Cool. I have been unable to use from my Android, which I guess the mobile version will rectify

If a place in your neighborhood that you have already paid for a pass to had that you would ski it, eh?

How is your future outlook at present?

What about Hunter's mid station cam (the only one you can really get a good view of the trail from) doesn't look terrible? The lack of crowds is a plus I guess.

Sometimes not showing pictures is the better marketing move, as long as you aren't counting on getting repeat customers

Woukd be interested in seeing some pix I admit. Almost headed up there today but I could not believe it would be decent. If you look at Hunter's Web cams, it is hard to believe they are selling tix to ski that. And even harder to believe they are letting folks ski it on their rentals. Sort of like a WROD but with frayed edges and rocks poking through.

At CB, folks walking across the snow to the Coaster are significant and oblivious obstacles to skiers trying to keep up theor momentum to make it to the lift without skating.

As long as too many of them don't turn perpendicular to the fall line on an expert slope and slide down that way scraping off all the loose snow. I blame the weather for bringing out all the otherwise supressed hostility between fans of different forms of alpine snow based recreation.

We still have Alta, right? You guys totally killed VV/GG.

Funny the ski slopes that have annoyed me are the ones that have started letting air boarders, fat bikers, mountain coaster riders, and/or snowboarders in. What part of ski slope do they not understand.

How much of the trail will have park features vs free skiing? And can you give any idea how shaky conditions are? Might well hit it.

I had a nice bike ride

So nowhere day trippable actually opened today. Hunter has reconfirmed opening for tomorrow. Belleayre, Windham and Plattekill still say they will, but have not updated sited yet today, so I am taking it with a grain of salt.

Yes I am one of the chosen people. But I will not be choosing to drive to Killington or further for what they have to offer on Xmas. Might consider going back to Catskills on Sat or Sun. Also hoping to find a day trippable place to ski with kids on either the 30th or the 3rd.

Xmas is usually one of my fav days to ski as lines are non-existent and usually somewhere is offering a deal. Unfortunately this year something else is non-existent.

Every year I ski on Xmas day, but I am afraid this year it will be water skiing.

Interesting, I checked and Google has Mt. Snow being slightly closer (Okemo is farther). Of course in general I would rather spend more time driving North than East, and the crowds tend to be lighter at Gore. But this season is really resort specific judging which has the least crap conditions. Suspect with the way things are looking, nowhere will be worth hitting on Xmas. Maybe hit something Sat or Sun depending on what things look like, when there will at least potentially be closer options.

With Belleayre now saying they reopen on the 26th, I think the closest Xmas option is Gore.

I don't give much weight to a forecast more than 5 days in advance.

On FB Blue posted they are closed for rest of 2015

I would never pull out phone on lift. Too worried about dropping it.

Bright side is with Elk's 100 day guarantee this means they will be going into April if they can

12/25 Belleayre 12/26 Hunter Windham Plattekill (school hill and tubing only at first) And add Shawnee to list opening today 12/21 (but school hill only) Add more to thread as announced

Sorry, not really my thing, would rather focus on the skiing and leave my phone protected in a pocket, and don't know how to post them here anyway. Just providing info. If you want a pic of Belleayre yesterday there is a review with a photo at onthesnow.com

So did Blue basically get played by CB here?
