probable not, I dont believe there were last time...

Last year they were planning on opening around the 13th and were forced to open a couple weekends later cause of conditions, hopefully it isnt the same with this year... Im guessing if they do open, it will only be 2-3 trails.

Anyone else showing up to this opening weekend??!!

Personally I would call their automated line (2545600) rather than trust the website. But really, there wasn't even a base on Onteora next to the trip, which is the only trail that had any snow.

yeah its opening pretty soon, I get to go up the 12th, lucky me since my local mountain that i'm becoming an instructor at doesn't have snow yet so we're going up to bellayre just to train and learn how to teach, the boring stuff.
