JFskiDan Posted October 27, 2023 Report Posted October 27, 2023 4 hours ago, Ride Delaware ? said: I don’t think Killington is going to make Halloween, but a November 1 opening is still feasible. They will definitely open at some point next week. Doesn’t look like an extended cold spell hits until two weeks, and even then, t2b mountains like Mount Snow and Okemo probably won’t make it open with the warmer temps at lower elevations. Those dates above are historically accurate and probably realistic. The dominos will fall quickly once they start. Remember that time Big Boulder opened November 9th? break out the pow skis for Albrightsville as well next week. Gonna be epic. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted October 27, 2023 Report Posted October 27, 2023 This looks cool, a ski resort being built in Saudi Arabia. It’s cold enough to blow snow December to March but very dry climate so rarely snows. https://snowbrains.com/a-look-at-the-progress-at-saudi-arabias-ski-resort-trojena-part-of-neom/ Quote

People get there like 1am for first chair and to hold a banner..at blue I got to hold a banner just for being first to vista chair one season..banners are cool at ABasin and Loveland they hand out breakfast sandwiches and hand knit Jawns for the early birds on opening day. Yesterday was 80 degrees and in a few days there might be Perder in the Poke N Hoes for @saltyant and @RidgeRacer to ski Quote
Barb Posted October 27, 2023 Report Posted October 27, 2023 Abasin on opening day is not something I would enjoy. But happy things are moving along. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted October 27, 2023 Report Posted October 27, 2023 @Johnny Law this looks like something you’d enjoy. Backcountry skiing in the dacks 1 Quote

I have never see leaves fall this fast. Looks like i did nothing today. Gutters are filled back up too. 1 Quote

Early as possible openings for ski resorts even if just a bonk yard or rail garden is such goodwill to the locals and passholders…I was at big boulder back in august because family rented a house there and the big boulder trail albeit short is a nice run to lap about 11 times an hour. 1 Quote
