From mt snows website

Hey hey, long time no talk. How was your summer? You're probably wondering about opening day...

As soon as we get a cold snap long enough to blow snow and keep that snow on the ground, we'll fire up the fan guns. The overriding goal is to get summit-to-base skiing open as soon as the weather allows. We plan to have a terrain park on day one, and who knows, maybe we'll open a small park even earlier on Launch Pad like we did last year on October 29, 2008.

if anyone cares to know, i work for stratton right now and the upper managment seems to call bullshit on mt snow for trying for nov 1st, then again stratton is more corporate then mt snow so who knows.

Yeah I mean, it's not a horrible statement, considering it's nearly impossible to predict the weather. However, they've made it perfectly clear that if it's cold enough, they'll make snow. I hope to god they pull it off though (assuming the weather cooperates), it will be the perfect start to an epic season.

Looks like we are turning the corner on cooler temps. Dry weather overall too. I'm still skeptical of the 1st, but definitely the 7th.

They'll have a little jibpark setup for the 1st, but I just doubt they will be running the lifts.

^ GASP dont say that haha we gotta have hope
dont forget weather.com im pretty sure doesn't incorporate altitude into their temps so chances are it will be cooler at the summit
