I think having good cold weather (low teens) a few days ago on the final day of snowmaking really helped. It was one of those nights that the guns make such a mist that I get some all the way down to my house half a mile away, and the whole valley is in fog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives an idea of what the next week or two will look like terrain wise if you know the mountains patterns. . Not throwing shade at all, as I know how it goes sometimes… but I have been surprised that Sugarbush hasn’t updated any dialog about what’s going on there since mid-October.

They typically do this in their blog posts and then fire up the daily reports once the season starts. Looks like there have been several entries since the start of November. Not the easiest to find but the info is there. https://blog.sugarbush.com/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was odd there was nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted Wednesday at 04:25 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:25 PM @powderfreak, looks like a decent upslope event potential this weekend. Cold airmass too coming in for Tday and beyond as well. Good news for the World Cup at Killington. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCWarrior Posted Wednesday at 07:59 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:59 PM Tuesday seems like something to watch up north too, more upslope potential after that smaller event as well. I’m hoping someone is open on my epic pass next Wednesday. It’s time to ski! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping someone is open on my epic pass next Wednesday. It’s time to ski! Stowe’s problem is needing to open top to bottom on 2,100ft vertical… From about the blue line and up is decent, but the bottom 500 vertical feet is the problem. So could ski 1500 verts but can’t open due to that last 500. So we are left searching for 1500ft snowmaking temps. I like to see -5C to -7C at 925mb for decent base area temps (26F or lower).

powderfreak Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago Another night, another mild one at elevation. The mid-slope climate is well mixed and in a mild month, you can’t hide from it like the valleys can. 28F in the valley and 39F in the base area. It’s cold where people live, but warm on the mountain. The inversions are things that skew public perception on snowmaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwt3650 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Jay planning on spinning the Jet on Saturday for passholders, and free skiing for anyone who bought the 4 pack of tix for $279. Not bad getting a path down to 1800'. Also changing up the opening day this year with adding a blue to opening day off the top of stateside. I'm going to assume they are betting hard on being able to blast away from Sunday on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRVexpat Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Killington just announced they've been given a go by the FIS for the World Cup. Never a doubt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
