While they were able to get a little in last night, snow levels jump late today/tonight--unfortunately long enough to shut the guns down. But we chill right back down on Sunday to hopefully get them back in action Sunday night.

Although I wouldn't be totally shocked if they opened up tomorrow, I would tend to agree with you. I am thinking they would scrap this weekend and just push for a Monday or midweek opening. At this point you might as well put down a decent product rather than open for a half day. Plus if they were to open tomorrow they would have announced it already I would think, as any snowmaking to be done was done last night as tonight and early tomorrow AM are not favorable for any snowmaking.

Agreed... they won't be making snow tonight (mother nature might offer some help though) so if they couldn't make it today, I don't think they'll do it tomorrow. Lows in the 10s tomorrow night through Tuesday so if they're willing to open midweek they'll be good to go by then, if not then next weekend should be a definite for them (as well as hopefully Killington finally).

I agree that an opening tomorrow isn't likely unless Ma Nature lowers the temps and humidity a bit, but anything can happen. That being said, the snow made last night did not sufficiently cover T2, which was evident from our vantage point atvthe Phoenix. Temp outside the condo at South Ridge is currently about 35. if I were to guess, I would say that the vertical difference between South Ridge and the bottom of T2 is a little over 1000 feet.

I don't see them opening Monday unless they were opening for the season. Financially, I don't see that as a viable option right now.
I may drive up to Barker later on and listen for guns, but I fear this weekend is a wash. I do hope the light ncp at South Ridge right now, is falling as snow higher up...
