I was hoping Pat's Peak would get a few trails open for the weekend, but the temps look pretty marginal this week, so I'd be surprised if it happens.
I was by there yesterday afternoon and a few flakes were falling but the slopes were bare. I've never skied PP and was impressed by some apparently decent pitch. Will try to give it a go some night this year; it's little more than an hour's drive, closer to me than Crotched, Wachusett or Gunstock as far as night skiing options with more substantial vert than Bradford or Nashoba.

Anway, I'll get out next when there's decent natural snowfall. Worried that this weekend will be mainly dust-on-bulletproof, with impatient hordes on limited terrain, unless the weekend storm track shifts W.

Cannon has pulled back off Friday opening and are saying "Maybe Sunday". So Maybe I will be at Jay Peak on Saturday instead. Depends how bad the NCP event is tomorrow. Maybe I will just hike Saturday and do Cannon Sunday. Who knows. Lots of Maybes pending what happens tomorrow. Surprised Cannon could not lay down enough this week... looks like they only blew on mid-mountain though and nothing near the base.

Mount Snow for opening day Sunday - unfortunately I'm likely just relegated to the beginner hill with my kids, as my wife is staying home in CT to do some mass X-mas decorating around the house, and while my oldest kid has no problem skiing off the top, I'd be a bit hestitant about bringing my youngest up there in a WROD scenario.

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!!

They can make some serious snow in a hurry with the right temps. A third of the mountain open by next weekend?? That might be pushing it a bit though without a generous helping from mother nature

I was looking at the loafs cam shots and they look good. They also have been blowing all day on the upper part of the hill because they got the temps and with the temps dipping into the 20s tonight do you guys think that will be the bet? I know Sunday will be the better day but sadly my friends are lame and can only go Saturday. Any input?
