Assuming it doesnt get rained out I plan on being up there with some friends on saturday and sunday. Im gonna have my cute little flip camera and ill probably throw together a pre-season SR montage. So if you are planning on going up post here with what youre most likely to be wearing that way i can get name recognition in the montage, or you can just find the fat kid with the shaved head riding 09 chronics and let me know who you are.

new glades went in this summer. One, "gnarnia" under the spruce peak lift has a cliff I guess. Should be some rad stuff.

Please try as hard as you can to get them to put up some stuff! Would be a major bummer if they had nothing opening day.

If you're close, you should come up next weekend for fall fest. North American Wife Carrying Championships Saturday (totally serious) and the New England Cornhole Championships on Sunday. Plus bands and drink tents and stuff, gonna be a solid weekend.

Just asked Sunday River on Facebook if they would have anything set up and they said "The goal is to have something set up if space and time allows for opening day. We won't know for sure until we get closer. When we do, we'll post it in our Mountain Report."

So, fingers crossed guys. Get stoked.

I skied it a few seasons ago. kinda disappointed all they did was thin the woods so people could pass the cliff, there are some rocks in the landing that could be removed

Could be nice in deeper snow but there are a couple kinda ditches and rocks jutting out into the trail that make it a little sketchy. Just seen it from the lift, never skied the trail.

Tru what I was thinking about was more along the lines of if okay snowmaking temps would mean a go at attempting to open even if coloring those acceptable wet bulb windows there was more warm weather periods which May make sustained operations challenging

Yeah, my buddies and I are most likely going to be scouting urban around the Portland area next weekend because I can't seem to find any jams or anything that weekend.

Nothing from them yet, they said they'd post it on their mountain report once they knew what was happening.

In my opinion they possibly could Sunday, and some weather models are even showing snow for this weekend. Just won't be open Friday, I'm pretty bummed that this will be the first winter in three years I didn't start in October!

I know SR has opened on or before Halloween for the last like 8 years or so so I bet they're bummed too, which is why I'm hoping they will try to get things going for that weekend in order to make up for it

Hopefully they can get things up and running by Sat, cause I don't think that they'd open up just for Sunday.

Yeah man, hopefully we get some colder temps during the week so it can happen sooner than later. Either way, really looking forward to preseason park, was so sick last year but I sucked then so I couldn't really appreciate it.

Getting cold up here. Looks like we might be able to fire the guns up Thursday, which would make for possible skiing Sunday. Plus our weather models are calling for snow Saturday and Sunday. That's pretty optimistic though.

Hypeeee. As long as the precipitation is of the white variety that sounds quite good. If it's rain, I'm not so optimistic about opening.

Tomorrow is gonna be the day if Sunday River ends up saying anything because they will have to start pumping tomorrow to be ready for the weekend. Temps are finally low enough and if they can get a solid base layer down hopefully mother nature can add a little on saturday. Everyone keep an eye out for an announcement or something because the hype is killing me, I NEED to know when I'm gonna ski!!

Ps just did my snowdance, crossing fingers that shit works

They still haven't updated the Mountain Report since they first blew snow in September. Also weather this morning said that the storm is moving further east than expected so it may not hit SR as hard as we hoped. I'm still hoping tho
