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!!! :fangun: :snow: :daffy:

Opening day Thursday is now pretty much a given!

I stand corrected, Mount Snow just announced that they pushed opening day up from Thursday to Wednesday!

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...

Might be doing the same... Was considering K, but I have early season tix to BW that I have to burn. Additionally there's still a chance K won't be top to bottom by Tuesday, but it looks like they probably will be.

Would love if Hunter could get open by Friday... kind of stuck locally this week/weekend but definitely want to get out. If not, targeting December 2 as first day out up at Stowe, but always like getting a day in November if I can.

Seems like Hunter and Belleayre have a shot at it....

From Cannon:pretty impresive.From GM JD:Cannon peeps... 540 new HKD & SnowLogic guns means we're flowing 4,000 gallons per minute right now on Gary's, Rocket, Zoomer, Paulie's, TimeZone, Lower Cannon, and Lower Gremlin... with only one compressor running... unprecedented firepower for us at these mid-hi 20's temps
Holy crap.Could be opening with much of the front 5.

keep the faith
Jiminy Peak got 20". A little surprised they are only opening with 9 trails (I assume some upper/lower trails) considering. But they should have a very good opening Friday.

It is cool when Killington opens earlier than others, but when you go a month with that as the only option having news of others is even sweeter. We had a similar issue here.

Bromley will open this weekend, maybe on Friday. They will make the call on Wednesday as to whether its Fri or Sat.

Amazing that Jiminy picked up 20". Obviously a nice Lake-enhanced band set up for them (and Woodford VT too, which so far has the highest total I have seen - 25"!!!)

Right now its Gulch, LJ to Deer to base, Cascade to Canyon.LaunchPad

Maybe they expand tomorrow or Wed?

Hmmm, will there be lines on Wednesday? I could be convinced to make the trek.
