Colder weather is good news, but let's not get overly excited about snowmaking. The snowmaking this time of year is going to be extremely limited.

At Killington only! May 6th and 7th is the first weekend in May and rarely are any others open in New England. Maybe Jay Peak. Oh and hike to ski at Tucks.
Sugarbush has been open into May the past 4 seasons. Not saying they will be this year, but being open in May is sort of an unofficial yearly goal of theirs. Of course this year that could simply mean opening for a final day on Monday May 1 if weather cooperates. May 6/7 might be a bit late for them.
Not at the Loaf....Plans to blow this weekend. US Alpine Championships coming later in the month will insure they bury Gauge, and then they will do more if they need to make it to Reggae in April...Snowmaking is far from over!!
The Loaf will make it...Only one year in recent memory that they didn't make it.

Storm coming..predicting a few inches, maybe it will amount to something.

Well it looks like there is a snow train headed towards New England. Looking at the forecasts, there seem to be 3-4 events in the the next couple weeks where 3-5 inch snow systems come in which will be great to touch up surfaces.

This would be nice, with most of it falling in a 5 to 6 day window which makes it somewhat believable. The week before we head to Steamboat no less. Models have been moving it in/out so i guess it depends on which side of eenee meenee miney mo we end up on.

Let's hope they're not coastal storms. Some real snow next week ahead of next weekend would be wonderful.
We need much more than just touching up surfaces. We need that big storm next week to hit interior New England to get us back on track.

Totally wrong.Depends which mt.A lot have just used it as window dressing.With these unusually low temps they cam make snow as efficient and deep as any time during the winter.I was amazed at how much snow Cannon made last week.20-30 ft high whales everywhere.And they are back at it again today for this real cold stretch.
