When do you guys think snowmaking will resume in New England???

When the temp drops below freezing.

snow-forecast is calling for freezing conditions to return to Killington Sunday morning-afternoon. I wouldn't be surprised if they have their snow making crews on call to start blowing as soon as possible, given that they're pushing for the earliest opening. Places that are waiting for the weekend may wait until Sunday night, given that they have a couple more days to make snow before they open stuff up.

That said, even Mount Snow should be seeing snowmaking conditions Sunday night. They might hold off a little until Monday when they start to see around the clock snowmaking conditions, but I'd expect just about everyone else to be going Sunday night. Heck, even Sundown is looking at freezing conditions around the clock starting Tuesday, potentially Monday at the top of its lofty peak!

I don't think it's likely, but Sundown is supposed to test the system this weekend. I've been told they're ready to pull the trigger any time after that.

Yup, found that out when the folks that oversee the maintenance of the entire complex where my place by Mount Snow is, called today saying that they noticed that the heat was out in my place when they went in to do a routine check of the carbon dioxide monitor today :eek: Fortunately it was just a defective ignitor for the furnace which has been fixed already. :)

I'm sure that made the condo fee for this month worth every last penny! Glad they found that out now! Yikes!

They're actually very good with the monitoring, since basically a problem in 1 unit can quickly become a problem for an entire building in some instances :eek:
