You left off Crystal mountain. Wolf is only opening this weekend for now.

You're right. I went off of unofficialnetworks and forget they opened for a day, I was hoping this could help out people plan though, but it won't since they were only open 1 day

The places in Utah won't open until the weekend before Thanksgiving...unless we get a big dump before then. But I love it how Snowbird stays open so late. My kind of place

I imagine that when the weather gets cold Sunday River and Killington will be going head-to-head again. Nice.

Good to see that Killington is back in the game again. That is a good thing for northeast skiing. Pres would be smiling.

What will the humidity be? That's key with snowmaking.

I can totally see K or SR opening this weekend based on the forecast. If they do ... well that would be great but suck for me since my son is trying out for a college lacrosse team next weekend. The good thing is hopefully by the following weekend - I may not have to hike my ass up those stairs!

It is so close!

The question I wonder is if they open, will it be open to the general public or limited to pass or card holders? :???:
