Just wondering if anyone has any info at all on there snokmaking productions. What trails are they blowing snow on? What do they plan to have open for the weekend? They havnt updated there website in forever. Thread might not get any responses but might as well try.

I might be there Thursday since Wawa isn't going to open. Anyone else going thursday?

I'm not sure what they're doing this year but they normally start with Blast Off. I'd guess that that would be the only option this week.

Skibum is probably right, they will probably start with Upper and Lower Blastoff. They plan on opening Wednesday, last I saw...

Yes, I am surprised at the lack of info from Sunapee. Not like them. Even when the news was bad, last season they told you the lowdown.

Last year it was Blastoff First and then they tied in Skyway Ledges to Toboggan Chute back to Lower Blast Off, then eventually Chipmunk and the run under the lift.

They blow snow to last the season and not to open, so it takes them a bit longer to open runs.

From what I've heard we will be opening Wednesday with Blast-Off top to bottom. Last time I talked with my dad (Night Operations Supervisor, Mt Sunapee Resort) he told me that the plan was to get Blast-Off open top to bottom and they would then concentrate on getting Wingding top to bottom or a combination of Skyway Ledges, Skyway, Sundance, and Lower Cataract as well as a run off of the Clippership in time for the weekend. Given the fantastic snowmaking temperatures that we have been having chances are really good that they are maxing out what snowmaking capacity that they have to get this stuff open. I'm not sure what the status of all this is, as I only talked to him last on Saturday night, but I have a feeling that there will be at least two top-to-bottom runs by Saturday. I'll be working there Saturday so I can get an update for you all then if I can.

Just a reminder that Sunday is "Cares and Shares" day...lift tickets are $25 if you bring non-perishable food items:
