New England Ski Season Begins For Real

We were teased with some skiing and boarding around Halloween. Now the snow is deep enough to open for the season.

Upper East Fall Trail. Killington Vermont Tuesday. Perfect Snow Making Temperature and Humidity.
Open Top to Bottom Wednesday November 19, 2008.

More than 1,700 vertical feet of top-to-bottom skiing and riding off Killington Peak!
The K-1 Gondola and the Northridge Triple will operate on Wednesday, serving up to eight trails. All services will be available at the K-1 Lodge. The early-season terrain parks will open this weekend. Light snow continues to fall and the World’s Most Extensive Snowmaking System has covered our open trails with deep base depths! Additional terrain and lifts will open as conditions permit. Check back often for updates.

Greetings from Cannon Mountain…
We made a ton of snow!
Trevor Hamilton of the Franconia Ski Club gets some great turns in after the first night of snowmaking at Cannon.
Temperatures were excellent overnight and allowed the snowmaking crew to get a good start on getting the white stuff down.
Cannon plans to make snow at every opportunity and is projected to open on November 28th.

And From Maine..

Sugarloaf will host the 23rd Annual Tin Mountain Round Up on Nov. 22-23, when guests can ski or ride for just $25 when they donate three or more cans of food to help local food banks.
