Who will make snow tonight? 10/21/08

[BigK]

Any ideas?

Mount Snow will on Launch Pad. I'm not sure if anyone will make a run at serious base building yet though. It still seems too early. Maybe Sunday River will. I guess Killington might start on the North Ridge - who knows?

 

[BigK]

The forecast isn't looking so good for Mount Snow currently. Especially at the base.

Oof. It doesn't. I have to imagine humidity is also going to be too high in most places.

Alot will be clearer by tomorrow night. Those starting in the next few days should beat the opening tentative days. If not, it looks like a real cold window at the end of next week into early November. My guess is K, Mt snow and SR will be giving it a go in the next 24 hours. K maybe the earliest due to the front passing through VT 1st.

I like this site, just pop in the zip and you get the wet bulb temp.

K has the best forecast going for it currently.

Weekend looks to be a bit too warm to hold onto any snow...IIRC. Source: WCAX morning forecast. Coming soon though!

This looks like its time to go. This is a 2000 elevation forecast. About where Sr would start to make snow. all speculation on my part.

I'll second that one. Way too much moisture in the atmosphere AND ground tonight.

Ummmmm.... maybe some antagonistic baiting trying to allude that perhaps Killington will be the one?

Mount Snow would have Wed, Thu and Fri to make, but then get boned on Sat + Sun. Probably not worth it...

Other than "blow for show" IMHO, you'll probably will not see any "full out" snowmaking efforts in the next few days as the predicted window of favorable wetbulb temps is a short one.

Yeah, I checked the posting history for "BigK" and I'd say he/she is an agenda poster...

Come clean, BigK! Do you have an interest (professional or real estate-ical) in Killington?

KMart has made it clear they don't have an interest in being the first to open unless that means others wait to open later. I think it would be great if they chaged their tune on this, but Powdr has been pretty predictable. Why change now?

I didn't see much incentive for SR to puch for Halloween again this year as they had set theiur tentative date a week before everyone else, but now that K and Mt. Snow have moved their dates up, perhaps Boyne will put down the hammer.

But I'll say this, if K changed their tune and said they would open on Halloween and SR didn't, I'd make the drive.

I'm starting to think the weekend of November 7th is looking real good...maybe Mount Snow and K-mart will open then..
