Word on the street is K wont be opening on Friday since they have not yet sent out the RFID passes to the passholders. I have not received mine yet, no big deal as I would not be up this weekend anyway.....not sure of the truth to this yet but a large discussion on kzone about this.

True story?

What about opening just for the unwashed day ticket crowd and the hell with the passholders?
But seriously why not just hand out Day ticket RFID cards to the season pass holders?

I haven't received mine yet either. I'll be up this weekend. Doing some brewery tours but if the mountain was open I'd do a few laps.
Just speculation the people that work the phones rarely know what's going on...trust me. If they want to open they can figure it out easily enough.

Sunday River starting to make some noise on Twitter.

It certainly looks like they're going to give it a shot.

Weak attempt in my book.

Wish that would light a fire under Sneaux's behind to get something open for the weekend, but oh welllll
It's not really an "attempt" at Wildcat. Ever since the system upgrade, they've started making snow on Upper Lynx in late October. It's just stockpiling to make the process go faster when they do open. They still don't plan on opening until 11/10. Earlier than that would be a nice surprise, but I doubt it. Mid November is fine with me for Wildcat. It's making it through April that matters most.

Oct 18 guns on is not weak......
Why?
It's basically the same thing they do every year. T2 with downloading on Locke chair. They are also making snow ttb, so there's a good chance people will be able to pick their way down patch skiing to the bottom.

LOL. why is it 'weak'?
They have had snowmaking temps for what, less than 24 hours? And have already announced an opening.
SR and K will be the only places East of Colorado open this weekend.
Oh, AND IT'S OCTOBER 18th!
This will be the second earliest SR has EVER opened.
