Anyone heading up this weekend? This past weekend they had a mini park setup and a couple people I know went and said it was fun. Me and a few friends are heading up this weekend. Anyone else down?

Are they definately going to continue to be open this weekend? I thought the actual opening date was targeted at Nov 8th. Does the weather look like they will expand the snow at the base?

depends on what you call an "opening" if they are blowing snow, and you like hiking jibs, then go. if you want lifts and 1000 foot vert with enough base to cover, then stay home until the official "opening"
Looks like they'll be able to blow snow every night except tomorrow night, so they should get a decent amount of snow down by the weekend. Enough to have a full trail i don't know.
Hey librider, i`ll be there i think

Yea I meant the hikeable stuff. Word was that Killington didn't blow last night because they thought it was going to warm up too much this weekend and it would be a waste so I was wondering if Mount Snow though it would last through Monday. Apparently there is some rain coming down the pipe.
Its just hiking jibs. so worth it though.
I'm all for driving long distances to ski...but driving from Philly to Mount Snow for that is nuts.

Will they still have snow left this weekend??? I'll hit up Mount Snow in 3-4 weeks when they have a top to bottom run open..If I was into grinding picnic tables I'd be there like a hobo on a ham and steeze sandwich..Holla
If you're trying to drive I'll throw up some cash for gas, my car might still be in the shop. Any plans on crashing somewhere? Driving to Mt. Snow and back in one day to hike jibs is kinda nuts, especially when 1260 is having a jam that same day

I am little sheepish mentioning other forums when on a forum..But the info flows very fast here.

Been doing jams on carpet and ice rink snow for the past 3 weekends. It's been a tease. And a drive up and back isnt that bad.
8 hours of driving in one day is worth real snow! even if its only a little
not worth it at all. have fun though
It really isn't worth it, I don't care though, I'll still go. Hopefully the conditions stay decent through this weekend.
Maybe its not worth it money wise and all, but fun wise it totally is. A really fun day of preseason jibbing with your good friends on real snow is likeeeee priceless . People from up there came all the way to boulder for one little trail of snow and some jibs, so its like almost the same minus a lift and some rails.

For us Pennsylvanians manmade snow is just as good as real snow..
Haha oh yes this is true, and thats why my definition of REAL SNOW is anything but carpet or a strip of icerink stuff. hehe

From the Mt Snow Report today:

8:30am: Ok, here's the update you've been waiting for ladies and gents. Let's just do it like a Band-Aid... nice and quick. Launch Pad has been disassembled for today. Need a pick-me-up? Keep reading!
Mother Nature dropped some flurries on us last night and we even woke up to a slight accumulation! Wee! We're also looking at a few upcoming nights in the 20's people! As soon as the temperatures start cooperating, we’ll be firing up our guns. Launch Pad will be open this weekend, conditions permitting.
Winter is upon us, folks. Get excited.

Keeping the dream alive. I'm waiting until they get a few real trails going before I do all the driving, but if I didn't have plans for this weekend already I could see it.
the 16 hours of driving, 48 hours of no sleep, and getting wet and muddy was 110% worth it. Awesome time you guys missed out.

When we were up there this weekend the kids on park crew said that they were aiming more for the 8th, but the 1st would be sick too. I`m pretty sure we are all heading up again for opening weekend which will be alot of fun i`m sure.
Oh and Justin, you`re right. SKIING is wack. but snowboarding on the other hand....
hehe jk
Sick pictures guys!
I wish I was crazy enough to drive all the way up there to play in an extra large snowcone
