They're open. They have bumps. Just sayin. I did call, and they said to check before traveling though. Any takers?

Possibly. Tomorrow would probably work better so I can bring my stuff with me to work and head over from there.

The Face is bumped up.

Just hanging on with the weather.

Wish I could make it regardless.

We have closed for the night due to the rain, but will reopen tomorrow at 10am. The bumps on the face are the best they have ever been! If you guys come by tomorrow I'll be sure to get out and make a few runs. I have posted pics of the mountain from yesterday check out: www.facebook.com/thunderridgeski

If you can swing by a Potter Brothers location you can get a Thunder Ridge Flex Ticket to ski Wed or Thurs from 3 to 9 for 11.95.

Hey, anyone who skied Big Birch musta had egg rolls from the Ming Hoy. We always used to get those after ski team practice or ski club.

Tickets are 20 from 5 till 9. Ski Haus might have some flex tickets left, you should give them a call. We do have some bare spots but once you get to the goods they are great bumps on the face couldn't be any better! Hope to see a few of you here later, I should be out on the snow by 5:30

I'm planning to be there around 5:30 tonight. I'll be wearing bright orange pants, white helmet, and most likely a black and gray jacket.

Anyone have any recommendations on the best way to get there from the Waterbury CT area? 84 to 22 looks like a straight shot, but I'm worried about traffic.

I-84 to Rt 22 is the best way. No easy way to avoid the Danbury traffic.
