K-Mart Blowing Snow Tonight?

[Zand]

Some of the people over at K-Chat are reporting snow being blown on Cascade. It's likely that pre-season snow they blow every year, but it's nice to get this before Columbus Day if its true.

This is usually the time they get a few people out to make a few photo-turns. :wink:

Still, you're right. Good to see things starting up.

 

[Greg]

Yup. I would keep an eye out for marketing-type pics tomorrow. Don't expect the mountain to be open to the general public anytime soon though...

 

[bvibert]

Well I guess pictures of somebody skiing in NE already is better than nothing

 

[TeleGrrrl]

Yeah, especially since they've been already been skiing in the Rockies

I'm about to head up onto the mountain to inspect the "product"
that Killington snowmakers laid down last night in a test of the
most extensive snowmaking system in North America.

Cascade was the lucky trail and while we'll be open for skiing
and riding in November, I can't help but get really excited. Can
you?

This weekend is a great time to come up and take a look at their
handiwork from Snowshed Base Lodge while enjoying a tasty brew
at the 9th annual Killington Brewfest.

Told ya. Look for an RSN cam pic later this morning, I'd bet. Keep an eye on our Vermont Webcams page

I found these pics of the patch over on KChat:

Looks pretty small...

 

[bvibert]

Yeah, that does look a bit small... :blink:

 

[Greg]

Killington.com put up some pics.

 

[severine]

You called that one, Greg! It sure looks like one real small patch of snow, though...

 

[ChileMass]

Channel 7 in Boston showed the guns running and then showed 3 people (likely Killington staffers) skiing down a muddy, rocky trail with a couple of inches of white on it. They were actually making turns, but I hope they were using their old skis......

 

[bvibert]

Maybe they borrowed some of the rental gear to make the first turns with :lol:
