from the conditions page on Stowe's webstie:

Unfortunately, due to the weather forecast for the next 24-48 hours we will not be able to provide a continuous top to bottom run by Friday and therefore we will not be opening on Friday. Our next target date for opening is Saturday, December 5th, conditions permitting. We will keep the snow phone and website updated. Last night our snowmakers did take advantage of the cold temperatures on the upper two-thirds of the hill by making copious amounts of snow on Upper Lord, Lord, Ridgeview, and the upper portion of North Slope. Cold air is forecast to return on Thursday night and snowmaking operations will resume as soon as possible. Please Note: The "First Trick Rail Jam" scheduled for Saturday has been postponed, new date TBD. The Stowe Mountain Film Festival continues all this week at venues around Stowe. The Season Pass Office and Spruce Peak Sports at Spruce Camp Base Lodge, Stowe Mountain Lodge, The Spa, Solstice and Hour Glass Bar are open on a daily basis.

That is def lame for sure, w/e though I'd rather have Kurt hook it up with more snow and make it that much more legit, then have some attempt at it with rain trodden snow...

from sugarbush:

Wednesday, December 2 at 9:02 AM

Cold temps have been hanging on and our snowmaking teams have been working their magic. We were actually able to blow snow in the base area of Lincoln Peak yesterday! It looks like the last wave of Indian summer will be moving through Vermont tomorrow, and with it... the chance of r%$n. If the r%$n is light, we should be able to open on Friday. If it's not so light, we will open Saturday.

Winter temps are barreling towards us and once they return, we will be running the guns nonstop!

Stay tuned here for the latest on Opening Day.

So just to get things straight, the first trick rail jam is not going to be the 5th?
Also, will it be the same sor of thing as the last trick jam from last year? I don't really want to go if it's just going to be a huge competition thing...just fun an chill.
