Have you tried the carpet? I haven't but I'm curious.

Have you tried the carpet? I haven't but I'm curious.

You're going to have trouble squeezing in on the weekends - I strongly suggest a weekday slot for several reasons.


Oh, and you'll want a stiff nylon brush for your boots afterwards - the carpet fluff tends to stick to them like crazy, esp. if you have mouldable shells.

The top of Laurel Mountain 8 am 12/8/17. It begins in earnest. Seven Springs and Snowshoe have been open since Thanksgiving with limited terrain. Most Mid-A resorts are cranking out the snow anticipating the first sustained arctic air mass.

blue mtn will be open again this weekend, as will big boulder and camelback. montage and jf are blowing snow. who cares about elk, lol.....

I think it's just about time the cargo box (Spock's Coffin) goes back on top of the car.

They're already skiing in Colorado, Oregon, and Nevada ... any guesses on the start to Mid-A season?

Every year I hope for Thanksgiving weekend, but that's really rare... More realistically, it would be nice to have it get cold enough by mid-December for the snowmaking to get things open.

Quoting myself from the first post of this thread, because I just might get my wish... Whitetail guns are a-blazin'!!

 

[Large Squirrel]

Blue and montage are blowing top to bottom! Looks like blue is trying to open the six pack next weekend. Montage seems to be getting good production. It's nice that ma' nature is helping everyone out!

We'll be at Appalachian tomorrow around 10am. Will check the thread tonight to see if anyone else will be skiing this far south..

 

[dbostedo]

I'm hoping places open by Friday! May go to Massanutten to meet up with some folks .... Whitetail posted a video too... it's just snow guns running, but for some reason I enjoyed it.

Trying to get my first day in this Saturday, even if it's just a morning... Thinking JF since I have a lead on discounted tickets.
I took Monday 12/18 off from work as well. Want to go wherever the most terrain is open. Crossing fingers for Elk...

So we opened up Wolf Ridge on Saturday. Had the guns going all day because as all of Skiers in the SE know...you make snow while you can especially early in the season....The saving grace was that with the 14inches of new snow we were able to ski over on the bowl and off of timberwolf. It was great till you got down to broadway where the guns were going and then it got wet and cold and semi-miserable. Lucky for us we didn't have many medical calls, just a few tweaked knees and wrists. Next week ought to be great when the grooming catches up with all the snowmaking.

 

[dbostedo]

Massanutten, Whitetail, and Liberty open Friday. And Roundtop opens Thursday! (I'm sure a lot of other places open this week too... but those are the closest ones to me.)

I'll be at Massanutten on Friday... anyone else going to be there? Or getting out this weekend? If you are, I only have one thing to add :

Snowmaking on Laurel Mountain's Broadway 12/10:

I am posting this only on PugSki for the benefit of Laurel visitors. The picture above shows the entrance to Doc's Forest Glade, first cut in the early 196os and restored this summer.

Roundtop has announced they will open Thursday 12/14.

 

[Kcip]

I'll be at 7 springs or snowshoe on Friday. Waiting until the last minute to make the call on where to go.

I’ll be at 7 springs as well

For us NC skiers it looks like a great weekend just about everywhere, Sapphire is scheduled to open this weekend and everyone else has done an amazing job with snowmaking while we've had this great cold weather blast.
For my mountain Wolf Ridge as of today most of the mountain is open as of today other than the far left side and there is a good chance everything will be open including the Bowl this weekend. I'll be there working a double on Saturday so stop by the Patrol room and say Hi. ( I'm Paul)
