They do not, they have just Iliad and alpha open, but they hope to have features in Tuesday or Wednesday. They just an open meeting today concerning the terrain park with the general manager and other management staff and it went really well. I'd check out where they are next weekend.

I was there yesterday and like someone else said they only had Alpha and Illiad open.

They had quite a bit of snow on the top of the mountain and there was actually enough powder to mess around in on the side of Illiad.

I just called the 1-800 number for conditions and it looks like they plan to open the lower Pollux on Weds and more trails later in the week.

They have quite a bit of snow 1/2 way up the mountain, they just don't have any at the bottom so you can't get back to the lifts. It looks like the temps are going to be in the mid 20's for the rest of the week so I'm thinking next weekend should be pretty decent. My grandparents have a condo there and said they've been making snow non-stop.

lol. I can't make it tomorrow. Got some family ish going on.

Should be there new years day though.

It was choppy as hell today. Almost like they didn't groom last night and they didn't open up the little park until 11 am as well as lift 2 and 4. My brother and I were there at 8:30 so it got boring going down Illiad and Kereyatis or however you spell it. They picked up like 4-5" of fresh snow today though.

Other than that the park isn't too bad. The jumps send you off really weird but the rails are decent.

Whoever doesn't know, the Inspired team will be at Greek on the 15th.... "rain or shine". I know we have like no park features but they don't even care apparently. Come out to show some love.

I'll be there. Some of the park crew at night seem willing to change some of the easier to move features up if you ask them. Last night we made the end of the pvc rail higher up which made it a lot more fun to hit.

i just got hired onto park crew last week but only worked one day so far. im not working the night they are coming but hope to get up there after i get out of work at my other job. hopefully they'll try to set up something for them because or current set up is not good right now, especially after the rain we got. We have a rail jam coming up on the 18th and we're gonna set up something different for that for sure tho. anybody got suggestions for that?

Well they put a bus in the middle park. Not sure what kind of feature they're using it as. I've also heard that they will have at least a 15 foot table in the middle park.

Was there yesterday. It's a joke. Bus is 3/4's the way buried and they have it set-up with fences so you have to roll up slow onto the top of it then there's like a 5 foot drop off the end of it. That's it. There is 1 jump and the landing is straight ice.

Guess we have to wait for them to officially be bought out. I hear it's mountain creek, who has in the past had a dope park but recently let it slide big time.

It sucks no resorts in the area have the right mix of interest and resources to make a dope park, kind of embarrassing that there are far better parks in PA, New Jersey, and even long Island. The area could have a great scene.

Wasn't too bad last weekend. I'll be honest I'm not the greatest park skier but its been pretty frustrating having all the landings to everything be straight ice.

Sunday they actually had some better small jumps set-up in the middle Pollux but my hip and knee were shot so I didn't hit them. Be interesting to see how everything holds up as we're suppose to get rain-snow on Saturday. I'll be up Saturday evening and all day Sunday.

I'm always in a red Sessions jacket with gray pants and riding on last years Chronics.

I've heard talks of new ownership and Mount Snow is a potential buyer.
