I was thinking about Jiminy for this day but it looks like they're not going to reopen until 12/9. So...anyone interested in a little warm-up for the 12/15 gathering on Friday, 12/8?

What's the outlook on this Friday? I feel so detached being out of the country. I want to make some turns on Friday. I was hoping to meet some AZes in the process.
I expect a fair amount of snowmaking to take place this week. They will be closed until Wednesday which should give them some time to really prep the surface. I expect a couple top-to-bottom runs, but they basically had to start over this weekend after the deluge on Friday. Keep an eye here for up to the minute info:

Was hanging with a friend who works at the hill... He was EXTREMELY optimistic that there will be a lot of terrain open by Friday...
His comment was "it's so much easier to make and maintain snow when we don't have to open"..
Friday should ROCK! Thursday I'll be out and give a report...
Best thing is mountain creek and some pocono resorts are opening which thins the amount of people out...
I'll be on the hill tomorrow through Sunday.. Got next Friday off too...
By how good Snow was yesterday and how much snow Hunter can lay down in just a few days.... I am sure its going to be sweet!!
but we'll find each other if I can't make 930...
