Opening Day set for Thursday 12/18

[KCSKI]

Optimistic considering the weather conditions and the warm up early next week, but they have stated on their FB that the 18th they are going to open.

 

  If they pull it off!

Very nice...only 26 days later than Blue!!!! Not much good snowmaking weather between now and then.

Risky. But good on them.

 Considering Montage with the exception of the '08/09 season always seems to open around the middle of December I see this as normal for them and nothing to be embarrassed over.

But they have only been open, what, 10 days?

Something like that.

[Ride Delaware ?]

They probably could have operated 7 days a week if they wanted...

Of course and 24 hours a day as well.

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

According to their website opening is still tomorrow and lift tickets are only $19.84

[moe ghoul]

Is that how much they were in 1984?

No it's to celebrate their 30th anniversary

[toast21602]

how the hell are they going to open?

[Sno Mountain Skier]

From the road, it looks like Whistler and Cannonball have enough snow. I'd assume Boomer does as well... I get out of work on Friday at 12 and am thinking about spending the afternoon up there. I want to go up in the morning tomorrow, but have a huge project at work that needs to get done by Friday. Maybe I'll get in a run or two and then go to work. If only there was natural on the ground, I'd be able to ski to work.

[KCSKI]

They pulled it off...3 lifts and 7 trails running...snowmaking I would assume can happen tonight.

[Schif]

Website says they opened with Whistler, Boomer, and the bunny slope

That isn't  7 trails. More like 3 and 1/2 if you count the bunny slope.

[KCSKI]

Just going by what the web site said....don't shoot the messenger.

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Very cool for Sno-tage to get open so early.

[Rex Goliath]

if you say it fast:That's NO Mountain

[Sno Mountain Skier]

My recommendation is not to go up unless you have a pass. I wouldn't pay for the current conditions.

 

Mainline has the best snow, but the lift isn't open.

 

Boomer is all death cookies on the headwall.

 

Whistler had decent snow, but that park looks like it is from the 90's.

 

Took 3 runs and was gone.

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Did you hike for mainline? A shame Boomer is death cookies that's a nice run. Anyway thanks for posting a report. Haven't seen one from you in years!!

[Sno Mountain Skier]

For mainline you have to take the lift in the center of the mountain and then skate over. Mainline then turns at the bunny hill and you make your way back to the lift. If the mainline lift was open, I probably would have stayed longer.

[poconoceancity]

Is the long haul running?

[pcklein31]

I was up around 1pm to get my picture for my pass, they were still blowing on a couple trails.  Their facebook page said Cannonball was close to opening, I am hopeful for tomorrow.  As a boarder I avoided today because I would need to hike/skate everywhere.
