Wow go Mt Snow!

Skied there today, was early season - so any way you cut it was better than not skiing - but coverage was excellent - especially for So VT in early November. It was a pretty impressive show of snow making considering they started making snow on wednesday evening, and had pretty much wall to wall coverage on three top to bottom runs, one of them being a beginner trail that meanders all across the mountain. Base depth was good and no rocks, so it wasn't just blow and go.

Must be. What sets it apart? In simple terms.

Good to hear. I'll be there tomorrow AM. They are claiming more will be open tomorrow.

My simple understanding is a 120 million gallon water pond, 24" access pipes to a pump house with 4 vw beetle sized pumps, and all low-e or fan guns . Atleast thats the marketing copy.

Move over Killington, Early season skiing has a new sheriff.

No, just no roj. Killington brings the freaks.
Mt Snow brings tri-state, basic-bitches.
You need to get over here and feel the vibe. 70 year old women will do vape hits with you in the lot. Young guns will break out their kindest nuggs on the gondi's.
It's like the 70's and early 80's at Kmart. People still rip bumps!
Let's Party

Tough to beat, especially when Ron and the Hammer are putting on a show. Not necessarily their skiing but the whole package.

“I think we better enjoy the up” was the quote of the day.

The purple pass got another workout. They are close to 20 years old now and are on their 4th pair of skis.

Some turns were enjoyable.

Glad you enjoyed the day, but fuck Brian Fairbanks. How the hell is Jiminy open and Bromley (which Fairbanks also operates) isn’t even close?

Jiminy is his true love. He was there today telling us about the 14 million gallons of water they turned to snow over the past 2 days.

**Aldo** · 11-12-2017, 04:51 PM

this has got to be the earliest i've ever seen jiminy open.

**Aldo** · 11-12-2017, 05:01 PM

And when did Fairbanks get involved with Bromley?? hows that been received up there? judging from the but fuck comment not so well...

**krp8128** · 11-12-2017, 05:53 PM

Bromley was firing the guns Friday, and noticed the snow from the house today. They must be close, no?

In 2011, Joe O’Donnell brought in Fairbanks to operate Bromley.

Lower Twister and lower East Meadow have some coverage but the upper mountain is green but for a few small patches.

Impressive bio: http://newenglandskihistory.com/biog...nelljoseph.php, although if I was worth $725 million, I wouldn't be invested in Jiminy and Bromley. I'd want to own Snowbird or Jackson Hole.
