Sugarbush seems to still be holding out hope of opening this weekend (although if I was a betting man I say they end up pushing it back):

Status update for Wed, Nov 16

Snowmaking has begun and continues when the temps allow. We're in the middle of a warm spell now, but next week looks very wintery, with snow in the forecast Sunday-Friday. Check our summit webcam for the freshest natural snow updates.

Our projected Opening Day at Lincoln Peak is Saturday, November 19th, capped off with Big Kicker season kickoff party that evening at Lareau Farm with our neighbors Mad River Glen. Check back on Thursday, November 17th for updates.

I'm hoping to kick off the season Saturday at Mt. Snow. I want to start to flex that peaks pass!

This Saturday the 19th? Not a chance they'll be open with the current forecast

Next Saturday the 26th - 99.99% chance they'll be open

Typically takes them about 72hrs to get enough down all the way down to the base to get open in typical November temps - looks like that window they need will arrive sometime on Sunday this weekend

Email just received from Mt. Snow stated Thanksgiving Day opening.

And now Sugarbush has made it official:

We are changing our Opening Day. Here is a note from Win:

The warm temperatures of the past few days and the forecast through the weekend will not allow us to open as planned on Saturday. However, it is turning colder late Sunday, with snow in the forecast. The snow we have made on the upper mountain, in combination with new snowmaking, should allow us to open on Wednesday, November 23rd at Lincoln Peak. We anticipate skiing on Upper Jester, Downspout, and Upper Organgrinder, with downloading on the Super Bravo lift. As temperatures permit, we will strive to open top-to-bottom as soon as possible.

Who'd have thought we'd end up having a November even worse than last year's epic disaster of a November??

Am I wrong to be encouraged by the Jay forecast?

Yea...a slow November doesn't bother me too much as I have plenty of other things to catch up on and get done before skiing starts anyway. As long as it gets cold and stays cold soon so I can be skiing in December, I'll be happy.

Made the news with 2 of my kids while skiing BW Sunday...

Sunday River opening day announced to be November 23rd (Wednesday) if not earlier. They've waited a long time to announce any dates, so they must feel pretty confident!

First I heard of this kind of snow.Jay Peak website: Saturday’s temps will be in the mid-30s until nightfall when freezing temps will take over. Then it’s snow-time; anywhere from 10” to 18” could accumulate between Sunday and late Tuesday. Keep an eye out as we will be updating this as more info comes in.

Rumor has it Hunter will open either Wed or Friday. I know they will be open next weekend, since I will be at K for the world cup.
