I really want to go skiing this weekend, but Killington is ridiculously expensive and Sunday River is too far for a day trip.  Is anything else open?  Is anything going to be open soon?  How about next weekend? 

Thanks guys.

I wouldn't exactly call Killington expensive.  $45 ticket is not expensive.

the Mountains know the "die hard skiers" will pay pretty much any price to ski asap.   There goes rent and food money.

Sunday River will be the only place open tomorrow and Saturday.

There is snow in the forecast for VT, possibly heavy accumulations, but with ZERO base on the lower mountain, I don't see Killington opening until Sunday when they can build a base on the trails.

Far from ridiculous.

10" was at the peak. The area at the K-1 base got maybe 2-3" at best, and it was on-top of unfrozen, saturated ground (known as mud).

There is no form of base for the bottom of the mountain and temps won't allow snowmaking until Monday night-Tuesday.

Killington will be reopening tomorrow at 9am.

I am skeptical for Thursday and Friday though as the weather forecast is calling for close to an inch of rain with temps in the mid-upper 40s on Wednesday night and Thursday morning.

I'm gonna go to Okemo because the tickets are only $25 tomorrow and Killy is more expensive and a longer drive for me.

Okemo had a few rails/boxes today and the three trails that were open were towards the top of the mountain.  The trails were very icy and barely covered with moguls (sorta more like "piles" actually) along the edges.  Overall, however, I had a great time and I'm glad I went.
