Snowmaking 11/17/05

[Bosefius]

Can anyone answer, did it get cold enough for anyone to make snow this morning/last night? When will they be able to start blowing tonight?

 

[thetrailboss]

No. Snow in the forecast for up high though...tomorrow looking good as is Saturday. Sunday maybe borderline. My source: VPR, Roger Hill on WDEV Sugarbush. It was 71 F in Burlington, VT yesterday

Per the Killington Zoners, guns are blasting at K Mart this morning.

Killy's corporate site is stating 15 "trails" w/ top-to-bottom riding for Saturday.

 

[ozskier]

Sunday River is going to have the guns on today as well.

LOOKING GOOD for Cannon on 11/25!!!!!!!!! :beer: I'm GETTING EXCITED NOW!

Cannon rocks, I've been there so many times early season, and it always seems like other trails are poachable based on natural snow!!!

:blink: How is K-Mart going to be opening in less than 48 hours based on THIS?

On Glades Triple, yeah. But the whole 15 trails and three lifts? That's grass

If they blow round the clock, 40 hours is probably enough time, I don't think they'll have a problem...

 

[dmo]

Not enough for me to drive 10 hours in a day though.... (ski house rental doesn't begin until Dec. 1).

So it looks like I'll be waiting till T-giving weekend after all and maybe making a few turns with Oz Skier at the River.

Welcome cooper. Thanks for the link to the pic!

I just read that my local mountain here in CT plans on starting to blow snow tonight! I'm suprised I figured it would be another week before they started. The last I heard their projected opening date is Dec 3rd, which, I think, is a good couple weeks earlier than last year!

The Guns are going at Sugarloaf on Sluice and later today on Boardwalk.

Yes, that's right.

Everyone remember to pass right by exit 19 on the thruway...no snow there!
