Hoping for a Saturday closing.

The last chair party will be more fun when everyone can stay out later.

i don't believe we've already reached the end.
rusty's good point notwithstanding, i'm hoping for a june 2 cool-down after the BIG party up top on saturday.

better to piece together saturday at the mtn sunday than on monday at work with folks who weren't there and couldn't care ;0]

I'm confident we will make Saturday and would guess they will try and grab any extra revenue they can by staying open on Sunday. Personally, I will do Saturday and skip Sunday regardless. On to biking!

Snowing on top of Mount Washington and Cannon Mountain in NH. 43 IMBY and I just turned the heat on, should help preserve the snow!

Patch the middle thin spot (or not, might be better for the duration of the entire weekend), walk off the top. Looks like a lock for Friday.

Friday Sunny, with a high near 60. Breezy, with a northwest wind 17 to 21 mph.

Saturday Mostly sunny, with a high near 62. Windy, with a southwest wind 20 to 28 mph.

Sunday A 40 percent chance of showers. Partly sunny, with a high near 59. North wind 13 to 16 mph.

Complimentary commemorative t-shirts will be available to the first 500 guests to load Superstar Express on June 1, and the Roaring Brook Umbrella Bar will feature live music by DJ Dave, free Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream for about 500 people starting at 3pm and an outdoor grill.
