Good start to the season. No walkway needed, open top to bottom. Plenty of thin cover naturals available on North Ridge and Snowdon.
Some small bumps and berms formed and made for fun skiing. Only drawback to that was having to dodge skiers on Mouse Trap bumps
or, even more frightening, the icy last narrow part of Chute before it joins lower Mouse Trap. Cascade and Downdraft headwalls also very
skiable.

I'm in Utah, no skiing here until sometime after Thanksgiving. Same many western locations currently. Warm fall. You guys in New England rule the ski world right now :love:

1. Nov. 14, 2025 Stowe (pre-season)
2. Nov. 21, 2025 Stowe

Hadn’t been to Stowe in over a decade. After the pre season turns last week I had all intentions to make it back for opening day. Front four and glades in play. Only November skiing that compares to today was Nov 2018 at Sugarloaf.

After Thanksgiving? You're optimistic. Could be goodly into December.

That said, Brian Head's in Utah, and they're at about 115% expected snowfall for this date. We might head down there in a few weeks if there's still no snow up here. Only about a 2.5 hour drive.

EDIT: On an more optimistic note, I was talking to a guy in the ski shop in Park City tonight, and he claims he recalls another year like this where it was bleak,, and then right around the first week of December they got a monster 30 inch storm that set everything up fine.

3 routes open top to bottom for opening/passholder appreciation day today. A good portion of the beginner area at the base is open. Belle blew a ton of snow. Pretty impressive.
