Thanksgiving redemption for CT ski areas?

[severine]

Still looks better starting around Thanksgiving. We'll have to see if the NWS picks up on this in the next few days. I wouldn't count out an opening in November quite yet.

Rumor has it that Dec 5th will now be opening day...

Makes sense and I can live with that......as long as Stinger is nicely bumped up!

those temps, at least the highs, are below average for this time of year for ct.

Bite me.

I want last year's opening season.



What blows is that the temps went up so much (~10 degrees, give or take) in the forecast over the last week. Yeah, I know, it's not something to be relied upon. Still blows.

Unfortunately it doesn't blow at all (snow that is)...

Would you prefer "sucks" then?

Yes

We'll see......Far from optimum snow making this week.

Not looking good for the 5th at this point. I think we'll be lucky for the 12th, unfortunately...

Think cold (and Snow!)

 

[2knees]

definitely not happening this week. more rain in the shitcast and temps at night above freezing.


WTF!!!!

 

[severine]

About the only snow in CT right now is hockey slush in Simsbury tonight. Boo!

 

[The Sneak]

I don't see any favorable snowmaking weather in the near future for SNE ski areas. :uzi::angry:

Catskills look to have marginal (day) to good (night) weather starting this Thursday night. Hunter / Belleayre still on target for 05-Dec. per their websites.

Got a RU game this Saturday. If it holds, this Sunday will be the first day out

Love it! Going to use that term until the "shitcast" starts calling for cool temps and snow.

 

[Greg]

Things look like they'll improve Friday night. Hopefully.

Lets hope so! Looks like a chance of some snow on the tail end of the rain Thursday night into Friday too. Won't amount to much I don't imagine, but it's a step in the right direction. I want to see those guns going this weekend!

These extended forecasts have 'looked good' before... It seems the 'good' weather is always just a bit away...

I'll believe it when it gets here..

The race league kick-off party is Dec 10th. It'd be great if WA could be open to get some turns in first. I'm not optimistic. :angry:
