Knock on Wood, the 10 day weather report is COLD and is looking to be an awesome start for the ski season here in the Catskills. The 4 Catskill Mountain resorts have been powering up the snow guns and taking advantage of the cold nights for making snow, the ground is freezing, and most important the temperature of the the water in the snowmaking ponds will be dropping. In addition to cold air temps, the colder the water for making snow the cheaper it is to make snow.
This is looking to be one of the better starts to the ski season in recent years from what I can remember. If you haven't already, checked out some of the web cams at Hunter, Windham, and Plattekill you need to check them out. Hunter has a new live video feed cam showing the lodge looking up the mountain with snow blowing off the roof of the lodge this morning. Looks like winter. :-D
Belleayre and Hunter will be opened the day after Thanksgiving Friday Nov 29. According to Snocountry Windham will be opened Satruday Nov 30. Even one our NY City feeder ski areas Mt Peter in the southern Catskills will be opened Saturday Nov 30.
