Both mtns are impressive for their size in terms of snowmaking. Pre-Thanksgiving turns in Southern NH is a great thing.

They want to announce Pluto's will be open and are waiting on it. They started on it the other night.

All things considered, certainly Pat's or CM should be competing for first-to-open in Southern NH. Both however, were scooped by Granite Gorge who opened last weekend.
They don't have enough there yet, but they might be able to make it happen. Crotched has some crazzzzy snowmaking capacity. If I were king, I'd blow as much as physically possible until Saturday morning. Get every drop possible out of that pond before the rains come and (hopefully) fill it back up.

Going to a decent amount of rain Sunday night. It looks like it needs a lot more but with that system they can definitely do it. Questions are how much water do they have and how much base will they have after half an inch of rain and 50-55 degree temps?

I will take a few runs Saturday afternoon at Pat's. I have to go and get the passes anyway.
Oops, I missed Granite.
At least Crotched is being open about their plans.
"After a week of perfect snowmaking temperatures, we now have a mountain’s worth of large snow piles "whales" and a 20 million gallon snowmaking pond that could use some more H2O! It just so happens rain and warmer temps are expected Sunday through the beginning of next week. The plan is to keep the snow in piles, in doing so our product will remain preserved and protected from inclement weather."

A couple of interesting changes to CM's trails per their conditions page:
1. About five years ago, the Valley Chair Liftline, Magnitude, was renamed, "The Park"
2. A few years ago, it became Upper Park and Lower Park.
3. This year, Upper Park was renamed "Magnitude"
4. NCC-1701 was re-categorized as a park.
At least one off-the-trail map glade was added this summer.

Not as impressive as Wachusett who destroys them all. They have the ability to get trails online overnight.

Which one? I'm looking at CM's trail map online now and I don;t recognize any new ones. Unless they haven;t updated their map yet?

I hope it is not in the right section of the trail map...the boarders can keep their snake runs on the left side.
Doubt it's the dumb snake runs. Too much potential for people getting lost heading out towards Crotched East. Doubt it's the West Ledge, too much potential for people getting hurt.
If I had to guess, it's UFO area. It's right there in plain sight and would be easy to maintain.
