It poured for hours. now it's really warm and very windy. I just called the Mtn, and as they put it...." that's three things that are really hard on snow cover. It's melting fast, but then it's going to drop low enough to resume snowmaking."
I asked if this weekend was in jeopardy. They replied they weren't planning on have much open anyway. i guess they hope to be able to maintain the one run down to midstation. Still, it's warm.

at least the forecast here looks good over the next few days. but the webcam looks pretty tough.
Is whiteface really going to be able to pull an opening off this weekend? This looks bad.

With temps dropping tonight as well as tomorrow night...Sunday may be a good rock ski day :? Regardless, I am making turns this weekend.Quote:

Whiteface insider says Upper Valley will be spotty but Excelsior is ok (as of today). Def. opening tomorrow.
I'm goin on Sunday :)
It might be wise to take the " rock skis " if you have some. I'm concerned that in the desire to get open, the snow will be really thin. I'm gonna wait a few days for better cover, which is what my golf buddy shoulda done. I may even call old Tiger up and see if His ol' Lady will let him out for a round or two. :lol:
They made snow on Ex all day above the Coon Pit. Too warm lower then that. Hopefully they can make enough tonight to ski to LW chair without walking.
