Mount Snow to Blow Snow Tonight, park possibly open October 29th

Right off there website

Game on. Snowmakers are reporting for duty at 11pm tonight - fan guns will run on Launchpad if Comments:

You've waited long enough.

The National Weather Service says temps will drop into the mid 20s over the next two nights. And as we all learned in 2nd grade, that is below the freezing mark. Randy and the Miracle Makers are reporting for duty at 11pm tonight, and they will most likely fire up the fan guns on Launchpad in the wee hours of the morning.

And oh yes, we planned ahead. The mowing team has kept the grass on Launchpad buzzed short, so it won't take much snow to get 'er open. Remember last year, we opened a small terrain park on the Pad on October 29? We'll probably do that again.

Stay tuned in the coming days - winter is coming early.

-Luke forecasts hold.

^ those were the plans... but.....

The temps are acting temperamental tonight so we won’t be making snow. Boo, temps. However, Mother Nature might drop some flurries on us tonight and we could even wake up to a slight accumulation! Wee! As soon as the temperatures start cooperating, we’ll be firing up our guns

yeha it was raining a little at the bottom, but driving back into the storm it started to rain hard, so i wouldnt be suprised if they get a good coating especially up top (and at killy n places).


i know its been said but thanks again ms. the crew is just as stoked to get the park up n running as we are to ski it, and they're awesome people, so props to ms staff.

Call ahead, because it's supposed to POUR this weekend.

I hope it works out though for you guys as it'd be great for skiers, and great for the charity.

Mt Snow is doing a great job.

cmon now are you fer cereal? there's going to be a LIFT, SNOW and JIBS. 10 to charity is nothing considering the money mt snow is putting into this for us, and it's not even touching their pockets.

obviously you didnt read my post. i said its not a big deal, but i was jw. read before you post dumb shit like that.



and yes cap, ^ that is from this morning.


and just 12 minutes after posted, this is the update from ms.com:


UPDATE 1:00pm: I just got word that the lift will NOT be turning tomorrow. Launch Pad should still have a hike-able terrain park open to the public and because we're not carting you to the top, it's still FREE! Now you can drop that extra cash on some fresh gear at Backside Snowboards. Just a suggestion...

Good morning everyone! I’m stoked. Why? Because we blew snow last night. That’s right, snow. The weather was in our favor last night and we were able to blow about 2-3” over on Launch Pad. In fact, our snowguns were running till about 8:00 this morning. Crazy, right?? Our park crew is out there right now installing some jibs, so here’s the official news:

A hike-able terrain park on Launch Pad is OPEN today!

I told you I was stoked, and now you know why. Come out today and get jib-nasty with Mount Snow.


Today, temperatures will be in the 40’s to 50’s, so if you plan on skiing or riding today, make sure you don’t bundle up like that kid on A Christmas Story.
