They opened on 10/31, but then closed again right

snow can be made at as high of temperature as 39, as long as the humidity is at 10%. Its all about wet bulb temp. Most resorts have to make their snow at above 30 degree temps in the fall.

Rumors say Boulder is pushing for the 1st, doubt it though. They opened the 11th last season, I say the 15th this season. I'm pretty positive that Mount Snow will pull off the 1st though.

sugarloaf was after. If my memory serves me right sunday river was supposed to reopen on the 9th but they pulled a sneakattack and opened a day earlier. I remember getting home from school on the sneak attack day, going to sunday rivers website, being like what the fuck and proceeded to run 9 stop signs to get to sunday river.

It will prob be Mt Snow or Sunday River. but its been getting mad cold up here ( Plymouth, NH) at night. so im hoping some NH areas like Loon will get an early start.
