After Tuesday morning they won't be able to blow until Thursday night/Friday morning so I doubt next weekend. Could lose some ground Weds/Thursday with warm and rain. GN is a lot to cover.

They'll probably just leave the snowmaking whales untouched on the GN route until later in the week when the colder air returns and they'll be that much closer. If K feels like they've got enough base up in the Northridge area to comfortly handle what the weather the next week or so looks like (read as some warmth but more snowmaking weather) then they'll smartly go into expansion mode. And a bunch of whales of likely more than a foot, if not 2+ feet deep, left as is will hold up OK with the mid week forecast, and leave K likely at, if not with more than 1/2 of the snow they'll need to get open down to the base of K1

With so many resorts blowing snow I think killington is gonna be pretty aggressive with getting new terrain open. Gotta keep that "beast" status

They'll be open top to bottom by this Saturday, if not Friday afternoon.

I really thinking of going this Subway what regulars think about how many trails will be open anyone else here might go be cool to ski with.

I can't do Saturday but will wake up Friday, see who has the better conditions between SR and K and go. Hope the rain and warm weather don't do too much damage.

SR is still closed midweek, so I think that makes your decision for Friday much easier!

I might go this weekend if they can open top to bottom. Let me know if you head up.

Is Subway Saturday or Sunday in Scotty-ese? I'm thinking about going up to Killy this weekend if it's top to bottom. I just don't think I can wait any longer.

I'm waiting for a little bit more to open up. It will be my first day out since injuring myself last year (broken ankle, blown ACL) so I'm a little bit apprehensive. Just picked up my new knee brace last night (Bledsoe) so I'm ready to go. Before going on any advanced terrain I'd like to test it out on easier terrain first. I know there's some easy terrain open elsewhere but my pass is for K. Might have to wait for Snowdon to come on-line
