First?

Night time temps at Stowe look promising.

 

[deadheadskier]

Snow production has good up high, but they had guns going to where the chair crosses overhead and they produced absolutely nothing. Temps have been marginal and wet bulb has not been cooperating.

I wonder if high diesel prices have impacted their forecast with how aggressive they want to be to blow to the bottom between now and next weekend.

i am not how that impacts them. Their pumps are powered electricity.

He likely means the compressors, but as far as I know they are ancient Joy electric compressors. The only hill I know of that still have diesel pumps is Wildcat - their boosters are because they can't get 3PH up the hill.

I think Cannon has upgraded their in the main pump house and they have the brand new pump house near Goat path entrance or exit. I can tell the difference with that run.

Hill looked nice bathed in white last night as I drove by.
SR was very good yesterday, even after the warm opening day Thursday. Just read, they are officially TTB today on the Punches. Cascade has good initial cover and they are working that, Ecstacy looked close yesterday so guessing by full open to day tickets tomorrow, Barker Quad likely in play. Not sure how close RS is, may be in play tomorrow too depending on production last night and today/night.

Do they typically work on spruce or south ridge after Locke and barker are done?

It is very thin though. It was snowing on and off all day yesterday. Guns are lit up top again and on mid Cannon as far as I can see.

Bromley (and Stratton in background) making progress, at least top half.

 

[Granite1]

Cannon shows Dec 3rd as opening day now...

Mount Sunapee announces opening day Wednesday, 11-24-21. They can open but Cannon can't?

Spruce will be next, first just lower half of Risky to tie in Lazy to Tourist Trap. Rumors of guns on Amex yesterday, didn't notice that myself. I'd be shocked a bit, they usually hit Upper Risky next as it's just half a trail to open Spruce Triple. After Spruce opens, they usually try for Lower Lazy and Broadway in South Ridge and Easy Street to complete the Barker Link.

I know, could still see the grass through it. Just did look nice, close to wishing I had changed over to my snow's in the notch too.

Did look like upper risky that they were blowing snow on.
There were some pileups on a couple of choke points on lower sunday punch. scrapped off messes just before a few of the choke points.

Not too sure about them getting open by the 24th.

 

[deadheadskier]

Sugarloaf opening tomorrow. Some question why bother opening on a Monday. I think it's a smart move. Let people ski on it a few days before the holiday weekend. Seems to help cut down death cookies etc. So, the surface will be better for the masses.

 

[NYDB]

Stratton pushed back opening date to 11/27

Not surprised they'll miss the 24th, but would have thought Friday? But maybe they want extra time to drain......

[Dickc]

That is OK, my priorities are a bit different on skiing now that I've had 4 back surgeries in 5 years. I'll wait for some decent snow and more than a WROD to venture out.

 

[ERJ-145CA]

Belleayre is planning to open 11/26 and I plan to be there.
