Reply With QuoteI would doubt it. Looking at the 2900' 10 day shows that, although the nights look good, every day will be above freezing. And their target opening is Thanxgiving. Doubt they'll start this early with warm temps.
Still, not too early for the snow dancing to begin.

Two roads diverged in a wood,
and I- I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

I wouldn't be so sure. A low of 17 followed by a high of 35 is not that bad at all. The next couple of days look similar. It's certainly within the realm of possibility.

We supposed get a bunch of rain for the next 2 days which will impact starting on Sunday night despite the cold temps overnight on Sunday. Another neg is we just finished with a bout of indian summer, the ground needs to cool off abit. Still plenty of time. The resorts that have announced 11/10-11/15 openings are under more pressure to fire up the guns.

It wasn't a question of believing, it was a question..........you know. Course we have to have the temps so nothing 100% certain until tomorrow night. Originally Posted by BushMogulMaster

Temps are looking good right now. Low of 15 is certainly nice. Of course, the RH is supposed to be between 90 and 100% the whole time. But 15 degrees with 100% RH is still 15 degrees wet bulb. That would still be fantastic snowmaking.
Looks like they'll have startup temps by around 9:00PM Sunday. Once they're started, based on the weather graph, they should be able to blow straight through until around 6:00AM Tuesday morning.

Just read on the Bush's web site that Stein will be honored at a NE Ski Museum event being held at the Gate House. Are they gunning to be open if possible for this? How great would it be to get him out on the mountain again.... Just a thought. The 17th is only 5 days or so earlier than originally planned.

Little hard to hear from my perch in NY. Are the guns ablaze?

Steam from the compressor building.
.
Two roads diverged in a wood,
and I- I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Or at least step out on the deck...
Guns on Jester, working their way down.
