I heard Nov 20 is a possibility, which would make sense with the amounts of snow were getting but then again its Bigwhite.

Can anyone shed some light on the topic?

I could see it happeneing.  I toured around the resort today and there was about 3.5 feet of snow at the top of easter chutes.  The snow was super creamy...I just wished i had waxed my skis before i went haha.

It was an easy skin up, but if your goign to boot pack it would be really tough.  However its supposed to warm up and then freeze so the snow pack will most likely become solid.

there is potential with a melt freeze for a weak layer to form, it really depends on the next snow fall and how it consolidates. i'm heading up around noon today if anyone is down for a skin. i'll have bright greenish/yellow paints, a blue coat, black gogs, konflict boots and ep pro's or if your in town and want to come along send me a message and i can prolly hook you a ride.
