Ski Sundown Opening???

[Madroch]

Getting worried about next week-- looking like another lakes cutter with gulf moisture... makes no sense for Sundown to make snow before that-- rather have them save the $$ and use it to "refresh" our seeded bumps.

Interesting video on the regular Accuweather site from Joe Bastardi. Looks like things start to get interesting this week. He sees more of a double barrel low then a true lakes cutter and a significant LES event. Their snowfall models show snow on the ground up through CT. May or may not be true but at least it looks a lot more interesting then it has been. I think you'll see the areas start to blow this week.

I was up at Sundown today, at least the trails were all still white from the snow Friday night. I hear they're supposed to start making snow tonight. Hopefully the conditions are decent for snowmaking, it's pretty humid out right now...

I'm hoping for an opening on Saturday.

Where's Jarrod with the snow making pics!?

As much as I want Sundown to open this weekend, I won't be able to enjoy it. Out of town this weekend. Might be able to squeeze in Sunday night though....

Know what you're saying. Exam weekend for me. I have 2 take-home exams plus an 8-10 page paper to write, plus studying for another exam.

Are the guns still on? It was 27 degrees earlier when I brought my daughter to preschool. If still on, might be worth a drive by....

might be worth a drive by....

Yes! Early season recon mission. You have your orders.

Yup...

Just heard from Severine, guns are off, doesn't look like much was put down to her...

 

[Grassi21]

Temps are foretasted to get down to 22 tonight. Think they will crank it back up?

I saw her pics on Facebook. I thought it looked good. Lots of snow on the trees. You're not going to see much in the way of whaling after one night. Plus, Exhibition is so wide and that's almost all you can see from the base.

I can't think of any reason why they wouldn't.

I agree, I was just relaying what was said to me. I didn't see the facebook pictures yet.

I'm sure they'll turn them back on as soon as conditions support snowmaking.

EDIT - Saw the pics on FB, looks like a good start to me!
