Any thoughts on the earliest they could manage a Vista opening? Want turns closer than Rutland VT or Banner Elk NC
Belleayre will likely be the first day trippable area to open
If anyone with an IndyPass wants to bring some non pass holding friends along to Jay, grab the deal Jay is offering through end of Nov - 4 transferable any day tix for $279. Can even use multiple tix on same day.
Gonna get one for my kids to use to ski with me over break since they have no ski pass now that they are off at college
$50 for a lifetime Indy+ pass is a beyond awesome deal - and yeah I love getting an awesome deal
Epic is not all that strong in PA offerings, so adding 2 days each at Montage, Shawnee and Bear Creek is totally awesome, as is adding Magic, Jay and Burke in VT and Cannon and Waterville in NH
I will have an Indy Pass + for the foreseeable future, in addition to an Epic Local pass this year, thanks to the Indy Pass License Plate Club offer that awards free annual passes to folks with approved vanity plates promoting Indy Pass and Skiing

Don’t imagine I will be doing any off-pass skiing this year now that I will have both
Hunter still claiming they will be open this weekend for those with a yen to ski in the rain without driving to VT
Forecast for both days on their site is for scattered thunderstorms
Froday forecast looks promising though - best option for skiing within a couple hundred miles of PA
Folks really think they are gonna open Sat for bragging rights even with heavy rain in forecast. Maybe Vista only to say they were open and lose less money - gotta be easiest to keep some snow at the top too
Skied CB yesterday. Some of the trails were iffy conditions and coverage but Cliffhanger was pretty flawless, so 10 of my 18 runs were down that. Skied in a windbreaker over a t shirt with sunglasses and no gloves. Beautiful day
Was at Blue on Fri and they had way more open, but their snow was much more granular while Cliffhanger snow on Sat had a nicer consistency
East coast skiing close to done for me. Might get in one day at Hunter next weekend, then heading to Vail April 12
Yeah Hunter is better than Windham but also more crowded than Windham.
Eithet way I will be sticking with Epic and Hunter as Windham is no longer on a pass
