Rail jam was this sunday, and they wont have any snow at the base. So unless they truck people up to the glades they wont be having it on sunday, they may have it the following weekend but im not sure.

not to be a pessimest, but i dont see it happening. For the last 48 hours its been 50+ degrees w/ thick fog and rain, which is going to kill the base and make snowmaking almost impossible.
This weather is supposed to last into next tues
hopefully they open, but it just sounds like "hype" to get thanksgiving vacationers to NOT cancel their reservations

Post the link to where it says that on the website because i do not see it anywhere.
Your all wrong the weather is supposed to drop back down to below freezing Saterday and if they blow snow they will be fine cause i hiked up Saterday and there was a shit load of snow on the Glades all they need is to blow down below and they will be fine.

Resort News: Killington Resort will be open for the Thanksgiving holiday. Forecasted colder temperatures will allow us to start making snow Friday night all the way into Monday afternoon!
We still have a solid base at the top of K-1 with snow still covering six trails. This in addition to the 175 snow makers that will be blasting all weekend will provide a solid foundation for the rest of the season.

The whole glades area, i think. Rhyme, reason, actually thats pretty much it. And the trail to it from the gondola and probly a trail, maybe two to get back down to the bottom/gondola.

The East Coast was battered with wind, rain and destructive thunderstorms Thursday, and another storm might come out of the woodwork early next week. It will be a much different animal, though. Instead of plowing in from the west, Monday's storm will form over the western Atlantic. The key factor is proximity. The closeness of the storm to the coast will make all the difference in the world. The worst-case scenario allows snow to fall from eastern Virginia to southern New England; best case is that it turns out bright and sunny everywhere. AccuWeather.com will keep you posted on this one. A lot can happen between now and then.
