Okemo Sunday, Mt Snow and Stowe Tuesday.

I'd rather go to Mt Snow Tuesday for day 1 as they'll have Cascade/Canyon and Freefall open, which sounds much better than one trail at Okemo. However it won't be opening day at Okemo so presumably a lot less busy.

Seeing as opening day on a Tuesday probably won't be too insane, probably will do Mt Snow.

Northside double as well. And Cannon up the street will be ttb, 2k vertical. I may hit Cannon Friday if the storm produces.

Very depressing seeing this thread. I just checked the 10 day forecast for Thunder Ridge and it was endless cold temperatures and snow chances for a week straight after the next rain event. So I can only imagine things will turn around for the East coast very quickly! The coastal resorts along the entire west coast just got slammed (we're getting decent scraps) but now we will be bone dry and warming for 10+ days it looks like.
I simply dont believe weather reports anymore...and have 30 years of looking at them to prove it.

Arrived Bromley late today - mid fall at base, mid winter at summit. Nice base from 1/4 on up. I am hoping my prediction of 6-10” on the hill comes to fruition as skinning will be sweet.
My forecast was low. 12” at 5pm and still snowing. Skinning was good. Tomorrow more so.

Bromley now opening this Thursday 12/5.

Magic opening 12/7 with 20+ trails expected. Teasing westside natural openings depending on the midweek clipper.

weekends like this one present hard choices for an ikon + indy skier. jay and magic are both appealing but do i want to blow either before they are 100%...

if a clipper sat>sun refreshes magic it may be worth it...

Jack Frost opening tomorrow, first in PA!
Montage opening Friday. Haven't been there since high school. It has the "honor" of being the ski area that I've skied but have not been back to in the longest amount of time (not counting closed ski areas). Not sure what #2 is, maybe Sugarloaf? Anyway, we'll probably go to either Jack Frost or Montage for one day this weekend.

Based on the webcams Wachusett looks to have an impressive opening rollout tomorrow. Conifer and maybe 10th off the top, Challenger and Look Mom off Minuteman, Indian Summer and Sundowner off Monadnock, and Ollie's. Pretty much half the mountain.
