i think ill have fun on those.
-
i was under the impression killy was only blowing on upper mountain, but parkbuilder said in another thread that this week they will open wtih top to bottom, definately by the weekend. at this point i dont care where, as long as its under 8 hours, i ride as long as its this week.
-
i think bell will be and maybe sunday river, no killington though.
-
belleayres been blowing for a while now.........
-
yeah too far for too little. im still hoping for the 11th though.
-
i hope they open, but with other resorts further north not opening i cant imagine that bell will. i heard killington will not open for a fact. for some reason killington is not attempting top to bottom while sunday river is, and they are both asc resorts so its not finances. i hope i dont have to drive to nc but ill seriously do that if i have to.
-
me and my friend just talked about it, and were pretty sure were going to north carolina on wednesday. i know its insane, but i want to snowboard and im off work that day so why the hell not?
-
if i was religious id be praying right now. but all i can really do is hope now. how many trails did bell open with last year?
-
woodbury is opening today i think with a 6 inch base haha.
-
killington looks like a no go. warm weather moving in next week and they think they can only hold snow at the top half. anyone up for north carolina'? cataloochee is opening this saturday!
-
if they open im doing the same i did last season, leave at 1 am, get there, have breakfast and start riding when the lifts fire up, ride until 4, then drive home.
and about the lisensces, its a law that all states must accept other states laws, whcih is how someone from iowa with a lisense at 15 or 16 can drive in nj where you have to be 18 to get a full lisense.
-
maybe theyll get some natural before then so the ropes can be ducked, then you can ski without the rest of the northeast. happened last year, and ski patrol actually told us whcih ropes to duck for the best snow.

Now do we all feel better?
from kzone forums. apparently spinmaster is a high up at killington.

psh im going to the first place thats open to get some turns. the river is pushing it, thats gotta be like 8 hours each way. i day tripped cedar point in ohio this summer and the drive home was terrible and its about the same distance. maybe if i dont drink at the river i could manage it.
-
by late start i meant im still spoiled by riding powder last halloween at killington, so anything after that feels late haha
-
maybe a late start will mean a late end? i guess i can wait another 2 or 3 weeks although i dont want to
-
how many days does belleayre need to blow snow to open? i highly doubt they will make the 11th
-
bell is closer, but killington will have basically the same vert open and the terrain park. ill end up goign to bell most likely since day tripping killington last season basically sucked. driving 14 hours in a day with riding sucks.
-
they have alot of natural to build on, i could see a midweek opening next week, 11th should be a definate. i was at the first opening last year and it wasnt too crowded so i hope this year is the same

-

-
-

-
