[hammer]

Does anyone have any info on what different ski areas are advertising as their "planned" opening day? Here are a few dates that I've seen so far:

Tenney: Dec 10
Waterville: Nov 20
Wachusett: Nov. 26

Pat's Peak is December 4th (weather permitting).
I imagine that Burke will be about the same time.
Jay will make snow after "three consecutive days below freezing."

The season is coming...

December 11th for Burke

I've heard Killington wants November 1st, but that may be a dream.
Ski Ward wants November 25th, but there's no way they'll open before Wawa.
I think I heard November 24th for Loon.

I've heard Killington wants November 1st, but that may be a dream.

I wouldn't expect Killington to open on a Monday. Look for Thursday or Friday of that week...

 

[Zand]

Well, they did last year...

 

[Greg]

Well, they did last year...

Ski Ward wants November 25th, but there's no way they'll open before Wawa.

This is totally possible, it's only a day's difference and it doesn't take as long to cover a trail top to bottom at Ski Ward. The two areas are in close proximity so if it's cold enough to make snow at one place it will be at the other.

Pine Ridge is aiming for Mid-December.

Loon is Nov 24 day before Thanksgiving. Went to the October fest there this weeknd that's the date they were advertising.( Bretton Woods Nov 13, Waterville Nov 20 Sunday River Nov 12 Sugarloaf Nov 19). All from web site info. Hopefully Killington Soon. I can't wait.

I recognize that this is outside the scope of AZ's raison d'etre, but nonetheless it's on topic: the North American season kicks off tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow. The story is here on FTO (I didn't submit it to AZ's news forum because it's out west).
