Killington is blowing 147 guns right now. Any word on whiteface? Their website doesn't say anything, and you can't see anything with the cam.

They should put a cam at midstation or something

I agree, they said on the site to keep checking back for updates, but nothing yet! I hope they made some snow last night at least, I have been itching to make some turns! Keep thinking cold, I wanna burn off my turkey dinner on the slopes next weekend.[/i]

Snowphone right now is saying that theyre blowing snow on excelsior and upper valley with an anticipated opening of the 24th. Gondola and little Whiteface lifts will be running with downloading via the gondi. So it sounds as if theyll have a real solid base, although no top to bottom runs this weekend. But who knows. Either way Im pumped to ride this weekend.

midstation looking up at wilderness and mt. run would be good.
Also perhaps a summit of little whiteface cam. That would be nice.

Can they run at the same time up there. 53 guns seems like a lot until you hear numbers like 147.

I bet they could run more than 53. During Jan and Feb it seemed they had the entire mountain blowing snow at times.

They actually had that turned off, and I haven't been able to get through to it that way, but if HPD says that it's so then it must be.

I'm sorry, but maybe you'd like to point out any similar level of discount at another local area with any quality close to the skiing at Whiteface to prove your point? If you can, I'll be happy to back up your stupid comment.

I bet this Friday ticket will be less then $48. Just call the SnowPhone in the morning to find out.

Having just one of 5 cameras on Whiteface website actually showing Whiteface is a joke. They need to move it to midstation or better yet, add more cameras.

From what it showing this morning - they are blowing snow on the bottom of Lower Valley :!:

I second the vote for more camera on WF.

Don't be so touchy. Jeez, one attempt at levity sets off the provincials like nothin' else.
For those folks w/o a pass, $48 to ski a half-doz. trails is no bargain. As for the quality of the snow, I won't bother to argue. It reminds me of the adage about arguing with Sus domesticus.
I wonder how much Killington will have open this week? Or maybe you define local as Beartown or Mt. Pisgah?
