    We still have to get down Downspout to Heaven's Gate... nothing more than a few inches on there right now - all natural. Everything is set up and ready to go down Downspout to the base so its just a matter of waiting on temps. The colder it is... the less air is used and thus more guns can be fired up. I believe the low was 18 up top last night / this morning and we were making some good snow. But there's still more work to do, even up on Jester - as far as repositioning guns.

    As for prognosis... that's anyone's guess. We're at the mercy of mother nature and we all know how fickle she can be.

    Well Howie......they have those supa-dupa high tech fangled wicked awsome new guns that blow snow in all kinds of temps. That coupled with the new snow we got this week and more on the way for tomorrow. I thought Geeze maybe they would open. I mean Sunday River and Killington are open and will be top to bottom by tomorrow is seems. Others are preparing to open. So yes serious as hell.

    Just checked webcam and they are blasting the guns at the base of Bravo lift!!! That is a good sign!! of some type of commitment to get down to the base for sure. Unless there is a rail jam planned!!!!

    Driving back from town yesterday, the guns were lit up all the way to the bottom of Heaven's Gate.... not sure about in between there and Coffee Run. Guess I'll find out Friday.
