Opening day predictions

[ndye]

So tomorrow is Oct. 1st, the month where we generally see a few white ribbons of death popping up across the east coast. Now what is to be cared about: where will the first one pop up? Predictions? long term weather patterns developing? We just need one real good cold front and we could be skiing within a few weeks.

This is mostly just for hype, but also, I would love to see if anyone knows of any long term weather forecasters which track pressure systems and fronts which have the potential to hit the east coast.

I have my life savings on Sunday River.

Mt. snow launch pad doesn't count.

[ndye]

long term weather looks dry and warm

I think sunday river will pull this off, but not till probably halloween

Sunday River, afternoon of the 24thTop to bottom by Saturday

 

[BROSEIDON]

i predict it either will snow, or snow will be made sometime this fall somewhere in New England

 

[kvan]

If Sunday River opens before halloween then I'll be pumped. They better get their shit together with putting up halfway decent features this year though.

Sunday River intended to blow snow a couple of weeks ago but when they flipped the switch the power circut blew.

hahah that's unfortunate.

I say sunday river right around halloween

 

[.squirrely.]

long range forecast does not look good at all

theyre never accurate though

 

[ndye]

From what I have seen, the weather pattern will be experiencing a major shift in about a week, and we may see temps cold enough for some legit snow making.. fingers crossed.

And a possibility of a major Nor'Easter. Fuck yes East Coast!

 

[GaryColeman]

Another October snow storm? i would be so pumped.

 

[galardogod]

There was one predicted for the 20-24 range bit it disapated

 

[klibs]

WILL SUNDAY RIVER OPEN NEXT WEEKEND???

 

[slugworth]

if the river is open I'm coming back to maine

 

[ndye]

fingers crossed my friend.

 

[Charlie_Kelly]

If you show up im gonna spray the shit right out of you.

 

[BROSEIDON]

I have a feeling sunday river might open this weekend, they should be able to blow snow almost every night this week starting tomorrow.

 

[klibs]

Thats what I like to hear.

 

[galardogod]

Ehhh can they open with highs in the mid 40 low 50s

 

[BROSEIDON]

at the elevations where they first open its going to be 20s and 30s

Good point

 

[.frenchy]

Mount Snow or SR?

 

[ndye]

Looks like Killy and the River are going to duke it out old fashioned style for opening first

 

[1337]

I bet killy opens a day earlier, they are way more capable and sit at a higher (+ colder) location

 

[Charlie_Kelly]

Either or both probably.

 

[SkierX]

Friday at K for passholders. Saturday for everyone else.

Your move Sunday River.
