Ascutney getting in on the action

[TwinTips21]

Ascutney began cranking the snow guns some time yesterday. Really suprising coming from a mountain that rarely makes snow this early. They usually begin making snow after killington has been skiing for a few weeks. I guess the grants from the state to access more power and their purchase of 2 new generators is paying off.

That's pretty good news in my Opinion.

Normally Killington HAS been skiing for a few weeks by now...

i think 99.9% of the people who post here knew that, but for the .1% who didnt, it deserves repeating i guess. :wink:

Seems a little late and all. Are they gonna be hit with the rain? I dont get that decision. Why not last weekend?

Last weekend wasn't really cold enough. Remember Ascutney opens from mid station down (doesn't make sense) therefore they need it to get pretty cold before making some snow. I don't think they are pushing to get open but instead to lay down a base for future snowmaking operations.
