    Mount Snow making snow for this weekend

    No firm info yet, but the River has the guns going on T2 and Upper Punch. That is where I will be. :popcorn: Either making turns or standing :-D there waiting to make turns.

    SUNDAY RIVER 11/29-11/30

    Form was fine in the shot. I would guess they wanted MM to cure and groom it to cover a couple of water bars. Looking forward to escapade to be added as well as grand rapids and Amex. The link trails to get to Aurora have had some work done on them. Can't wait till Aurora opens. That is...

    SUNDAY RIVER 11/29-11/30

    which santa are you? \:D/ I caught the hat.... =D> I Have been out eight times at the River. I have missed 5 days I would normally make. Responsibilites and commitments are over till May. The snow making attack really is not anything you can get a feel for unless you are actually there and...

    Killington opens tomorrow

    They both get some bragging rights. I am pretty sure it was real being out the 23rd and 24th. There is something to be said for 7 day a week operation too. I don't think the River has enough business to be open mid week yet, but i would like to see Friday added on. Good for K and get out.

    Sunday River is now open

    I will be up real late Friday night. Doing the Hike for a cure. If they are open I 'll do a couple quick runs first Saturday am. Sunday I will go out for a few hours, but I have to get home for Halloween. One of those weekends where I will drive more than I ski. I have a green coat blue...

    Sunday River is now open

    I agree about Punch. I still am holding out hope for this Sat and Sunday. I don't think they know yet. Lets see if they can make some snow Friday afternoon and night.

    Sunday River is now open

    I went out Sat aftenoon and Sunday morning. I hit it nicely as it softened up sat afternoon. Great day. Just what you expect in October. Glad I had an option. Sunday was a bit busier, but Punch came on line and that was goomed smooth in sections nicely. Great to be out. Many thanks for the...

    They're making snow in the East this morning

    Pretty tight lipped at the River. I really don't think they are competing with anyone. They will open as soon as they can. Sure they would like to be the first open, but goal is more to open when they can. Others have an elevation advantage. They tend to say little and try to over deliver...

    They're making snow in the East this morning

    I was wrong, below is the data from the snow making section on the web site its 30 foot spacing. t2 Sunday Punch have tight spacing, lower punch know has fan guns used to fill the area quick, T2 and mid punch have towers guns. ***These are spread along 72 miles of snowmaking pipes that cover...

    They're making snow in the East this morning

    I have been there two out of the last 3 opening days at the River. Last year I made it on friday 1.5 days after opening. Coverage was pretty good. I think they went two weeks without being able to make snow and still stayed open weekends right through Turkey day weekend. I can't comment about...
