hunter and windham

[nitromtnrep]

well back when I heard that killington was opening oct 29th, I also heard that Hunter and Windem talked about opening around mid november. since then it's been ungodly warm. anyone hear or know anything better. I just need to hit the snow. I'm also hoping for a good reopening weekend up at killington on the 11th.

 

plenty of snow pics, no seen opening dates.

Hunter is usually good for a pre Thanksgiving opening. Unfortunatly, it wasn't last nor does it look good for this season either.

I've been watching the long range for Waitsfield, VT, (Sugarbush), which is an hour north of KMart, and even they are warm for the next 10 days.

My uncle is an ex-ranger at Hunter (one of the better ones...believe me) he's been there for over 25 years... his peoples are telling him that they are doing everything they can (again dependent on the weather) to be open for the Thanksgiving weekend. Everyone start prayin....

... got a lil captain in you?

[poconoceancity]

Have they ever not been open on Thanksgiving weekend?

I'm honestly not sure... I could ask him at some point. Someone mentioned before that they wern't open last year... so I don't know. Good question though.

[nitromtnrep]

just rumors i've heard. I need to get the lead out and see some white stuff.

Capt'n, I mean it... if shawnee isn't open that weekend, I'll drive to Hunter... I'll get up at 430 on my birthday to drive... but we are skiing that day.

The problem with extended forecasts beyond 5 days is that they start taking into account average temps for those days. If you see a forecast for 11/21/05 right now, it'll mostly just be what the annual average is for that day.

ever use weather dot com? for a week straight it said 20% chance of rain, and was wrong...it's the most inaccurate weather web page i've ever seen. I don't know why i keep going back.

 

on the other hand, killington looks like it should be ok for this coming weekend, hopefully the rain won't show or will be snow.

Ski's right after 5 days it's a crap shoot. The jet stream has the most to do with the temps and it is very hard to predict. There is currently tons of cold air up in Canada, if the jet would dip down about 500 miles we would be in great shape for an early start to 05/06 season.

use noaa.gov I use it at work and it is very consistently right on... The radar functions are much more accurate. but anything over a couple of days out is educated guesswork.
