What's everyone's best bet for this coming Saturday and Sunday (Dec 2nd or 3rd)? What'll be open?

The weather looks promising.

Things are really looking delayed right now. These last few days were the weather window to get some of Snowdon open. Now, it'll be a race to see how much can be done before Thanksgiving. How often has Thanksgiving with North Ridge only happened? I don't think that's likely but also not impossible b...

1.3% of the mountain is (will be) open. You'll be sharing that limited space with a lot of folks. Weather this week could result in a slick base, but it looks like they could have the guns back on Wednesday night through Friday morning and then again Saturday night and beyond. I wouldn't expect muc...

They've never had a problem taking it all down in a week in previous years. It's just a cash grab. again always looking at the worst case ... as big bob said, they use that week after WC for taking down the venue and don't want the public in the way for obvious safety reasons. so they'll run a race...

Yeah. I get that. I'm a bit of diehard, but got talked out of this coming weekend by near and dear. Maybe we'll divert Dec 2nd&3rd skiing to Killington, if neither Blue Mountain PA nor Snowshoe WV is properly open, although it is about twice the travel time to the Beast. By that weekend, they s...

Here's a question for those of you who know the mountain better. Based on previous years, what should I expect to see open by next Friday (Veterans Day) and the weekend that follows? North Ridge only or top-down skiing? I'd be driving with my kids for 7.5 hours, so I'd need to set some expectations...

Not mentioned yet is the nitwit factor at this time of year - so that would be more (or less) of a concern depending on how aware/savvy your kids are of their surroundings. This time of year there is a high percentage over intermediate level over-zealous yahoos, who think they are experts that don'...

Thanks everyone. Very helpful. It looks like the final call will have to come very late. The kids love skiing, generally enjoy long car rides and can’t wait to get the season started. We live in the the DC area and know that otherwise we will have to wait until December (when for the latter half we ...

Thanks. That’s really helpful.
So, either Snowdon lift would be (way) too optimistic at this point.
Upper Downdraft would be great though. That’s a fun stretch of mountain.
