Killigton not open sooner than Mt snow

[SIKSKIER]

Looks like all of HS provoking and bragging about going to the beast for T-day turns cuz Mt Snow won't be open isn't going to happen.

From the K site:
ConditionsWednesday, November 25, 2009We've got some good news and some not so good news. First, the not so good news: Due to weather and snow conditions, we won't be carving Turkey Day turns.

Now for the good news: The forecast is calling for a change to winter this weekend with snow and cold temperatures and we should be back to skiing and riding by Sunday!

Mt Snow could be also.

I don't see MS being open on Sunday, and Killington has already been open the last couple of weekends.

what are you talking about ... k has already been open 3 weekends for a total of 8 days. admittedly other than sunday river, everyone's in the same situation right now but k does a couple trails on the upper mtn already blown and ready to go.

HWS was breaking testicles about Thanksgiving. This thread is 100% accurate and timely.

Who says Mount Snow is going to get 7 inches? I wouldn't be jumping to an conclusions about much snow at all out of this system until it's on the ground and not followed by ncp.

as of 11:45pm thursday its about 7 inches

I followed your link and found a whole lot of ncp last night. Can we share your Kool Aid? I even went to the Mount Snow website where they link to Accuweather's current wet conditions and wet forecast. I guess I'm not seeing this 7 inches of snow. Surely the mountain would be touting it if this was the case.

I'm really not trying to be an A$$, I guess I'm just confused. I too, want snow, and to be honest, I want everyone to get it, but like I said, without seeing on the ground, I'm having a hard time believing it unless it was/is already cold. In most of New England, it's not cold right now, anywhere...

God you are such a tool. How many hours a day do you sit on the computer searching for mundane stats and other dumb sh!t to post on skiing forums?
