sounds like burning man

It really does not look like it's worth the effort to put the boots on.

[hnee]

That's embarrassing. Even if the tickets are free, so not worth the drive.

If you ride park it is, and im sure its only going to get better in the next few days

Well at least somebody has the right idea....




Current Conditions and Weather (as of Sunday, October 19, 2008 )

Comments:

Here it is: the first snow report of the season. Snowmakers reported for duty last night and fired up the fan guns on Launch Pad just after midnight. They blew snow through daybreak and Gaitor and the Park Crew showed up around 8am, shovels in hand. It took some wheelbarrowing and strong backs, but they set up a rail, two boxes and two culvert jibs; a few dozen “in the know” lucky ducks showed up to be Mount Snow’s first skiers and riders of the season.

You missed it? No worries. We’re blowing more snow tonight and Launch Pad will be open to the public tomorrow, and then as long as the snow holds. See a Ranger and make sure you grab a lift ticket – they’re F-R-E-E, that spells free.

So let’s think about this. Today marked the last downhill race of our summer-long SoBe Energy mountain bike series. It was also the last day to play a round of golf at the Mount Snow Golf Club. Plus, skaters were hanging out in the Carinthia skate park. Historical: on October 19, 2008, a person could golf, skate, mountain bike, ski and ride, all in the same day at Mount Snow. We’re multitaskers.

After tonight’s mid 20s, it looks like we’ll have a few nights above the freezing mark. But after that, another spate of temps in the 20s is in store, so rest assured we’ll be blowing snow. We’ll keep Launch Pad open to the public as long as there’s enough snow to slide on, so keep a close eye on the snow report for updates.

It’s on.

Kudos to Mount Snow for making the effort, but... this is pretty lame. One still picture serves their purposes much better than video, which reveals what a sad, scratchy little patch of snow they have...

But what do I know, pro-Killington apologist that I am?

Reminds me of those guys over on the snow making forum to blow snow in their backyards for their kids to play in. Gosh I can drive 60 miles and jib with some 15 year olds. Maybe I can get Luke's autograph. Mount Juvenilia.

no one is forcing you to go. if i was a local kid i would be there is a second. don't hate on them for trying, at least some people have strapped on their gear and let em rip a bit.

and plus its FREE.
