oct 17 2010...a record snowfall of 18.0 inches was set at Mount Mansfield
This breaks the old record of 4.0 inches set in 1982.

Re: Blow Baby Blow !
Sunday River blew snow as well, they also are offering a early season pass good from opening day thru Dec 24th for $159.00. I don't recall anyone ever offering an early season pass before.
Re: Blow Baby Blow !
Sounds like either a sign of either weak season pass sales and/or a desire to turn the standard white ribbon of death into an even crazier situation!!! Especially with no Thanksgiving Weekend Blackout, or if mother nature is cooperative and gives a few good storms and some busy December weekends....daytripper wrote:Sunday River blew snow as well, they also are offering a early season pass good from opening day thru Dec 24th for $159.00.

From a recent FB post, it looks like they hit the Super Star headwall too.
I get all the news I need from the weather report

More like just trying to bait some sales during an otherwise slow time of the season. Very attractive to some whose own resort of choice may not open as early or expand offerings as fast. Price point is attractive and if they sell some and some people don't ever get out, win. They have several part of season pass offerings this year available.DrJeff wrote:Sounds like either a sign of either weak season pass sales and/or a desire to turn the standard white ribbon of death into an even crazier situation!!!

Re: Blow Baby Blow !
The long range 10 day weather guesses (Weather.com and Accuweather) seem to indicate we could have a pass holder opening Thurs./26 or Fri./27 to start the walkway season.

Re: Blow Baby Blow !
Killington made the Boston/channel 5 news so from a marketing/branding perspective it was effective. While I hardly expect this snow to last, perhaps it will help cool off the ground. Never hurts to shake the cobwebs off the system, give the snow making crew a little practice, and launch a few mice into low earth orbit.

Re: Blow Baby Blow !
That's awesome, thanks for sharing the stoke and a laugh! (But I still prefer Stormchaser's early season hike-for-turns video (back on a 2/27/17 report thread), I don't think any ski video beats that one)

I totally understand and agree with why mountains don't generally allow drones, but I love seeing whatever footage that does come along.
