camelback updated the reports condition and it says snomaking should start mid november, the mice will be blown out with in the next week i would think if snowmaking would start middle of the month.

 

I went up to CB to pick my pass on Saturday, the office staff said that they wouldn't begin blowing any snow until the ground had really frozen, probably around Thanksgiving :(

 

One thing I didn't know till then was that they are dependent on their own local reservoirs of water and are therefore limited to a finite amount, if they blow too early and it all melts they could be in difficulty later.

 

Really depressing to leave with pass in hand and a dusting of snow on the runs, and no chance of using them for another 4 weeks, I'm just going to have to head north next weekend. Did any of you make it to Killington / Okemo / Hunter this weekend, and how was it?
