Opening day rumors 2014

Does seem like an odd time to start.  Anybody got a bead on how long the warmup will last?

Making these calls ain't easy for sure.

Looks like it's going to run through the early days of December..I feel a little better about booking a trip to Vegas now.

My friend working at Belle this season says Belleayre might open this Saturday the 22nd!

Hunter making snow on the Belt Parkway

For cross-country skiers, Mount van Hoevenberg is open.  Osceola in Camden NY - in the Tug Hill plateau - is open.  Unclear whether Winona Forest, also in Tug Hill, is open.

I can't wait to bow down before the Temple of the GOAT.

Royal Sat 11/22

Plattekill is going to open on Saturday 12/13.  I don't see anything about a powder daize any earlier.

Mount Peter opened Thanksgiving weekend, but closed the next weekend due to poor snowmaking weather and r*in.  They will reopen this Saturday 12/13.

Tuxedo Ridge is opening this Saturday 12/13.

Don't sell yourself short
There are lots more reasons living in NJ sucks but I could see if MC had to be the main place you ski that would be really high on the list

Now let's be honest, would you call residing in NJ living?

I did live there in one of the nicest parts of NJ rural Sussex Co for over 10 yrs

I had it's moments.  The worst part was the traffic 60 to 90 min 32 mile commute and the skiing.  That I solved by driving to Pico every weekend.  I spent my whole fracking life it seemed in the car.  I found a way to move North eventually.  I could never go back to that life or lack thereof.

I don't think skiing at MC sucks at all, except for the fact that many other people think this way (cause of the monster lift lines), and the fact that they are almost always the last to open and first to close.  I live just over the NJ border in Orange County NY.  MC is one of the closest places to where I live.  Why should I burn through gallons and gallons of gas and sit for hours and hours driving further north when MC is perfectly good and I enjoy myself almost every time I go there?  Why should I settle for sitting in front of this site or going bowling or to the movies when I can go skiing instead?  That would be selling myself short.

IMO, I have it way better than most people.  I could live up north and be stuck skiing only on weekends and losing a whole day if I needed to or wanted to do something else on a weekend.  Or I could be able to ski anytime I wanted on weekends from 8am to 10pm as well as anytime from when I get out of school to 9pm during the week (10pm on Fridays).  I guess if you live up north you will think that what your options are are better than mine, but if all of us can appreciate what we have, life will be better.  I value the ability to go skiing whenever I want regardless of whether the sun is out or not and that is why I believe MC is the perfect fit for me.  Most people on here would rather spend 4-8 hours each weekend driving north and limit their ski days to 1 or 2 a week, but if that is what they want to do, then so be it.  

People have to ski where they are able to. Nothing wrong with that Coach. No doubt there were times when you skied smaller hills and not Face. Sno gets far more snow time than most of us. That's a good thing Coach.

McCauley was opened last weekend and closed this week, it should be sweet on Sat, I'll have to see if the misses wants to go.
