nitromtnrep Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 well back when I heard that killington was opening oct 29th, I also heard that Hunter and Windem talked about opening around mid november. since then it's been ungodly warm. anyone hear or know anything better. I just need to hit the snow. I'm also hoping for a good reopening weekend up at killington on the 11th. plenty of snow pics, no seen opening dates.

Philpug Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Hunter is usually good for a pre Thanksgiving opening. Unfortunatly, it wasn't last nor does it look good for this season either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 I've been watching the long range for Waitsfield, VT, (Sugarbush), which is an hour north of KMart, and even they are warm for the next 10 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt'n morgan ski Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 My uncle is an ex-ranger at Hunter (one of the better ones...believe me) he's been there for over 25 years... his peoples are telling him that they are doing everything they can (again dependent on the weather) to be open for the Thanksgiving weekend. Everyone start prayin.... ------- ... got a lil captain in you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poconoceancity Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Have they ever not been open on Thanksgiving weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt'n morgan ski Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Have they ever not been open on Thanksgiving weekend? I'm honestly not sure... I could ask him at some point. Someone mentioned before that they wern't open last year... so I don't know. Good question though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitromtnrep Posted November 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 just rumors i've heard. I need to get the lead out and see some white stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastduchess113 Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Capt'n, I mean it... if shawnee isn't open that weekend, I'll drive to Hunter... I'll get up at 430 on my birthday to drive... but we are skiing that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 The problem with extended forecasts beyond 5 days is that they start taking into account average temps for those days. If you see a forecast for 11/21/05 right now, it'll mostly just be what the annual average is for that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why i keep going back. on the other hand, killington looks like it should be ok for this coming weekend, hopefully the rain won't show or will be snow.

poconoceancity Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Ski's right after 5 days it's a crap shoot. The jet stream has the most to do with the temps and it is very hard to predict. There is currently tons of cold air up in Canada, if the jet would dip down about 500 miles we would be in great shape for an early start to 05/06 season.

The radar functions are much more accurate. but anything over a couple of days out is educated guesswork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
