Too much warm air. Maybe the wind will come out of the north and someone will open, butt it's only Septober. :oops:

A small mountain and a bunny hill with a Magic carpet are the official winner. Hope its nearly free cause $50 is a little steep for a bunny fun time. They say call for early pricing


If Colorado can pull in anywhere near a foot of snow on the mountain tops this week and weekend plus full snow making they will be open partially in 2 weeks.

Would a temporary opening count? I can't imagine they will be able to remain open while once A Basin opens they should be able to remain open. I'll let others be the judge.

Mean while I got on the snow last Saturday in the swamp.

First time I've seen a decent line of moguls in there and according to facebook they plan on keeping or refreshing them regularly. Changes the dynamic for indoors.

you may have just convinced me to go skiing 10 miles from my apartment this weekend
The indoor "Big Snow" is at American Dream Mall in Rutherford NJ. It is 28f and real man-made snow : ) Cost is ($39.99-$49.99) for 2 hours depending on if you book it in as little as a day in advance for the 39.99 even a few same day 39.99 bookings are available.

Looking at the live webcams you could lap the lift in the Daytime as fast as possible almost. The Live webcam runs in the middle of the page from the web link click the play button.

Do the cannabis smokers light up on the chair at indoor skiing areas too? What about the boozers, do they throw their Bud Light cans off the chair indoors too?

Hmmm... Lets hope not across the board. It's not Killington. Don't think those kinds of things are allowed in that neck of the woods.
