There is some soft snow on top of Bumps and extreme edges, troughs are fairly faced and hard but edgeable. We had some rain last Sunday and the initial snow last Thurs was wet and has cured pretty firm. The groomers are much better at Mellon, many of the trails at South are “curing” and have not...

I live in the Valley and Verizon is the way to go for cell and data. Had AT&T and you can live with it sporadically but Verizon works well on the mountain, in town and up in East Warren. biggest dead spot is on the lower 300 yards of West Hill Road

Does anyone have an update on when northridge will fire up

The last two days of warm weather, mist and rain has eaten into the trail layer pretty severely. In quite a few spots we are down to the last few inches of boiler plate and some brown and dirt spots showing. I was pretty surprised how much we lost between yesterday and today vs Monday. The...

They were running Bravo on the diesel for several hours yesterday, I did not notice any Bravo lift activity today. They were blowing snow above the Valley house today. So hope its a false rumor

John thanks for the update, considering the unusual warm weather your team has had some pretty significant challenges and I think that it is great that you will be open before Thanksgiving. How did the snow making pond Dam and inflation bladder work out- how are we doing with water? Looking...

I skied BD yesterday, top is a mine field but bottom 80 percent is skiable. FIS is not skiable and a windblown rock garden- ugly. The skiers right of FIS relies on natural and blown in snow. The upper 10% middle of the run is always porcelain except for early and late season. From the 1970’s up...

Win thank you for jumping back in and providing input and your local knowledge to this forum. Your stewardship is missed, and We all hope that you can use your influence to try to get someone on the current management team to be more transparent and open with the community. I know John H, and he...

The email went out at 1700 yesterday and their website still notes that they may open. You would think that they would make a better effort to provide current information. The current management has no ability to provide a stoke for the upcoming season and has no ability to communicate with...

I was riding this morning on roads, the dirt roads are getting firmer but most if not all single track trails will need a few more weeks to firm up. Its important not to trench out the trails. There are great gravel and secondary road rides with great views to enjoy. Great time of year to ride...

Shady thanks for that. Compressors are dirty and energy hogs and since we all love the outdoors the reduction of energy use is important for all of us. I make my home in the MRV and after 35 plus season passes I fully respect the efforts of the team that keeps the mountain going. Your...

I would be interested to understand how the new low energy guns output at different temp/ wet bulb temp by a measurement such as cubic feet of snow and the weight of that snow per cubic foot that is produced per gallon of water at various temperatures and if the addition of addition of air or...

I will place a vote for quality of snow making vs quantity. Its not only about the water - additional air and adding snow a little at a time instead of making a pile of ice thats needs to cure would be nice. I agree that the current system is impervious to most thaws and rain events and may be...

Exterminator used to have glades and when they installed snowmaking they cut the trees down. Niot sure about the year. Fis traditionally hosted the turkey tumble - a pretty good bump contest on thanks giving. On many years Fis had snowmaking on the slope around the ski and skate sale mid...

I hope that everyone has a great holiday. While out skiing at the end of the day yesterday I wanted to order a few beers from the pub on the app. I know that we are facing tough times and that safety is paramount but the ordering app is cumbersome at best. My entire group tried the app and in...

The mountain skied great. Edge to edge cover on everything open with good consistent edge-able product. I noticed that the snow makers were constantly adjusting guns on ripcord and all of the guns were producing snow and not slurpie glop. Noticeably absent was a wet gun or a big area of ice on...

Currently hovering around sixty and windy at about 1200’ in Valley. i just went for a run in Tshirt and shorts. Almost same temp as Florida with snow forecast in Buffalo and down to West Virginia. Go figure? I would be surprised if they open, they blew some pretty high burms above Valley house...

I was hiking yesterday around 1 pm. They blew about two inches of snow on a patch at-the base of the valley house. They had snow makers opening and closing valves on the lower mountain. Opening rumored the Monday after TG. Looks like most activity is at or above Allens lodge. Raining at low...

I drove down to Kmart this morning. They did an amazing snow making job. I skied onto the chair for 19 of my 20 runs in 4 hours and 20k vert. The minor crowd dissipated by 11. Pretty much low level intermediate but it was great to feel normal again. I hope that today was the beginning of a great...

From my house the only activity I can see is on upper organginder and jester at south and possibly elbow at North. All the trails are white but only sporadic white spots at lower elevations, it looks like 1.5/2” above 2000’ feet. Kmart opens tomorrow
