I’ll buy a beer in the CS Lounge for the person who comes the closest to picking the day Skyward opens.

I’ll be optimistic and pessimistic at the same time. I’m picking early, 12/21, but I can’t be there that day, so it would be just my luck if that were the day it opened.

per Bridgette's pod cast yesterday, snowmaking will start on Lower Paron's and Follies by tomorrow! Skyward can't be far behind. I predict Skyward will be open by next Friday 12/21 too. :D

Let's hope the Accuweather forcast flip-flops and the 17+ inches of snow were looking at Thursday through Sunday (lower Hudson Valley) moves north and we only get the 9+ inches that are in your forecast.

I saw one ski patrol and three ski school people hand packing (side-slipping) Upper Sky late morning today. Guns going crazy all over the summit trails. Very good skiing on all opened trails..no wind, no people, great snow!

Not to bring you down, but I'm sure they were on Sky for a good reason. And I don't think those poachers on Upper Cloud were too happy to have their passes taken at the bottom by Ski Patrol. :(

It looks like Skyward could open by this Saturday now... alot of guns were on it again today. :)

And I don't think those poachers on Upper Cloud were too happy to have their passes taken at the bottom by Ski Patrol. No sympathy there, everyone knows the risks with poaching. I love the snow camo. Many peeps managed to evade the patrols by going into the woods and out waiting the patrollers.
