I'll make some mainline turns for you. I'll be at K early next week but wouldn't think of going near there over Thanksgiving

Huntah blowing top to bottom!
Thankfully it looks like I can skip going to K this week to start my season.
I think either Hunter or Belle will be open t2b by Wednesday.

A little fun at the home area Camelback, PA yesterday. A preseason get together thrown for season pass holders with the bar open and a bon fire of symbolic skis (which we were allowed to sign with messages) to Ullr. Funny thing is the timing was perfect and it worked as it was 65, beautiful deck drinking weather before the ceremony and they got about 3 -inches over night.:grin: Today on the web cam it looks much different and they could be seen moving fan guns into place. Snow making starts tonight.

Bretton Woods looks to open tomorrow. I wonder which 6 trails they are blowing on?
Be nice to have multiple options instead of just Rangeview for my day up there on Wednesday this week.
[h=2]SNOW REPORTER'S COMMENTS[/h][FONT="]Woohoo!!! The 2016-17 Ski Season is almost here. Last night we got blanketed with about 3 inches of new snow. We had our guns up and running all night on 6 Trails and will keep them cranked as long as conditions allow. As long as base temperatures stay cold enough we are aiming to open tomorrow, November 22.[/FONT]

Web cam this morning looks promising, but the forecast isn't great.
Don't see any guns on up top thought...
Wonder if they will make it by Friday!
I said NNE - northern new england! Who cares about the Catskills?!?!?!
Just kidding, that's where I'm from originally. Glad that you guys will be able to enjoy some early season turns!

looks like they will have 3 ways down off of 2 lifts To see which trails they are blowing on: http://brettonwoods.com/alpine_trails/trail_report#top
I'm guessing that six trails equals range view, the other wide flat trail off the bethleham quad and maybe that fun little skinny trail to the skiers right of said trail.
Edit my guess was close but Replace skinny trail with cruiser trail off range view....so you got options

Mount Snow got between 6 and 12"+ depending on the elevation, and overnight they were able to increase the number of guns running from just over 130 to just under 170!!!
Opening day Thursday is now pretty much a given!
It's really three trails: Ben (which they have three different names for but is really just one trail), Range View, and Crawford's Blaze, plus a learner's trail. I think these are typically the trails they open first.
Anyway, woohoo is right! I'm very tempted to use a sick day tomorrow...
