Scheduled opening days

[ERJ-145CA]

I figured I'll start the scheduled opening day thread this year.

Belleayre's website says their tentative opening date is November 14th.

Gah. This is going to be a depressing thread! At least at this time of the year.

I'd really be thinking it's all going to depend on the weather. It IS looking like a good trend so far this year tho.

Just gotta hope for the mid-November cold blast again. Last year kicked off in good shape.

Sugarloaf is saying 11/20 for projected opening.

 

[St. Bear]

Mountain Creek has a countdown on their website for Dec. 5, but I probably won't bother heading up until closer to New Years.

Sugarbush website says Saturday, Nov 21st

That seems very optimistic for da Creek. Hopefully they can pull it off.

That seems very optimistic for da Creek. Hopefully they can pull it off.

Last year they announced a similar opening date (I think it was 12/8 ), and had to push it back a week. I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happened again this year.

Cannon is November 27

I think that is the time frame for both K and Sr. Be fun to watch. good competition.

Nov 27th per Saddleback's website

Last year I skiied Hidden Valley on 12/6 so they were open early December, hopefully they pull it off again this year.

The game is afoot...

 

[Newpylong]

SR will win.

 

[tcharron]

I think it's *awesome* that K and SR may be in a race to get SOMETHING open early. I just hope in their efforts, they can at least bust even during the attempt, so it can happen more in future years. :-D

 

[nycskier]

SR will win.

That's because Killington's new management stopped playing!

Sunday River can always open earlier if they want to. They have a north-facing fixed-grip lift with a midstation that services intermediate terrain. It doesn't take much to get the top section of T2 open. Until Killington has a better lift layout for downloading, they're going lose this battle most years.
