The snowmaking trails are more challenging without the deep snow on them due to water bars. Natural snow trails lack this problem and can safely open once the ground is mostly covered in snow.
Disappointing to not have Super Bravo and Heaven's Gate options this weekend

Would think they would be ready to go by now with temps in the teens since they moved off Snowball, Fling.
You'll be getting some good temps this coming week!
How does the rest of the mountain look. With Stains and the mall open all natural, most of the lower mountain trails closed now must have enough snow to open once downspout is open.
So where to next? Murphy's, Birdland, Lower Grinder? Has Lower DS and Lower Jester from HG been blown yet? Also stay up high and get Ripcord? Hoping for more terrain by Turkey day. Thanks as always for the updates Win.
Cannot wait for tomorrow - 31 trails - most natural. Woo hoo!
As far as Castlerock there in no exit because of all the hoses and guns across Gondolier, but after they are off we may have hiking over there on Saturday. Patrol will be assessing the trails tomorrow to see if that is possible.
IF (and obviously still a big IF since patrol hasn't checked it out yet) Castlerock did open this weekend for hike access, would that be any sort of record for earliest opening? I thought it was pretty crazy when it opened in early December a couple times recently. To think there's even a chance it could be open in November is pretty unbelievable.
I believe there was a big dump in late November 1997 when everything opened ——- And then everything closed for awhile. Some other may remember that During the ASC era.
Something similar happened in Nov 99. Not saying it wasn't 97 also, but I specifically remember in 99 a Tuesday/Wednesday storm dumped about 3 ft up there. I was watching it from work that Wednesday and decided I *had* to get there for Thursday. Castlerock was entirely open ungroomed and deep. It got warm by midday especially at the base but that morning was pretty special. I also remember ppl were grumbling at the ticket window because the ticket price jumped overnight from like $39 to $59 or something in that range. A week or so later I was exchanging stoke with a sugarbush rep at the ski expo in Boston. Good times!
Back in April (of this year) when that storm hit and you reopened castlerock I was thinking back to that 99 day. It was on that order of rareness, for me at least. [emoji961]
