Webcam shows the rain letting up and coverage looks good still. With 30 hours of snowmaking, it should be good. Lets hope they let the water drain out of it before they groom!

Hopefully picking up new gear on Friday, so I might not be at Hunter until Sat.

Bit of a thread hijack - I might have to take back part of my comment on Belleayre about them being really slow to open compared to Hunter. If their website is correct, they're actually scheduled to have a few trails top-to-bottom (sort of) on opening day.

That looks to be true but NY state finances Bell snow making.

Does bell make money or lose money? If they make 1 dollar and im guessing they do, then the people of NY are not financing anything.

Burning a vacation day tomorrow... with this weather does it make sense for me to try and get up to Hunter for my first day of the season for any folks that have been out recently?
