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 Good pattern coming up for Killington to really get ahead of the game on superstar for the world cup in 18 days. Doesn't look like any ugly torches either for the foreseeable future...they can probably make snow pretty much non-stop for the next 7 days if they want to.

Angus Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Snowshoed up Big Mountain in Whitefish MT this morning...I'm assuming this isn't a NE skiing only thread! - and the amount of folks skinning up and skiing down was impressive. There is 6" of snow at base but a good couple of feet mid-mountain on up. Place doesn't open for until December 7th. They have a few fan guns around the base area and one or two pre-positioned mid-mountain at what appears to be a high traffic area. Looks like a fun mountain. The wrap against the place is fog but this morning was mostly clear and the views east into Glacier National Park were breathtaking. 2,300' vertical feet challenged my fitness!

mreaves Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Couple of interesting pieces on snowmaking. I thought the one about the snow factory was particularly interesting. http://www.businessvermont.com/snow-guns-at-the-heart-of-ski-area-efficiency/ http://www.adirondackdailyenterprise.com/news/local-news/2016/12/orda-leases-snow-factory/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowgeek Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Skied Hunter today. 3 top to bottom runs, lots of sun and no lines. Surface was variable. Not to shabby for a first day out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston Bulldog Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Skied 12 runs at Okemo to kick off the season. The surface wasn't great and the trails were all crowded, but there were about 5-6 distinct different paths down the mountain. For Black Friday, I'll take that easily.

Yesterday was some pretty firm conditions up here. We've been open for a week and yesterday was the first day I was like "ok, now this is November skiing"...so not bad. The surface has been pretty good but the up and down weather pattern is tough on the surface conditions. Lots of "beach sand" (loose granular) out there on top of a firm base. Today morphed into almost spring skiing with temps hitting 50F in the base area before the band of precip moved through and the summit dynamically cooled to snow but 80% of the mountain's elevations saw rain (albeit only 0.05-0.1").

Sugarloaf1989 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Skied Mt Snow on Friday with overall good snow conditions. Little John was soft packed powder and most of Long John and Deer Run had new machine made snow. No real crowds to speak of with the most open terrain in the East.

powderfreak Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Nice powder morning from the few hours of 1-1.5"/hr snowfall this morning. Snowing again this evening with an inch of new snow in the past 60-90 minutes in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
