More than 200 guns on the hill now and we're opening for the season at 9 a.m. on Wednesday with the K-1 Gondola and the Northridge Triple. More lifts and terrain will open heading into the weekend as conditions permit.
:grin:

Awesome.

Thanks for the update Tom.

$65 day tickets I assume?

My stuff is at my buddy's condo at SR where I'm headed this weekend or I'd seriously think about bailing on work tomorrow.

First to Open and stay open for the season it's looking like!

SR:

"Sunday River is closed for the time being, but making snow and looking forward to a possible opening this Thursday! Part of $14 million in capital improvements, Sunday River's upgraded snowmaking system is working round the clock to make snow. Check back here for the latest opening and terrain updates."

MS:

Still shooting for this weekend. Looks like most of their snowmaking has come to a hault. http://mountsnow.com/livecamshot.html


SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!

Jersey yo!!
Yeah baby!!!!

Is the beast rearing it's head again? Is this the beginning of the new (old) Killington? Could it be? Could Powdr restore the Beast of the East to her former glory?

Sure looks like they're heading in the right direction. Great job K (and Tom).

WooHoo.............

Nope, Mount Snow is just moving on to some other terrain right now. Carinthia is still lit up at the moment. You know it takes a bit of time to blow enough snow for a LARGE, FULL LENGTH park/parks on opening day ;)

Kudos for K for doing the politically correct thing and showing opening flexibility this year!
