How many days will you get in Nov?

[awf170]

I'm with River

So does this mean that both of you will be at Cannon the first 6 inch dump they get? Or is River too cool now with his Jay Peak pass and all.:razz: :wink:

 

[thebigo]

I would guess 5 - 8 depending on weather, but im still holding out hope for october.

i go where the pow is. for what it is worth, i spend more time hiking cannon mountain during the non-snowy months and it still is a mountain i love dearly. all things being equal (that includes powder), i would choose cannon over jay. but things are not equal as last season and many other seasons have suggested. all that said, if cannon gets 6 and jay gets 6, i would probably be heading to cannon. besides, it is closer.

Not to mention, its put out the last 2 years for early season turns (for me at least)...

I'm hopeful they'll be snow and maybe sneak a day in at Wachusett after Thanksgiving. Daughter and I are both dying to christen our new skis.

 

[Greg]

Depends on the openings, but 2-3 is a good possibility. At least one to Jiminy and maybe an early season day trip to Killington. In the unlikely event that Sundown opens before December, I'm there too.

 

[shwilly]

How far south?

Central SC.

 

[Terry]

probably 3 or 4. Depends on a lot of variables, including the weather. :beer:

 

[Zindar]

I was wondering when season starts around here. So it sounds like Wachusett and Mt Snow have a good shot at being open on Thanksgiving weekend (or sooner??).

I live 20 minutes from Wachusett and 2 hours from Mt Snow.
I will be hitting both as soon as they open, mostly Mt Snow on weekends and a few weekday just for kicks at Washusett.

I just moved up here from Georgia this summer. We did some trips to Snowshoe in WV and one to Park City. But now we have season passes and bought gear so I want to get our moneys worth!!

 

[zook]

I'm shooting for 4 if weather cooperates.

I'll try to hit Killington or Okemo on Thanksgiving day, and then I'm heading to Bartlett, NH for the weekend with bunch of friends. We did the same thing last year, and skied Bretton Woods and Attitash. I'm really sorry I missed Cannon, but I don't think I was ready for it yet. Maybe this year...

Plus the first day anything opens mid-November within 3-4 hours drive of NYC

 

[Grassi21]

I'm hoping for 2. I have back to back trips to Chicago and Paris in late November so it might be tough. I thinking a day at K-Mart, Jiminy, and if the weather works out Catamount.

 

[bvibert]

In the unlikely event that Sundown opens before December, I'm there too.

When I talked to Sundown's operations manager the other night he told me they always shoot for the day after turkey day. So if the weather cooperates it's a possibility.

zero, zilch, nada..... Been working at a place where Nov and Dec are the busiest months. We usually get some flex time after the first of the year. Kinda lousy, but I make due with what I get.

 

[JimG.]

6-8 depending on how much cold/snow we get.

You're killing me, this thread is just ruining my productivity.

You need to later your viewpoint slightly...I'm going to be more productive today so I CAN ski 6-8 days in November.

 

[danpop]

3 days @ Killington for Thanksgiving.

Even if I get more stuff done at work, my other boss has me working the weekend. :wink:

It usually takes me the whole month to get the place winterize. I got too many oaks in the yard, last leaves drop by late Nov.

Bro, I hear you on that!

My house is carved into woods too...every leaf in my town is on my lawn. Most leaves (95%) are down by the first week of November. The leaves in my area are a little over half down. Just removed those this past weekend. What a chore! The good thing is that once gone, they don't come back until Spring. And the 5% that I don't remove the first week of November stay on my lawn, no harm done.
