Mount Snow 11/10-11/11....

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

I'm thinking of going to Mount Snow next weekend if they open. Do you locals think they'll be open for next weekend. The Peak resorts tower mounted guns are mad steezy. If I go there I'll probably stay in Bennington at the Econo lodge or something.

River Run will get a whitening treatment so guests can get to the North Face, where they can take the lift back to the summit. And coming straight from the Peak Resorts owner himself, there are plans to start blowing on our new Vermontster park as early as possible.

Last Wednesday I made a prediction that we'd be open by November 12. If this weather forecast holds, I'll be seeing you then.

I would honestly say nothing concrete...

He said by Nov. 12, not on Nov. 12. Sounds like they want to open on Saturday seeing the "Number of Trails Open This Weekend" section of the snow report says "hmmm....".

Well that gives me hope..I've never been to Mount Snow but I'm guessing it's 5 hours away..

Maybe we will get lucky and have them open by next weekend, maybe not. I'm not sure if they have been able to make snow since they made a bit on Launchpad last week. If the temps are good all week I don't see it out of the realm of possibility. From the snow report it looks like they will try to get Canyon/Standard open first if not also River Run so you can take laps on a North Face lift as well. Closely followed by Snowdance and the new (old) Vermonster terrain park at Carinthia.

If Big Boulder can do it, I'm sure Belleayre and Mount Snow can..

Nice, here's to good snowmaking temps and a good AZ outing. I work when the stock market is open = not many holidays off.

Latest Mount Snow News

An excerpt from Mount Snow's website:

Macho Snowmakerman Randy Barrows and the Miracle Makers are in their element. Snowmaking temps looks good all week, so they're starting with the new fan guns on our Canyon/Standard route. Other goals: Snowdance, River Run, so guests can get to the North Face, where they can take the lift back to the summit. And coming straight from the Peak Resorts owner himself, there are plans to start blowing on our new Vermontster park.

So it sounds like the lifts running could be Canyon Express, Challenger, Discovery Shuttle and Heavy Metal.
