I'm going to assume this will be the first Wednesday they will be open. I will be there! I expect my arrival to be around 7 pm. I'll take a few runs and head for the sun deck for the 8 pm top of the hour meet-up.

i'd be shocked. giddy as a schoolgirl, but shocked nonetheless.

no worries. there are plenty of wednesdays to meet up. Wife and kids are out of town sunday night so i might as well take advantage without using a "chip" that could better spent down the road.

I should be able to stay until 8pm next week as we are not moving into our new house until the following weekend. It's only a 45 minute drive to Enfield, so it should not be a problem.

Any idea as to what will be opened by next week?

They usually open with most of the mountain expect for Gunbarrel. There may also be some of the greens that wrap around the back that aren't open yet, but I don't usually pay attention to that terrain.

NOAA is forecasting rain for the 13th, how lovely:uzi: :flame: :angry:

Next week looks warm and not good for snowmaking. I was in Skimart in South
Windsor last night getting replacement batteries for my foot warmers and it was apparent that they where suffering with this warm weather as the store was stocked full of clothing and gear with very few customers. Alot of the customers could be overheard complaining about the lack of snow/skiing.
