She doesnt want to bring her dock in because it will mean we jump right into winter. She would like hanging out in the lodge and maybe outdoor hot tub.

amarshall Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I should be getting my Maxx Pass in the mail soon. Now the question is where to go out west this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 SR adding a novice trail and t-bar. Novice trail from the top of Little White Cap down to Barker base. T-Bar on the left of Monday Mourning up to bottom of T2. Reminds me of the original t-bar that used to run up there when there were 2 t-bars to get to top of Locke Mtn.

MarkO Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 With temps below freezing, you know someone is going to "test guns" tonight. My guess is K-Mart, Sunday River and Wildcat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmart will probably have a chance to start the base up late this month into early November...def looks colder in that period. The key as always will be to avoid the ridiculous torching cutters that can happen in November. Last year, it wasn't excessively cold or anything except for late October when they started up, but they managed to avoid the horrendous 24-36 hour 55/55 rains so the snow was able to retain nicely even during meh periods in November. Such a huge difference between a 58/27 day and the 55/55 heavy rains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That manmade snow is essentially sleet in terms of retention. Depending on their snow gun settings, they are obviously going for production snow vs. skier friendly snow at that stage, so it may even make sleet look like powder haha.

Baroclinic Zone Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 SR today. This was not "mice blowing", they're actually making snow for an opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I prob would have waited until next cold shot....since that one may not revert to a big torch. But it's going to be pretty dry this weekend, so manmade snow could survive ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR Airglow Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Guns are on at Killington - wonder if they can get open by Sunday if they get decent production Friday/Saturday nights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 If anyone is looking for cheaper season passes at Wachusett, send me a message. I can get passes for $110 less than their regular rate until Nov 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkO Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Appears Killington is making snow on Superstar via webcam. Must be borderline snowmaking conditions. Also, just learned this year Ken Jones has a program where if you rent your kids skis there for the season, you get a Waterville Valley season pass. I wish I had known this years ago, lol.

That’s a pretty sweet deal, depending on the rental rates. For the second year in a row we are renting our daughter’s gear at the bump. All brand new stuff. If she outgrows the boots, etc during the season they will fit her into new ones. $139 for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think I'll make out in the end. Hoping to get 40 days this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR announced they're open by the weekend, no promises on earlier but they're trying. SR/Killington is a certainty but curious who else will go for it. Heard Mt. Snow has a new system that they're looking to show off, Bretton Woods usually plays the early season game, maybe Wildcat or Loon will try to make a showing? I'll be at SR on Sunday and possibly Saturday afternoon as well and can't wait to get back out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was a lower assistant the year before. But it's a nice perk to get the free pass living so close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkO Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 By the looks of the webcam, Killington is pounding Superstar and for good reason. I'm guessing either they or SR will open tomorrow or more likely Thursday for bragging rights. http://www.killington.com/site/mountain/webcam/superstar.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
