Haha

Who wants to bet Stowe will be open Saturday?  I do.  Look at the forcast for tonight, tomorrow, tomorrow night.  nothing above 25 degrees.

This is on Stowe's website

There is definately still snow on the mountain for those of you who are doubting. It probably isn't all that appealing but its a base. Its not the top of the mountain they're having trouble with, its the last maybe 1/4 of the way down. Opening saturday pretty much comes down to how much snow they can blow from whenever it gets below freezing tonight until saturday morning. The temps look like they'll be good FINALLY, so hopefully it will be saturday.

TLDR: there is still snow at stowe, just not all the way down to the lift

As long as there's snow to ride it won't be shitty.

from sugarbush's site:

"Greetings Sugarbush friends! This is Mark, thrilled to be back for the season, even though our season won't be starting just yet. We will NOT open Saturday as intended. Sunday is 50/50, so be sure to check back for the latest information on opening day."

Anger.  Death is imminent.  I swear if the first time I ski is back in CT I am going to cry, and if my mountain in CT isn't open when I get back I will really cry.

The cannon kept biting me in the ass.  Not as mellow as it looked, but super fun.  Maybe I should try and hit it straight before trying shit on it haha.  Super fun day.  Anyone know if they are going to be open this week?  There website doesn't have any info, I would think they would stay closed to make snow.
