As out air conditioners crank, the projected low Monday night in Jackson hole is 36

Are the leaves changing color yet?

[moe ghoul]

Heat Index is 164 degrees in Iran and other parts of the mideast. Maybe it'll get too hot to fight and they'll give it a rest already.

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Let them all kill each other over there.

Ride DE yeah leaves are changing color on south mountain above 600 feet.

[Ride Delaware ?]

I knew it would happen soon... I'm hoping SmartAss or Ridge Racer can send some pics of the Pocono foliage change soon...

Wow will definitely be an early winter.

Remember anything before January is bonus.

[Ride Delaware ?]

Anything before January is a bonus in PA. Now that I'm based out of VT, anything before Thanksgiving is a bonus...

If you were a world traveler like some people on this board the season wouldnt matter

BS..... I expect WROD by mid December

Shadows who's a world traveller here?? I don't remember any PASR reports for. Outside of North America.

I hope the new norm is the early openings we have had the last few seasons.

[toast21602]

Nice crisp morning in the 50s. I love the feeling of fall and can't wait for this every day in a few months.

 

Bonfire season is grand.

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

PoconoOceanCity the early openings were a fluke.

[Ride Delaware ?]

The Thanksgiving openings at Blue were a fluke, but it is rare that places in PA aren't open on some level by the first full weekend if they aim for that. I know there are outliers, but I'm sure 8 out of the last 10 years there has been someone open by Dec. 7...

That's just Doug spouting off... Where else does dumb stuff come from?

I've been too lazy (and lost all my pics) for my time in the Moscow dome.

I'll compile the opening dates from the last ten years in a little bit. Definitely a few late openers and a few years ago after a vista opening they were closed until December 26th

In 2001 blue wasnt open until after XMAS. I skied hunter right before XMAS and two runs open

I'm not saying it doesn't happen, it's just that it's not as rare as you make it out to sound... That's all. But I would love to see the stats.

But no Blue in march...

[poconoceancity]

I'm doing a week at whiteface in March.

[Ride Delaware ?]

I'm doing a week at whiteface in March.

Any pass more than 3 days used to also be able to be used at Gore. Long drive from WF depending on where your staying, but worth it if it's a little bit south...

12-13 should be thrown out as an outlier due to the gap, but other than that, the average opening day is about the 6th, which I would say is what I expect in PA. There will always be a random November day and a late December day, but on average, an early December is fair. While anything before January is a bonus day for you, I would argue that it is normal if not expected by a majority of the crew on here. I would say anything before December 6th is a bonus day and anything after December 6th is "seriously, wtf is with this weather?"
