    What's going ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Come on you local guys. What's going on up there? How much snow have we gotten. I saw it was 3 degrees this morning, that means they can really pump out good dry snow. Anyone skinned or hiked up and skied down?

    why the clam up? It seems like it's been cold enough. Are conditions setting up? I hope you guys aren't over at some mountains across the lake that are open? Over there skiing, cheating on your main woman, whiteface.

    I stopped over Sat. afternoon and saw 3 guys skiing down lower valley who had skinned up. Sunday the guns where pounding lower valley. There's definately enough snow to open. Conditions should be very good this Friday on the trails they open.

    There was 3 or 4 inches of snow in LP on Sat., nothing in the town of Wilmington. I'm guessing from mid lodge up they did at least 4 inches of natural.

    I was planning to go to Okemo for Friday/Saturday.
    I'm having second thoughts now... maybe being at Whiteface is a better choice.

    What will be open off the Face Lift ? How crowded will it be? Please advise.

    I don't know how many trails will be open, keep checking the website and I'm sure people will keep updating here.

    I just checked the webcam. Looks like 2 or 3 inches of fresh at the base. The 9:00 am sure looks nice.

    I wouldn't waste my time. WF is easier to get to. From Gore and below there are still leaves on the trees. Even if they only have Excelsior open to Lower Valley it will be better than Okemo.

    I went down the LOJ road and took a left onto a seasonal road and parked there. I could have gone in the other direction to Marcy Dam. I am going to spend some time in there this winter. Its great back there.
