Soooooooo???? What's everybody's guess for the next trails to open?

BTW: Plenty of snow fell yesterday and more will fall this afternoon-tonight. And keep a weather eye out for a x-mas "present".

All I asked that fat bastard (santa) for christmas was to have Empire open. With another 6" and more on the way I'm hoping for a xmas eve opening. Since that's the only day I can ski the Face this w/e he better come through. Otherwise it'll be spoiled milk for old st nick. :angry: :x :evil:

It might be Upper Cloudspin. I'm also hoping they drop the ropes for all the glades. I think Empire might have a shot too. If Ihad to bet I think the best odds would be for Upper and Lower Parkway.

 

[freeheelwilly]

Well, Upper and Lower Mac and Upper and Lower Wilderness are open.

That leaves only Upper Cloudspin (above Niagara), Lower Skyward and Empire.

Can you believe this season? It's December 21!

Speaking of Dec 21. I like to ask all those who read this thread to wish HPD a happy anniversary. He's managed to make it another year without getting thrown out my Mrs. HPD. How long has it been now HPD? I'm guessing 16 years of marriage bliss.

Yepper 16 years. We got married on the darkest day of the year. I always tell here that we should have seen it as a sign of dark times ahead. She doesn't always appreciate my sence of humor.

Thanks Willy, she can come whenever she wants, but usually chooses not to. She knew the deal when she signed up. It will be interesting to see how SOD fares next season during his first year of married life.

 

[Son of Drifter]

Don't worry

It's like you said, she knew the deal with my skiing before she said yes. And I've already stated that kids will NOT be born during the ski season.

Happy Anniversary to you and your lovely wife, HPD! May you have many more years of love and happiness together... From a (very) good friend.

Thanks Lifer, but don't think your kind words are going to save you from the beat down I'm going to put on you when next we meet in the NASTAR course. :wink:

Don't lick those wounds too much. You'll need your health if you expect to have any chance in beating me. :wink: May the best skier on the Host Patrol win! :beer:

Don't be so sure SOD. I tried that with my wife and it worked the first time around, but the second time... well let's just say there's not a day that goes by that I regret that I had to gave up (most) of the ski season that year she was born. 8)

Re: Number of trails

Current trail count today is 42. I say by xmas eve they'll have at least 45 trails open including Upper Skyward. Anyone else have an opinion on what will open next?

Hey SOD, you may want to up your trail count prediction for xmas... there up to 54 today with snow in the forecast throughout the weekend. Maybe Santa will be able to open Empire for us after all. If not this weekend, maybe on Monday after we (hopefully) get the big dump they're forecasting.

I think it's unreal we're even able to talk about such a possibility... especially after the somewhat crappy season we had last year. Any one else have an opinion?

 

[freeheelwilly]

It is unreal. It's the 22nd of December and the only trails left to open are Empire, Upper Cloud and Lower Sky. (And the Slides)

 

[AdironRider]

Man I hate being gone for 5 weeks on colege break. The snow here in NH sucks.

59 Trails open today according to this. http://prance.com/whitefaceGroomMap.asp

The only prediction I'm willing to make now is that there will be GREAT skiing this weekend. :beer: :lol:
