Mount Snow starts the "who's going to make snow this weekend?" list!

Rock Garden,Lower Cannon,and Lower Gremlin.

We had one of our best days of the season yesterday. It was the perfect combination (at least for this god awful season) -- winter temps, minimal crowds, blue skies, and fresh man-made piles of pow. Made me happy to be a passholder.

Sunday River is taking tonight off and claims to be resuming snow making Monday night. Going to check out their product later this week.

Skiing great today, all over the mountain.

Good to hear. I opted for the much shorter ride to Loon. It skied good on everything groomed, but the few ungroomed were dust on pure boilerplate. Legit PP on the recent snow making trails. No more snow making and announced a projected 4/10 closing date. Hopefully they add one week as they usually do as there's plenty of snow. Unavoidable work tomorrow, and then a couple days at the River.

Yup and we missed out! My wife wanted to pack and my son is done with the east and wants to wait until Colorado in two weeks.

Actually was very similar to the last 2 weekends except for the new mm "powder".Lots of fun.Myself and a few Cannon regulars are old school Cannon cruisers that love these high speed fast and firm conditions.All I'm hoping for is more of that big blue sky to end the season.Its actually amazing how descent the skiing has been considering whats been thrown their way.

Conditions @ Mt. Snow Sunday were similar. I had a great time personally.

I really hope this is true! A few weeks back that seemed absolutely impossible, but they've been managing to hang on pretty well some snow making and small natural accumulations. The 10-day outlook doesn't look too favorable. Even if they only make the 3rd I'd be happy.

I talked to GM JD Sunday and he said their goal is to shoot for the 10th if possible.

You've been there more recently than I have. What do you think the odds are of making it that long?

I wouldn't count on it but it wouldn't surprise me if they made it that long. The mid mountain seems really thin. The depth on the upper mountain was still good so they could probably farm snow if they needed to.

Same old question/answer,Depends on the weather.After almost 5 weeks with heavy rain events I thought each weekend might be getting to the end but its been pretty good.Right now it looks good through the 3rd but obviosly its up to mother nature.I think we will make the 10th.

Not sure it's looking good through the 3rd - the forecast calls for nearly an inch of rain between tonight and tomorrow...

But I'll still hope against hope that they make it to the 10th...

They should net around zero from this weeks weather with a few days already of a couple inches and a mixed bag this morning before the rain.A marginal event is coming next tuesday again.I did however see temps near 70 at the end of the week.The 3 rd is a sure bet right now imo.
Todays report:
The good news is that we should fare better than most as we already have the most open trails in NH, plus we've picked up the most new snow in the state this week. Snow coverage and conditions are quite decent and we still have a ways to go before we see the end of the season.

By the looks of the Cannon cam I think I misjudged this melt.An area that has been brown and then covered in now is very brown and the temp has soared to 43 at the summit.Its only 34 here in Manchester as I write this.I'llsee the real damage in person in a few hours.

Looking forward to your report!

Yes, mother nature.

Friday is April. I would really doubt mountains will be making snow this weekend when a lot of places won't be open past this weekend.
