Check out the pic today on MountSnow.com

The caption says snowmaking at dawn, but it looks like a mid-winter pic as the trees have no leaves

Anyone know for sure?

reread the caption:

" October 10, 2006
The nights are getting colder, and the snow guns will be fired up before you know it. Get ready and get psyched "

thats just a stock photo......

Off topic. Did anyone hear that Fennessys changed it's name to Hennessys? It's an Italian restaurant now.

there are no leaves on the upper third of the mountain and it was cold enough, just barely, to make some the last few nights.

Also deacons is now deagans. New owners same stuff.

That's got to be just a stock photo.
I was up there all three days this weekend and it was 73 degrees in the shade on Monday! Didn't get colder than 40-45 degrees at night. It was warmer this weekend than the last time I was there August 18-20 when it hit 38 degrees at night and didn't go over 63degrees the entire weekend. But the cold should be on the way this weekend.

The guns at Attitash were out on the trail around Thad's Choice while I was biking there and under the Double Double lifts.
