Skiing on the Cheap - 2014-15 Edition

Guess Pat's Peak isn't opening tomorrow per this posting on their Facebook page.

Ok. Here's the scoop! It was the best of times and the worst of times. 15" of new snow is the best Thanksgiving news we've had in a long time. Unfortunately a BIG negative is Mr. Kilowatt is NOT making an appearance as of 8pm on Friday night.*

Now the worst part, wet snow has downed multiple electrical lines in the area making electrical service non-existent in many places including Henniker - home of the mighty Pats Peak.*

At this point, it appears that operating on Friday is highly suspect at best. Please check back in the morning for an updated status.*

PSNH electric crews are working their proverbial magic and butts off but in the grand scheme of things power restoration for homeowners ranks a bit higher than access to a good powder day. Debatable for sure, but we know where the priorities should be.*

With that said, we're going to be gunning for an re-opening on Saturday with all the good news being delayed 24 hrs. It will be like Friday never happened!*

See you guys Saturday, hopefully, for an action packed weekend. Thanks for checking in!*

The 2014/15 season is off to a great start although a bit bumpy! But we are hardy in New England!

Lost power here on the NH seacoast for 24 hours. Thankful we got it back that quick. It clicked on 8 minutes before we got home from the holiday meal at the MIL's

What did folks score from this years RSNE card? I was pretty pleased. Scored an anytime MT Abram voucher and a Sun-Fri Ragged. Prior years I always got a random NH or ME ticket I used and a midweek Black Mountain ticket that I often was unable to use. Psyched to ski Mt Abram. Its been about 4 years.

Well I live in Henniker and power was restored around 1am this morning. With that said I haven't seen then update their website yet if they are going to open or not.
I realized 2 things because of this power outage. My wife would not survive a zombie apocalypse and I am now in the market to buy a generator.

I bought one right before Sandy and still have never poured gas into it. Been the best 250.00 I've ever spent!

UPDATE AS OF 8AM: Pats Peak is still without power as of 8am this morning. We are still waiting for Mr. Kilowatt to make an appearance at the ski area. PSNH power crews are working hard to get everyone online as soon as possible.
In light of this situation, we will not be operating on Friday and still have our hopes high to open the lifts on Saturday morning, provided there is power.

I guess only my side of town is up.

Unless you ski there on weekends you should be able to find cheaper deals on Liftopia or there are lots of BOGOs floating around for Bush.
