10/11 season closings

[hammer]

Maybe we should change the title to "10/11 season closings...not yet"

I hate this thread.

Gunstock is closed for the day today due to weather. They will be open tomorrow but now it is decision time, to head up tonight or not, that is the question.

Enjoyed the conditions at Gunstock Wednesday Thursday.

I'm in a much better mood now. I just went and checked the Camelback web cam expecting to see total carnage because every model pointed to the Pocono's getting jackpotted with qpf amounts. It looks like the base survived suprisingly well. With the forecast this weekend could be spring blowout fun.

Even better was reading Powderfreaks and Jspin's reports out of Northern Vermont on Americanwx. Alot of snow in dem hills.

Maybe just a temporary ban until the season actually ends. If the OP assumes it's imminent he should have no problem with it.

Even if the Kmart was closing for the season tomorrow I'd never want own this thread. :smile:

Sounds like the Catskills were primo yesterday afternoon.

i was in manchester nh last week for work and was driving home on 495. i had my shit in the car and almost took exit 32 to try the place out for an hour or so. I wish i knew about those, would've done it in a heartbeat.

I've been skiing on those bumps since early feb. They only let those bumps form if there's enuf natural snow. Kind of short and fun. Midweek lift is a bargain. Damn, I would have posted somthing with pics but I misplace the dig camera.

I heard wachusett has two bump trails, one of the guys over at mogul site said that the bump formation is decent. Thinking about trying them out mon or tues.

The bumps at Belleayre (specifically Onteora from mid down, and belleayre run) were nice and soft after about 1pm. Anything that hadn't been groomed was frozen solid until then.

I was out there this morning. There are still bumps on Hitchcock, but the usual run on Tenth has been mowed flat. Don't know if they are planning to re-seed it or not this season. A patroller told me they are pushing a lot of snow uphill each night to keep the coverage good, so they may be done with the bumps up there. He said they're going for April 3rd as a closing date. Not sure if their base will hold out that long, but it still looked pretty good this morning.

I skied Big Bear in the Poconos yesterday and the base was very good so hopefully a couple or few more weeks out of the Poconos. Mountain Creek will be open this week from 10AM - 7PM on South peak, that's a good thing because I still have 2 days to use on my Triple Play cards. Looking forward to Tuesday and Thursday there.

Hidden Valley in Jersey closed after 3/6 but it seems they were a little stingy with the snowmaking this year. I skied there on 3/5 and the base was so thin with bare spots I knew that weekend was it.

Kingfield(ME)'s temps will be good all week. Figure in the ~10F difference from downtown Kingfield to even SL's base and it's still looking pretty good. NCP day(s) should bring snow to SL(fingers crossed).:smile:

Belleayre had plenty of base left today. The woods were actually in really good shape and had some of the best snow (firm with a 1/2 inch of fluff on the top but not the deragatory dust on crust type).

I cannot participate in such a morbid discussion. this is probably one of the most obscene threads this year. Now excuse me while I go ski.

p.s., the dude above is in denial and refuses help.

Sugarbush will be selling a spring pass this week for200 dollars so I don't think their planning on closing for months,if I was closer I buy it for sure

Blue Hills is closed for the season.

Sorry to break the bad news to you.

Looks like Granite Gorge in NH is done for the season. Thunder Ridge in NY too.

Nashoba is now closed for the week...may open this weekend but somehow I doubt it.

Still places to go to in Southern NH though.

So far it looks like the usual places are closing up at this point...

 

[goldsbar]

Weak closings for NH & NY - the Poconos are still open. I did Google a couple of places in NC just for fun and they closed last weekend.

it is raining and depressing here in S NE so to share the misery :
and so it begins -

The South Central PA Mountains (Liberty, Rountop and Whitetail) called it quites last weekend. The last 2 rain event's really melted the snow at Liberty and Whitetail. Roundtop still had decent coverage on the slopes, but all of the rain really ate away at the base at the bottom of the slopes.

All 3 mountains had a good year they opened 12/10 and closed 3/12 giving them a solid 3 month season. That isn't too bad considering we average less than 2 feet of snow.

Rumor has it that Ski Sundown is closing on Sunday.
