Looking at the weather for park city, its not looking well.

Neither is alta

Looks like all the lows are below freezing tho so maybe they'll just blow like crazy? It's definitely not looking good.

I believe we are getting a decent storm in any range from the 7th to 12th.  that is what farmers almanac says.

you would be surprised.  last year we were in this exact same position  and they were able to blow enough snow to open with a very fun jib line.

they haven't made snow at alta since that big dump around oct 20th, and that was just to check the guns.  I guarantee that Alta will not open with a white ribbon of death, that's just not how they do business, alta's all about ski enjoyment.

the snow at PC isn't that good and has been melting.  Unless this storm delivers big time, i'm thinking opening dates will be pushed back everywhere.

For the past week or so there has only been about a six hour window at night  in which temperatures are low enough to make snow.

but the season will be here, remember a bad year in utah is still an above average year in most other states.

But on top of that,  it could be clear for the next two weeks,  as long as the temps drop lower so we could blow snow more than 4 hours a night we could still open on time. 

But I want a good dump.  need to put the new skis to use.

i'm kinda nervous.  I have 3 friends visiting from CO and Indiana.  I would feel terrible if my friends left CO to come ski here on thanksgiving weekend, and we weren't even open.  that would suck.

Yeah I was at Park City earlier today and it was all rain but it was starting to get a little colder so hopefully it turns to snow and PC can open on time or close to it

Alta is officially calling off the opening day on the 15th.

Now saying they'll open pending snow conditions.

At least I'll have time to bank some cash for my pass upgrade.

That's pretty much every resort right now,  As soon as we and they can blow enough snow to make a good run, they'll open those limited runs.  The long range, not that people really go by it...  was saying a really dry november with a moist and above average moist mid december to february.  But the last time I looked at that was 4 weeks ago...
