I'm a bit worried about the possible NCP on Friday, but hopefully the coastal will stay far enough south.

What's the best route from Killington to Jiminy? Looks like rt. 7 goes straight to it?

We are on track for a Friday opening! We made great progress in
snowmaking efforts from top to bottom last night and the temps look
phenomenal for tonight so we are looking forward to dumping a whole lot
of snow on the mountain tonight. Of course opening is still weather
permitting and all that but we are very optimistic and all systems are
go right now, we'll keep you up to date!

Got Snow? We Do!
Well you guys know as well as we do that good ol’ Mother Nature has not been cooperating with us snow lovers lately! But she is cooperating now and our state of the art snowmaking system is cranking and we’ll continue making snow every second that the weather permits. Friday, November 24th is set for opening day, weather and conditions permitting. 7 interconnected trails, including West Way, North Glade, Lower Glade, Upper Slingshot, 360, 180 and Cricket and 3 lifts, including the Novice and Cricket Triples and the High Speed Berkshire Express are scheduled for operation. We will operate 9 am – 4 pm each day this weekend and then close midweek to continue snowmaking efforts. Lift ticket prices will be $35 for a full day and $30 for a 4-hour pass, and all Jiminy Peak season pass types will be honored this weekend. Keep checking jiminypeak.com (which by the way has a brand new look if you haven’t checked it out yet!) and our snow phone at 888-4-JIMINY for updates – be sure to call before you travel. Are you ready to get out on the hill? So are we!

We are still hoping for Friday but the weather permitting part is coming
in to play a bit more right now.

I was a little concerned so I Emailed the mountain. Part of the response:



They hope to know more tomorrow pm. If Jiminy doesn't make it for Saturday, Hunter is my next option. If that falls through too, I'm off to Mount Snow which after the Chute clarification actually looks pretty attractive. I will be skiing somewhere on Saturday.

We may be leaning towards Snow. Nothing definite yet. You can probably swing that Zee, right?

Greg said:

Because I'm a wishy washy mentalcase we decided to change venues again. :blink: Jiminy is not 100% on their opening; while Mount Snow is so we're going to aim for Mount Snow this Saturday. So far it's
