so whose making snow this week ...

[skiadikt]

so far the boyne resorts - sunday river, loon & sugarloaf - and jay are in. no coincidence that it's the resorts with currently the most open terrain. and even if it's show snow, it's a great way to market next season's passes by showing commitment to their customers. kudos.

I'm happy for those of you that live near these places, but at a 7-8 hour drive according to Google, it's easier to go to Utah. For that type of time, I'd expect epic conditions. Stick a fork in this season for me.

I understand this. Utah is going to get good snow the first week of April. :smile:

We are slated to get some early this coming week. It's not over yet! The Park City resorts are set to close April 15th. Canyons looked pretty thin today.

And it is great to see Jay, SR, SL, and Loon pushing the envelope. Too bad Sugarbush is not following suit.

Skied Sugarbush yesterday. Stick a fork in the place.

Any snow making in New England this week is to patch and extend the life of the limited terrain that is still open. Temps are marginal for snow making. A few optimistic colder nights mixed with 40's for daily temps. Can't fault any mountain for ending the season after this weekend.

Highs will be close to freezing Mon and Tue in the mts...lows will be single digits to low 10s sun-tue nights. Much better than marginal.

Rumor at Loon is not only are the going to make snow but they are also going to be hauling snow from South Peak to the main base. They have a big group coming that need accommodate.

But considering that it poured here in Lincoln all day it'll take miracle to move what little is left.

I was told today at Wildcat that they will be blowing snow. They were putting out guns today and blowing air though the pipes

 

[witch hobble]

I got a couple of midweek Loon vouchers. Might get a bonus day? I'll take it! Why the hell not?

Yup.

Wildcat Mountain is scheduled to RE-OPEN Thursday, March 29th at 9:00am. We will be CLOSED Monday - Wednesday this week to make and groom snow. Yes, with the return of cold weather we are making snow in March

Temperatures are dropping and we are ready to make snow. Snowmaking will proceed on Royal Coachman, Royal Tiger and Grey Ghost today.

Summit at Sugarloaf is gonna be awesome!

Thanks for he update ... while everyone I know that is not a skier is complaining about the colder weather this is really good news, glad to see mountains working as hard as they can to extnd the season

Saddleback cranking out snow at the top of the Rangeley...

People think that this is all PR and blow for show, but for some places it's a heck of a lot more than that. Both SR and SL have major events and they aren't for weeks. I assume other mountains have events too. Aside from events, SR has 900 Brits coming the week after Easter. I mean, seriously, if it is cold enough, they either cancel a lot of stuff or they make snow.

Loon, Jay, and Saddleback may not have the big spring events later on, or the reservations, but they want the skier visits and who can blame them. EVERYONE is in the red on skier visits. Heck, it's so bad at Killington, the Brits who typically go there will have to go somewhere else unless K start blowing snow like nobody's business, which doesn't seem likely.

Loon, Jay and Saddleback also have real estate to sell. If this commitment to skiing results in a the sale of even a couple of units, it's probably money well spent.
