GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 If the forecast stays as cool as predicted or trends a bit colder at night If it stays clear and the winds die down a bit, Big boulder could have a bonkyard open next weekend. Quote

A lot of big 'if's' in there, but fingers crossed! Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 That would be the earliest Big Boulder has ever opened. It seems unlikely. I still think the week before Thanksgiving at the earliest. Isn’t it supposed to be warmer this November? Quote

Long range forecasts are BS, but i might buy into looking at temps a week or so out. Long range temps look marginal to so-so for late November. Quote
toast21602 Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 I love this time of the year! Quote

Ride Delaware ? Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 Mount Snow is apparently pounding the mountain, but announced they won’t open this weekend. They have had significantly less run time than Killington. The most likely early season player for Peaks is Wildcat, but they have to go t2b on a 2k plus vertical mountain with a decent (not great) snowmaking system. I see them as getting open next weekend at the earliest. Weather might be ok up there for round the clock a couple days next week. Quote
poconoceancity Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 I think snow will open on November 3rd at the earliest. BB will probably be open the 10th. 1 Quote
antman12 Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 Trying to figure out where I want to take a short trip this season; Whiteface, Killington or Stowe. Any opinions on which you prefer and why? While I am a member of the dying breed known as a park rat , terrain parks dont really factor in to which mountain I would choose. Mainly vertical, lifts and snow quality is what im looking for. I would go during the week so crowds shouldn't factor in too heavily. There's a very small chance I plan a week long trip and hit all (3) going from WF-Stowe-KT. More than likely a little out of my budget though. I appreciate your opinions. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 Stowe and sugarbush. 2 Quote
RidgeRacer Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 Whiteface and possibly Sugarbush are on my radar for this season. Quote
toast21602 Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 I'm thinking about Stratton or Killington Quote
