Now that I have met Sno Scotty he is taller and probably 40 pounds heavier than you are.  He may call you petit.

Yeh!!!

Whiteface is skiing really well. I closed it down yesterday and when I woke up and saw Freshies!  I actually skied real powder today!  Having Essex open is fantastic.  It was still snowing when I left today so tomorrow should be even better.  More opening soon.  Kudos to the snow makers

Whaaaaat ? Scotty is a little guy ? Une petite twerp ?    

Size of the man isn't measured in pounds

Victoria open according to report.

Hopefully Broadway is next and they expand to more terrain for the weekend.

they are going to show the racers a little love next.  

I believe Mountain Run comes before the race trails.  Looked like they were trying to get snow on the old Nastar area near Tower 10, which according to Z is where the younger racers will begin training this weekend.  The older racers are mostly in Colorado now.  Once Broadway opens, they can take the park features off Fox which opens the entire width.

Probably see Mt run first so they can run LWF and then move over to Thruway and Drapers.  First race is on Dec 17 so that will be a priority.

Boreen and Bear or Wolf will also get some snow tribe action soon.  The report had Wolf getting some yesterday.  With a  bit more natural they can open that.  Its pretty grassy over there.  They also will want to get Brookside park open before the Holidays which takes a ton of snow.

By end of Next week they will hit KK to prep for the Holidays.  Boreen needs to be open before that.  After KK they can go for summit.

The cold temps on this forecast things will get good and the snow deep pretty fast.

Go Snow Tribe

From the WF web site:

Victoria, John's Bypass, & Connector are now open(snow making, ungroomed)!! Snow making continues as temperatures permit

Wolf was being blown on Sunday.  Nothing on Boreen or Mountain Run yet.  My last day at WF before winter break will be 12/16, so it looks like I could get to ski the race trails before I leave.  Hopefully they get Mountain Run this weekend because I'd love to lap LWF and not need to go to the bottom.

Looks like a 14 day snowmaking window heading into the holidays.  That should mean lots of new terrain open soon.

the guns are all off right now.  They could be moving them.

I'm guessing they're moving guns off Essex and Excelsior and into the Mountain Run area.  Boreen has permanent towers along much of it, so they'll use those.  

This was posted up on Ski The East's Facebook page. Looking really nice there boys, enjoy! And......I hate you :)jk

That's some pretty good cover in the middle of that trail.  Can't wait to ski it.

What are the chances of opening Mountain Run this weekend if they start on it tonight?
