What the hell. Maybe this is bad mojo, but I don't believe in that crap anyway.

This year promises to be more of a challenge given the economy, operators said. Ski Sundown in New Hartford, which is expected to open Nov. 28 depending on the weather, has been selling season passes and other programs at a rate equal to, if not above, last year, said Dotty Craig, marketing director.

I doubt I'll make it over during the day, but I probably will be able to score a few hours at night if they open. Anyone else down?

I miss you, Tim. I think I have Saturday off...unless something changes. Let's hang out. It'll be like old times! Gahaha

Err...yeah, if it's open we'll be there, possible nephews in tow.

Starting Monday night, they have snowmaking temps every night through the 7-day. Not sure if they would go for it, but I think they could open this Saturday if they wanted to.

looks like the 28th has a really good chance for an opening. very psyched for ski season.

i showed my son a vid brian made at sundown when we were braking in the new bumps on NE. the kid was literally wriggling out of my arms and trying to dive into the screen on the macbook. until mr evil came on and then he lost interest... ;-)

Oh man - check it out:

I see a solid 12+ hours of snowmaking every day in the 7 day forecast starting tomorrow night. I've seen the mountain open Stinger, Canyon, Nor'easter, Temptor, Ex and Little Joe after 60 hours of snowmaking. I wonder if they'll take a run at opening this weekend. I might be down for Saturday or Sunday night if they do....

Sunday night!

If they're open, that is.

if i want to ski at all this season, i wouldn't dare to ask the wife if i could pull that off.

I'd be REALLY surprised if they went for this weekend. If they did I don't imagine they'd shoot to be open mid-week next week, which means a likely afternoon closing on Sunday...

Then again what do I know...

I agree with everything you said, especially the last part.

anything is possible!! A Thanksgiving weekend opening looks very attainable at the very least!
