I know the weather hasn't been great for snow making, but still looking for some sort of update on the situation. Seems really odd that there hasn't even been a mention of a scheduled opening day at this point.
 
Weather window looks more promising once Wednesday passes. Multiple days with 25 degree PM temps. I expect them to be open in 2ish weeks. Maybe less.

on god
 
Anyone know how to find temps at elevation at Killi? Listed temps usually seem a bit warmer than it ends up being.
 
We've had a pretty warm October. Snowmaking will begin i assume friday evening with Killington probably opening November 9th at the earliest.
 
Going to bump this in like 10 years and everyone will write "OMG YOU WERE ABLE TO SKI IN NOVEMBER????"

honestly, that is most years in recent history. Some east coast mountains with small budgets dont even open until january.

Snow-forecast.com I find it’s more accurate out west and in Europe but is a decent gauge for us ice coasters. There’s also a Facebook group called Northeast Skiology that has amazing forecasts for just the East.
 
What don’t people understand about when it’s warm, you can’t make snow.

This is not rocket science. When it gets cold. They will make snow. And if they make enough. They will open.
 
when I was your age, we were raiding ice rinks and screwing down PVC to hold us over.

Anyone old enough to remember "tricks for treats" at Carinthia?

Thanks! I wasn't aware! As you can clearly read in my post, I acknowledge this an am aware. In the past killington has at least updated us on the situation and that is the main reason of my post.

What do you want to be updated on?

“hi all - it’s 60 and raining. We are not open. Forecast for the next 10 days is bad. We will not be open. We can’t control the weather so who we will open when it’s cold”

Is that the response you are looking for?

I know what you're saying G.
 
The itch is definitely happening. I’m able to go midweek so I’ll patiently wait to avoid the typical opening weekend crowd.

but yes, this is typical Killington giving no updates. All they need is two nights of snowmaking, although always anticipated opening day has always been an almost spur of the moment surprise

Unfortunately i don’t think they will open this week, i’d love to be wrong tho. Next thursday thru weekend has some nice low temps even into the teens. Some site says estimated for the 16th. I’d say next weekend or midweek after

942978.jpegcan’t wait!
 
It still looks like Monday or tuesday for killington opening day and I couldn’t be anymore stoked!

WHEN PEOPLE ASK IDIOTIC QUESTIONS, THE LAST THING THEY'RE LOOKING FOR IS A LOGICAL ANSWER.

I wanna know the same thing and I've been looking at their website and insta and can't find anything. Is there something you know about this that I don't?

You’re saying you don’t know how to use Instagram?

They have like 15 Instagram story updates of their park every day. Their social media is pretty good.

you're on their website but cant read their conditions report? it says right on there they have 10 features and 1 jump. Just rebuilt today because they got 6"

https://www.killington.com/the-mountain/conditions-weather/current-conditions-weather

We’ll be skiing and riding on 2 trails today–Rime and Reason, both accessed via the new North Ridge Quad. In addition to two trails’ worth of groomed skiing and riding, you’ll find a brand new Woodward Pop Up Park, located on Reason and loaded with ten features, including a jump. The park crew worked on a rebuild overnight, so you'll find a fresh park set up this morning.
