It really looks like Springs is trying to open something, because they're really focusing snowmaking on a smaller section of the mountain than usual. Finger crossed for opening in the next couple days.

Anyone near Pittsburgh:

Boyce Park in Allegheny County (east of the city) is opening today from 3:30 to 9. One day only. No idea what it's like, but tickets are only $20.

Going today. Boyce is a pathetic hill, but I have nothing better to do. They at least let you build your own jumps.

*AVOID CAMELBACK AT ALL COSTS*

With that aside 7Springs and Boulder will probably open. Just keep your eye out for them. Blue Mountain is open and they are super cool, but they are also really small.

Bullshit. I was just at springs. They went hard with snowmaking over the weekend. They have 30 foot mounds all over the place. They have a huge ass base in the main part of the mountain

Just wait till you see what a few days of 60/70 degree temps, rain, and fog does to some snow piles...

Temperatures at springs will never get that high. The highest it will get is 55 on Thursday. Every other day will be a high of 45. It will also be in the 30s and 20s at night.

And springs had a few weeks of 50-60 degree weather and they still didn't lose all their snow.
