Hit Crotched this past Saturday after they got a little bit of fresh snow. It made all the difference compared to last weekend. By noon all the new stuff was along the sides of Satellite and Meteor in 4-6" piles and was great to say the least. I've been trying to get the GF to start doing more short jump type turns (she started last year and we are heading to Jay next month) and it made for a great learning experience. The snow making pond has come up a lot since the previous weekend so they should be blowing soon, it is still very low compared to previous years. Looking at the cam yesterday it looks like they started blowing on the upper section of Pluto's and UFO so some bumps should be coming soon.

They were able to blow enough to get Pluto's open for the weekend according to their Facebook page. Hopefully we can get a foot from the weekend storm!

Oh I'm excited. Booked a room in Jaffrey so we didn't have to drive back and forth both days. Between the blow over/back from the guns and 6"+ of snow the trees should be in play.

Was there for a few hours tonight and conditions are great for mid December. Pluto's was opened today and was very nice. They are blowing snow and have huge whales on Jupiter's Storm, NCC 1701, and Lower Park. These should open soon. Sorry Tin, they have not blown any snow on UFO/Equinox, but with a foot of new snow, everything that is open will be bumped up on Sunday. Good luck with the trees, it looked VERY thin in there tonight.

Their FB status mentioned Jupiter opening today. Hopefully the old bar line got some coverage from it. Thanks for the update
Hitting the road asap.
