Woodbury to open @4pm today

[loafer89]

I just called Woodbury and they told me that they will be opening at 4pm today with a 6" base and they expect to deepen the base over the weekend. It's not much folks, but it is skiing none the less.

Enjoy, I'll miss this one.

OMG. I can't believe I'm actually considering this...

Dude, me too. But its a much much shorter drive for me. ;-)

If i had a snowboard lying around, i'd probably give it a shot but not to ski on. I think it would make me jones even harder.

Same here. Some of the guys at Alpine Haus were telling me some pretty interesting stories about Woodbury a few weeks ago when I was getting footbeds done. I really have to check it out.

I have to give them credit, it was only 30F for them last night according to who I spoke to ( I think Rod) and he told me it's not much more than a few turns with some hits. It would be better if they would open with the chairlift, but the face is steep and would probably get skied off quickly.

I forgot to mention that they will be opened from 4pm - 10pm and plan to resume snowmaking later this evening.

How does Woodbury to what Bretton Woods usually has open at the start of the season?

You haven't seen Woodbury, have you? ;-)

 

[andyzee]

Home page says they are open.

No, but I've been to Bretton Woods and, while the beginner area is a good size for a bunny slope, it's definitely not something I'd drive 2.5 hours one way to go to...

I think you can see ALL of the open terrain from their webcam.

Yeah - definitely not worth it, even at a 30 minute drive...

 

[loafer89]

Woodbury early season is rope tow serviced skiing with about 100' of vertical drop, 10 -15 turns max.

I agree there is really nothing to ski.

 

[ctenidae]

Can that really qualify as "open" in any meaningful way at all?

 

[Joshua]

Oh, I am there, its 15 mins from me, they have some of the best glades in the East!

you are really going to pay someone to ski on this:
