Due to the warm weather, Wachusett has moved their opening from this Friday to next Saturday.

*And the snowmaking commences*

Snowmaking is currently underway to get a base ready for this week's opening that was lost in the warm weather.

Given what we're getting for NCP and temps, I wouldn't be surprised if it got pushed back again :(

Doubt it. Weather forecasts calls for low 30s for highs Thursday-Saturday with lows in the teens and snowshowers on Friday. Plus, Wednesday's storm is on the edge.

EDIT: A quick look at Wa's WebCam2 (a great innovation) shows that Upper Conifer survived the rain and is still completely covered at the headwall. All that wet snow will probably freeze tomorrow and make a sweet base. Add the temps in the teens this week and you get an opening pretty soon.
