Weather doesn’t look great this coming week… I can’t wait until the mad river single chair blog is back. He puts out great content. I wish I could donate to his forecasting efforts!

They're kidding, right? Wouldn't free refills mean it's snowing so fast your tracks get covered up between runs?

i hate skinutz so much. rode on the chair behind him last year or the year before. he had mysterious brown stains all over his clothes. he proceeded to chainsmoke cigs at the top of gh. he's ass at skiing. if i ever see him again ill tell him what i think of him. if you're going to ski recklessly, you gotta be good. it's just a matter of principle. thank god he doesn't know about mrg 🙏

Wait….this was opening day?! WTAF?!

Honestly opening day has just become crazy stupid at this point. I did opening day a couple times years ago and it was never like this. Opening day 2014 just showed up in my Facebook memories recently...I got in line 15 minutes before the lift opened and was one of the first 10 chairs up the mountain. Zero chance of that happening today (unless the weather is absolute crap on opening day).

I waited until 10, got in the singles line and skied right on the Bravo. Waited maybe 5 minutes at HG. This whole opening day thing is another IKON by product.

Skiing at North as been much more civilized. ;-)
Agree regarding North. Beyond the just the start of the season, the opening of north is what I’m excited for.

I think Saturday was crazy because of a few unique circumstances. This was the first Saturday opening in recent memory. And this whole “snowvember” has more folks skiing earlier than normal. Yesterday was more normal with respect to numbers.
