powhunter is en route to thy beloved Sundown. He promises some pics.
Wish you had called me. Would have saved me 2 gallons of gas. ;)

More pics to process soon. Seemed like some of the surrounding houses had as much snow on the ground naturally. Still, it's a good start. Posting pics soon.

Alright, this is what I got...

CRW_2708.sized.jpg


CRW_2715.sized.jpg


CRW_2717.sized.jpg


CRW_2720.sized.jpg

The last picture is driving by Jerram vineyard on the way home, for a reference point on natural snow in the New Hartford area (plus the sky was really pretty then, even though it was only around 1PM).

According to Facebook:

The entire crew is working hard to ensure we deliver the great mountain experience our guests have come to expect from us on opening day...slated for some time the end of next week! With colder temperatures coming throughout the weekend, we’ll take every opportunity to bury that less-than-desireable-frozen concoction currently out there with tons of Ski Sundown snow!

Based on teh forecast, they're going to be able to bury the place, and hopefully open with epic moguls.

At least I'll be done with finals by then. No distractions. And Brian will be home so I can go out and get blasted with my History class Tuesday night. :beer:

I almost forgot about that. :eek:

This weather is a bummer. I hope we get some cold again soon so they can start blasting the mountain!

38 degrees at 12:30. It's the wind chill that's making it feel cooler.

And B, you better not forget!


and it was 42 when i woke up. I guess my point is that the weather has improved dramatically. How often do daytime highs stay below 32 degrees in connecticut in early december?

average high for today is 41 degrees.

its coming though, thats for sure.
