SikSkier - I think you should add Tenney to the NH list with a note that they never opened. They definitely would have if sufficient snow had fallen.

PA not done yet. Cliffhanger still has a healthy base on it and there is still a "chance" that they may make snow on it if conditions warrent.

This is what Boulder looked like too, but there are thinner spots around and after all this rain and mild temps its going to do serious damage.

sunday river has been snowing all day and radar shows snow thru 11 PM before any mixing. a nice buffer for the next few days of wet. then a chance for an inch or so thursday night, and then they are talking potential two day snow event sunday-monday. that's still far out and has repeatedly failed all year, but glad to see the buffer snow falling today.

Was at Wildcat on Saturday, base layer of ice was showing on a lot of the open trails but as mentioned Lynx had good cover. 3 April is a long way off given the current weather trends...my uneducated guess would be that they will be good for Easter weekend but April is a stretch.

Most places are open this week. It's vacation week in Canada.

Hunter is my home base, but this season only an idiot would drive from Canada to ski at Hunter.

Since Belleayre is weekends only I assumed Hunter would follow suit. Pleasantly surprised.

I think (or at least hope) that you'll find that with Peak Resorts as their owner that you'll see a bunch of changes, mostly subtle rather than completely trying to reinvent the wheel, as I saw 1st hand when Peak bought Mount Snow.

I heard a few weeks ago, Dick Deutsch, one of Peak's big wigs, speak about how important they (Peak) felt the addition of Hunter was going to be to their resort portfolio and overall company operations, at the Mount Snow passholders meeting. If Peak uses the same type of operations strategy they use at Mount Snow for Hunter, and they have a GM and senior staff for various departments in place who are as effective at communicating to their passholders why they are making such and such a decision, I think you'll find out why I get accused around here often of being a "Peak cheerleader" and why I don't get offended by that at all as they've done a very good job overall at making enhancements to a mountain that I love and saw had lost a bit of its luster under the previous management

Last time I was in Canada, they had signs on the urinals instructing people that the water was not potable, so I guess you never know...

Mount Snow is firing the guns back up on Friday night!

Where does this intel come from? Not seeing this on FB or their site. Maybe I missed it... Debating between Wildcat and Mt. Snow for this upcoming weekend. I would certainly consider Mt. Snow if that's true...

Their GM's blog that she posted this morning about it....

Sweet. Conditions were quite good last weekend (all things considered) so with this good news, we'll probably return and save one hour of driving each way compared to Wildcat.

We may have had a crappy winter, but we've been very lucky with the weather patterns these past few weeks. This will be weekend #4 with full sun whereas weekdays have been much less glorious and often time rainy. I'll take what I can get!

Cant wait to check that out when I'm up there starting Sunday.

It was in Vancouver, at either a train station or a public park. Wish I had taken a picture but I'm not sure if it's socially acceptable yet to whip out a camera in a public restroom....

I see Ragged is calling it quits Saturday. Which ill include their pond skimming event...

High temp of 30 and low of 14. Sounds toasty.

Curious where you see that they are definitely not opening Sunday? All the info I see is that they are closed this week and re-opening this wknd.
I mean it would not surprise me to see them run the pond skim Sat and them be done but I haven;t seen an official word on that?
I'll be taking my son up on Saturday regardless for some turns on the Barnyard.
