Where ya headed this weekend????

[andyzee]

I really like the headband Andy...unfortunately, except for Spring temps...the scalp can't take the mountain temps with just headband anymore...LOL/sigh..

That was while roller blading, so no problem, was warm.

I was looking at the loafs cam shots .... I know Sunday will be the better day but sadly my friends are lame and can only go Saturday. Any input?

From today on...temps feel/look really good with plenty of snowblowing potential...seems like conditions on the one trail...Tote Rd(ARRRGGHH...LOL) should be good.
Saddleback is on hold till next week...

$50 says it'll be less crowded than K-Mart (In terms of total skier visits).

It looks at the moment with rime and reason spinning that kmart will have more skiable ground and is also 2 hour shorter drive at least. However, the loaf has the nicer blacks open, and also the tempts for tonight to blow some snow as well as killington does. Blaaaah!! i cant decide what i wanna do

I'm saving my skiing for next weekend. It'll be much better then (assuming current forecast holds).

i just cant decide for the loaf or k on Saturday

You're over-thinking this. It's gonna be typical early season skiing anywhere so I don't think it's something to get worked up over. Personally, I wouldn't drive any further than I had to.

Very true! That being said, i'll probably hold out till sunday for MS, shorter drive then K.

Next weekend we are headed up to killington and I was on their webcam last night. THERE IS NOT A DROP OF SNOW ANYWHERE IN SITE.... How good is their snowmaking capability. Enough to cover 1/3rd of the mountain to make it worth while??? Someone please tell me something good!!

The best snowmaking capability of any of the big mountains in New England. 1/3 of Killington Peak? Or 1/3 of all of the ski area? They currently have more miles of terrain open than any other mountain in the east.

Some pics from today:

Upper East Fall

Great Northern

North Ridge

Great Northern, near the Snowdon Poma

"middle" Chute

What's open today is highlighted in Yellow: With K1 Express Gondola and North Ridge Triple.

What SHOULD be open the weekend of December 12/13 (based on the current weather forecast, what the mountain says they hope to get open for next weekend, and my own opinions based on prior seasons) highlighted in yellow: With K1 Express Gondola, North Ridge Triple, Snowdon Quad, Ramshead Express Quad, and Superstar Express Quad.

I would say there is a 95% chance that that terrain will be open for the weekend of December 12/13. There is also a very good chance, based on the current forecast, that they will have more than that open as well. . .

I'm really not sure.. Was hoping I'd have some options by now, but loon may open on Sunday with gondola downloading, grr... maybe i'll hike cannon again sat? Does anyone know how much that rain damaged them this week?

Sunday River is another option perhaps....

 

[powhunter]

Thanks for the pics/update....gonna be up sun-mon

I wouldn't bother hiking Canon.

I heard the rain effed up what they had pretty good.

And whatever it didn't mess up is going to be a solid hunk of ice with the warm / rain / refreeze we've had / are having.

looks promising great pics

Maybe Killington on Monday. Depends on reports...

 

[bigbog]

Nights should be pretty good for snowmaking @Loaf, but I think Killington's elevation plus their work....gives it a great edge. SundayRiver has a lot of guns...but Sugarloaf is having their Tin Mtn Roundup this wkend....tough to beat $30 a day.
Sunday should be pretty good up at Sugarloaf. Sat. night temps supposed to be nice....have already cooled down here in Bangor(@6:06pm). Sugarbush is opening on Sunday(as mentioned)..might be the sleeper....??
