What happens if you postpone it and it is all snow instead of rain? You'll really feel dumb then

Not the first time.
i would definately at least hold out to the last minute, weather forecasts are only accurate a day or two in advance. since this morning the forecast has become more favorable, just not on the noaa site...
for example(don't forget to click on imperial msmts):
http://www.snow-forecast.com/resorts/Killington/6day/top
very little ncp in that forecast!

I would wait until Tuesday to see if the weather changes...If not the 21st works for me.

I vote for the 21st...at Snow. 
Early season skiing seems hardly worth it if you're going to drive all that distance to ski in the rain. Just MHO, though.

i agree. easy for me to swap the 14th for the 21st. but the jones is hitting pretty hard these days...

The forecast got a little better:
Still rain for Thursday night and Friday at 3132', but we're going in the right direction at least.
This looks better yet.

if there is rain im going to bag it i would rather my fist day not be a rain. i do think if we pushed it to the 21st we would have better conditions.
Looks like Friday is going to be pretty wet. I say we push it to the 21st.
I vote we move it to the 21st and also back to Snow.
Although K will have a ton more open then snow.....Depends on if you want to drive for more trails.

All right. The 21st it is. I'm open to either Snow or Killington. If Killington has significantly more advanced terrain (I would bet they will given the additional snowmaking), I'm still down with K-mart.

Totally. And even if Chute is open, but Killington has a few advanced runs to choose from, I'll be driving the extra hour. I'm going to plan on Killington for now.
i'm on board with that. My guess is that killington will have downdraft headwall, mousetrap and highline open at the least. DD headwall and mousetrap are kinda short but highline has provided nice early season bumps past years. kinda a funky double fall line trail at the top and fairly steep.

yea next weeks weather looks good...K should be able to blow a lot of snow and coupled with some natural snow should be the best show around
