Ride Delaware ? Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 Take the long range forecast with a grain of salt, but it looks like temps change for the better October 30th up north. If forecasts hold, I wouldn’t be surprised if Killington starts making snow sometime in the afternoon on the 30th and have a soft unadvertised opening of old on the 31st at 2 PM just to claim the title of being open in October… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s always down to the wire with snowmaking. World Cup is back agin this year the weekend after Thanksgiving. People argue on K-Zone all the time whether it impacts early season terrain. The truth is that it does. When you’re pounding out Superstar, which is a wide trail and requires like a 3’ base for snow control, plus Skyelark or Bittersweet for training, that takes a lot of air and water, even if they do supplement with rented pumps. Regardless, even though the hike isn’t ideal, it really isn’t bad, and honestly, there’s usually some fantastic snow conditions up there. Helps to be 6 degrees colder than the base of K-1.

enjoralas Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 Got two here as well, one for me and one for the older Boy. Grayson was able to get that youth pass this year after paying full freight last year, so none for him. But of course, saved WAY more than $50 so no conplaints 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 While no opening dates have been announced yet for Eastern Epic resorts, tix are now on sale for Mt Snow starting 11/18. May be skiing in 23 days. Hunter selling tix starting 11/22 - might wait to hit that the following weekend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will definitely open at some point next week. Doesn’t look like an extended cold spell hits until two weeks, and even then, t2b mountains like Mount Snow and Okemo probably won’t make it open with the warmer temps at lower elevations. Those dates above are historically accurate and probably realistic. The dominos will fall quickly once they start. Remember that time Big Boulder opened November 9th?

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) Yeah Killington prob open by 1st weekend in Nov, but won't be doing that as going to Stevie Nicks in Allentown that Sat Nt. Any of you locals hitting that show? Earliest I could conceivably ski is Nov 8, but likely will wait til somewhere on Epic in the East is a possibility.

My friend Steph is seeing Stevie Nicks with two of her friends. Funny thing is she looks like Stevie nicks and hates the fact that everybody says she looks like Taylor swift lol. Stevie is OK but in more of a DanHead Edited October 27, 2023 by GrilledSteezeSandwich 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
