Nice..might have to start the season there..if it starts

 

[kingslug]

Lower guns are on..so..are they opening as they say the 20TH?

 

[kingslug]

Our team here at Hunter Mountain has made the decision to postpone opening day due to unseasonably warm temperatures in the forecast. While we have been able to jump on certain snowmaking weather windows, including a productive run today, at this point we are not in a place to announce a new planned opening date but we will be sure to keep you all informed once we do.

Really weak snowmaking at the base despite the low temperatures. I see they are making on Madison though.

They are making HBK, Madison, Belt Parkway and also Overlook. I would not call that weak.

I'm at our cabin in NC right now and they are blowing snow at Sugar Mountain here also

Guess I'll wait till they have mainline open and start the season there. Weather is not looking good this week.

No reservations available yet, but I do see that the "X" days extend thru Nov 24th now.

 

[kingslug]

Will open Wednesday..

 

[kingslug]

Well if the weather report stays true..spring skiing Friday.

 

[kingslug]

Looks like they blew a lot since yesterday.

Looks like they blew a lot since yesterday.

Nice.. i am planning to get up there to stretch the legs tomorrow. Looks like reservations are still available and I heard form friends Killington has been super quiet. So maybe a sign of what this early season may look like? Will be nice to get back on the snow after this longer than usual hiatus.

Upper guns back on at Hunter.. At least on the north side..

Just saw this “Ski Guideline”from the NY governor’s website (https://www.governor.ny.gov/sites/g...ms/files/Ski_Facilities_Master_Guidelines.pdf)

“Limiting daily ticket/day pass sales to no more than 75% of the historical/average sales for those high-volume days”

That’s not much of reduction.

I wonder what’s the capacity limit of Vermont and New Hampshire?

 

[kingslug]

Going to go up beginning of december..give them a chance to open a little more. Rain on Thursday ( of course)..but much colder next week. I used to start there as soon as they opened. It would be about half way down then walk over to the F lift.

I thought it was 50% capacity.

I thought it was 50% capacity.

I wish it's 50%.

 

[cdskier]

I thought it was 50% capacity.

In NY it is 50% for the indoor capacity at ski resorts in the lodges...but overall number of people on the mountain can be running at 75% like abc said.
