I'm pretty sure my hill opened the day before christmas last year, and that was probably because they wanted to open for the 2011-2012 season, not the 2012 season. They're looking to be on the track again.

It was like 65 degrees today,, gonna be 69 tomorrow. If I was home I would have surfed. Apparently the waves were clean too...

Not until January for me. Hard to ski when your job is nowhere near a ski hill :(

Yeah I'm also from ohio, so it's been somewhat painful and why the hell is it so hot today?

But, took a trip to seven springs last weekend and I leave next Thursday for Vermont, so I've got a little to appease me until they open up here.

I still have not been skiing :(   My home mountain opened for the weekend, but was forced to close due to raising temperatures.  Sadly, I couldn't even go to that due to college things.  Oh well, in a week I'll have a month and a half to ski all I want.

so I guess the verdict is: NY is not doing too hot, NJ is TOO hot, and Ohio just blows cones. MN is getting colder, so I have nothing to complain about! We had a scare the last couple days though.

My mountain opened. But I haven't been able to buy a pass yet. It will probably be closing soon though if it doesn't get cold soon.

we need at least 6 more inches, and the forecast is currently dry dry dry. and COLD. too cold for the hills to open even if there was enough snow. maybe you guys in ohio can trade us about 40 degrees. we could use a good spell of zero degree weather to warm things up!

this is like asking if anyone lives in the midwest.

I live in Columbus, OH where it was 65 degrees today and the low tonight is 34.
First time I will get to ski is at Keystone in a week. stoked

My hill opened but I didn't have time to go unfortunately. Only like 2 runs though, and it rained yesterday so it's probably all ice now if anything.
