Anyone think that they are gonna open on time? Because last season the opening day park was amazing, But the temps for the month are looking bad. Could they pump out that much snow just in NOV?

It’s only October 6th, they won’t start making snow until at least right before thanksgiving if it’s cold enough by then.

Idk the details and situation but East Coast mountains can make enough snow to open in two days of good snowmaking weather or less if they really want to.

I know multiple times Killington made all their snow to open the following day overnight when it was last minute and racing to be open.

Big Boulder was the only hill on the east that would do this. And the park would be stacked. Too bad that’s no more 🙃

Now that I live closer I’m so sad I missed the big Boulder golden year belt by only a few years.

I highly doubt any mid atlantic resorts (except Snowshoe) will open before December. Although, 7 springs did get some snowfall earlier this week so we never know
