They set the opening date as November 16th, which means as long as the temps are cold enough to blow snow,  they will blow like crazy to get things open by the 16th.

There will be a brief warmup the next few days which will set all the New England resorts back a little as far as snowmaking goes, but then it's back to cold nights at higher elevations, with even deeper cold looking to sneak south from northern canada sometime next week. I don't forsee any real issues unless the cold shot doesn't work it's way south.

The odds are in favor of the cold air though.

Stuggle to open the 16th!!
Have you seen the forcast for this week? Temps are suppose to drop really low and look how much snow they now have after just a few cold nights
http://www.killington.com/winter/mountain/interactive_gallery/daily_photos
It almost looks like they already have enough to open right now

Wow, they laid a LOT of snow, quickly.

Cold temps this week, and even colder the following week.

cant wait till my mountain starts blowing snow(3-4weeks)... it say on the home page they can open the first main run overnight when temps are pretty good. Although, that isnt that impressive since my mountains vertical is less than 400ft.
