Where To Ski On Thanksgiving

[eastcoastskiier]

I have never been out on the snow before Dec before, and this year wqith all the snow places were getting i wanted to make an attempt to get out therer a few times in NOV. qith my starting date being Thanksgiving, Belleayre was suppost to be open 2 weeks ago, but then it got warm, and i have not heard anything about hunter or Jimminy yet. WHERE'S EVERYONE PLANNING ON GOING?

ANY MOUNTAINS OPEN, OR PLAN ON OPENING FOR THANKSGIVING?

i have not heard anything about hunter or Jimminy yet.

Have you browsed the forum today? A few threads on both Hunter and Jiminy. There is a good chance both will open Friday or Saturday. I'm trying to get a group together at Hunter:

You comin'?

If you don't cause a freak heat wave, there's a good chance. I'll be in Killington Thursday and Friday and depending on conditions, may hit Hunter on Saturday.

from this thread:

Don't get fooled by the trails, for one it'll be crowded. Two, you will not find a green trail that goes from the top to the base. Notice green trails just have the upper portions open, easiest at the bottom will be chute and Bubby Buster, both intermediate trails, both will be crowded and bumped up. This is from opening day last year, Bunny Buster, which was the only way at the bottom of the mountain:

You got it andyzee. A lot of people have to learn the lessons of early season skiing the hard way. This would not be the weekend to go skiing at all.
