I thought the actual opening date was targeted at Nov 8th. Does the weather look like they will expand the snow at the base? Quote

Does the weather look like they will expand the snow at the base? depends on what you call an "opening" if they are blowing snow, and you like hiking jibs, then go. if you want lifts and 1000 foot vert with enough base to cover, then stay home until the official "opening" Quote
Dan- Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 Looks like they'll be able to blow snow every night except tomorrow night, so they should get a decent amount of snow down by the weekend. Enough to have a full trail i don't know. Quote
girls.ride.harder Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 Hey librider, i`ll be there i think Quote
librider Posted October 21, 2008 Author Report Posted October 21, 2008 (edited) Hey librider, i`ll be there i think oh i know Edited October 21, 2008 by librider Quote

Word was that Killington didn't blow last night because they thought it was going to warm up too much this weekend and it would be a waste so I was wondering if Mount Snow though it would last through Monday. Apparently there is some rain coming down the pipe. Quote
librider Posted October 21, 2008 Author Report Posted October 21, 2008 Its just hiking jibs. so worth it though. Quote
AtomicSkier Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 I'm all for driving long distances to ski...but driving from Philly to Mount Snow for that is nuts. Quote
Justin Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 If you're trying to drive I'll throw up some cash for gas, my car might still be in the shop. Any plans on crashing somewhere? Driving to Mt. Snow and back in one day to hike jibs is kinda nuts, especially when 1260 is having a jam that same day Quote

rgrwilco Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 i may be heading up. driving there and back isnt so bad at all Quote

Driving to Mt. Snow and back in one day to hike jibs is kinda nuts, especially when 1260 is having a jam that same day Been doing jams on carpet and ice rink snow for the past 3 weekends. It's been a tease. And a drive up and back isnt that bad. Quote
girls.ride.harder Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 8 hours of driving in one day is worth real snow! even if its only a little Quote
Shadows Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 not worth it at all. have fun though Quote
Justin Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 It really isn't worth it, I don't care though, I'll still go. Hopefully the conditions stay decent through this weekend. Quote
girls.ride.harder Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 Maybe its not worth it money wise and all, but fun wise it totally is. A really fun day of preseason jibbing with your good friends on real snow is likeeeee priceless . People from up there came all the way to boulder for one little trail of snow and some jibs, so its like almost the same minus a lift and some rails. Quote
girls.ride.harder Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 Haha oh yes this is true, and thats why my definition of REAL SNOW is anything but carpet or a strip of icerink stuff. hehe Quote
Justo8484 Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 The ice rink snow is better than the death cookies and mad sweet and low at Blue...lol truer words have never been spoken. Quote
method9455 Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 truer words have never been spoken. From the Mt Snow Report today: 8:30am: Ok, here's the update you've been waiting for ladies and gents. Let's just do it like a Band-Aid... nice and quick. Launch Pad has been disassembled for today. Need a pick-me-up? Keep reading! Mother Nature dropped some flurries on us last night and we even woke up to a slight accumulation! Wee! We're also looking at a few upcoming nights in the 20's people! As soon as the temperatures start cooperating, we Quote
librider Posted October 26, 2008 Author Report Posted October 26, 2008 the 16 hours of driving, 48 hours of no sleep, and getting wet and muddy was 110% worth it. Awesome time you guys missed out. Quote
