As of 12/2, snowmaking is fired up again on Mt. Ellen. Temps are good today, but the wind will prove difficult. Tomorrow looks calm and cold, and should be great snowmaking. Monday night is supposed to be in the single digits on the mountain, so that will be fantastic!

Strange that it doesn't seem to snowing up there. Composite radar out of BTV seems to indicate that SB is getting hit pretty good.

Man, I love the sight of snowguns a-blazing away.
All it takes is the right cloud to take a pit stop over lake champlain, and hang out over here for a two or three hours, and we could have 6" of snow just like that. Hopefuly a few decide to do that, but dump all night long.

Another day on the farm, for the lucky few, minus the smell of manure wafting through the air.


Anyway it looks like they are making progress with the snowmaking, I hope things will
all be set for a Monday Opening.
