So Crystal Mountain here in Michigan is supposed to open on thanksgiving every year, but the weather has been so bad here that they will most likely not.  The weather better turn better soon because before you know it, its going to be December 1st without skiing. /rant haha

Could be worse. My mountain has been open for almost a month, but I'm injured and can't ski anyway. I'd rather just not have snow.

Also revy is five hours away. not quite "down the road".....
