

[spring_mountain_high]

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.

also taking advantage of pent up demand..the junkies need their fix and will pay more for it

i need it baddd mannnn...just one runnnn mannn

Wachusett opens Friday with Ralph's, Challenger, and Indian summer. No word on the summit yet although they've been blowing conifer and 10th too so maybe they will be good to go soon.

$81 for Killington? For a couple trails up top and one down to the bottom? Maybe this is crowd control.....

I heard that they were blowing on 5 trails at once. Given they are Wachusett trails, but that is still some impressive firepower. They'll open up lot of options real fast now (lots of options from a wachusett standpoint).

Loon was good today. 4 routes from the gondola and 2 lower down leading to the double. Not officially TTB but there was a one groomer wide track to the base. N peak was lit up and should be open for the weekend.

I know this will turn around real quick, but you got to love it when there is more open trails/vertical in the northeast than what is being offered in Summit County, CO.

Mount Snow did not suck today. There is a first time for everything.

Okemo was a good time today. Full report posted in Trip Reports subforum.

They installed a new pumphouse this summer and doubled their firepower. So now they can hit practically half the mountain at once. It'll be nice having more terrain open early that's for sure.

Waterville opens Friday with basically a single TTB run, consisting of the following: Ruthie's Run, Main Street, White Caps, Upper Sel's Choice, Tommy's World Cup Run, and The Pasture.

According to on the snow, you are right northeast has 5 more runs open. It has been a bad start here.

But both have the same number of ski areas open.

Interestingly, there are something like 25 ski areas in Colorado and the Northeast has has like 100+ of which 43 are in New England states

I was there:



Beautiful weather. Good snow from start to end made it nice. My legs didn't need extra pitch by the end of my day but the North Face would have made it better if it had opened.

Was out 9:45-3:00 half hour lunch at 1.

Looking for intel on the Killington scene this weekend. How bad is it going to be (for people who want to recreationally ski, not participate in anything World Cup related) ?? Sunday probably better than Saturday?

 

[tnt1234]

Made the drive to Hunter today. Was a good time - spring conditions on three feeder trails to the same lower section. Bumps on some of the top sections by the end of the day, and not to crowded at all....long drive for us, but super glad we did it. Great way to spend the day outside....

 

[JimG.]

Mont St Anne in Quebec open for skiing on 37 trails.

Le Massif also open with 27 trails.

 

[ss20]

Everyone north of NYC should be open by late next week. And after last year that is amazing to post.
