Rumor circulating is that there's a bank approved buyer for the auction for Snow Mtn Market, apparently now delayed from Nov 1st to Nov 15th due to the gov't shutdown and the SBA involved in this. Buyer apparently has local ties and plans on operating it as a market/convenience store.

The state of VT liquor store license that the market acquired around a year ago after the 7-11 chose not to renew it, now has been acquired by the owners of the Last Chair Restaurant and they opened up Black Diamond Liquors in a portion of the Last Chair building over Columbus Day Weekend

Based on the Webcams, and reports from friends on the ground up at the mountain the last few days, looks like, weather permitting, that opening day next Saturday, will have some difference over the standard opening day, as not only have they been making snow on the typical Cascade - Canyon route off the Summit, but also the Lodge - Exhibition route as well!

Apparently still need some hours of snowmaking down low, but up high, the mostly HKD towers have been producing some BIG whales since Monday!

I won't be on the hill until the 1st weekend of December as my wife abd I and our oldest are heading to Copenhagen, Denmark on (weather permitting) opening Day for all of Thanksgiving week who has been doing a semester abroad at the Copenhagen Business School.. Might actually get my 1st indoor skiing experience that week if my son gets his way!
