MR flow rate will jump significantly from yesterdays level.

And it’s snowing…..

If they started with GH terrain as they claimed to want to do...there's really no angle camera operational at the moment that would show that. (Granted if the temps on their website are accurate, I'd be expecting them to be making snow up high if anything...)

Hope these guys don't come to grief like the guy who crashed on a waterbar 15-20 years ago before they had any mm snow on it and broke his neck...

Whoever said Sugarbush has world-class snowmaking capacity? LOL

choked when I read that. My take ( since no one asked) is that those of us who want early turns will just go to K-Mart. Most of us would be much more concerned if it wasn't for Ikon and the 7 days we get at places that are serious about snow making. Always a fiscal and supply risk with early snow, limited water and power, given deep thaws that 8 out f 10 x happen before or during Christmas.

Hard to believe that was 1993. I was sick that day, five good friends were with him. It was a devastating day for all involved. They put a bronze memorial plaque up there the next summer. Wonder if it's still there?

On the Gadd cam you can just see the top of GH. Also Golf Course cam, but it’s down.

But temps are not low enough - seeing 33 mid Mountian. And killington only making snow above Great Northern Rime/Reason intersection. So if they are making snow it could only be off the summit, and I don’t see that happening on the cam.
