i agree, but i'd also like to say that EC mtns are over priced YEAR-ROUND. my 800 ft home mtn in ct (sundown) is like $45 for an "8 hour" pass. ridiculous. but hey, its the closest halfway decent mtn, so wut are you gonna do

Awesome snowmaking forecast coming up after Thursday basically.

http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?site=BTV&llon=-73.247083&rlon=-72.477083&tlat=43.952917&blat=43.182917&smap=1&mp=0&map.x=136&map.y=108

That is a forecast that takes into consideration an elevation of 3132 feet. Good, dry, cold air is perfect for snowmaking.

The 15 day from accuweather shows even colder temperatures coming further in the future. Should be good coverage for their opening and for other Vermont and Maine areas.

I hiked it yesterday, and there was a lot of snow there. It was really icy in parts, but there was a good part of the trail. It opens this 16th at earliest.
