Hmmmmmm, unless there's been a drastic change, Sugarbush is opening the 22nd at Lincoln Peak, not Mt. Ellen. :-?

This one surprised me a bit:

Bromley Mountain, Early November

I didn't realize that Bromley was an early opening ski area. Do they have the snowmaking power to get up & running that early?

I think the dates account for very little natural snow so if that changes some of the dates change will as well. With their new $400,000 snowmaking system Cochrans will be much more viable as a feeding hill and local families will have a much better chance of getting on the snow than years past. With MRG having little snowmaking it was only a matter of time before they went to a December opening. Last year was a total kick in the butt for them..
