The First Frost

Octoberfest at Whiteface


Tonight looks like a hard frost. Skiing is just around the corner. Octoberfest at Whiteface and Flaming Leaves next weekend. Time to dust off the skis, boots and poles and get ready for the ski season. The first snowflake is not far behind.

Killington reported a 1/2" of snow on Killington Peak last weekend. Opening day will be in a few weeks unless all that talk about Global warming comes true.

Places to ski this year: Whiteface: a new chairlift and the Lookout Mountain ski trails. Gore Mountain has new trails and a new lift. Stratton, Mt. Snow and West Mountain are all looking at a mid November or Thanksgiving Openings.

Out West: We are always interested in Sun Valley and Baldy. We Lived there for 7 years. Will El Nineo line up those fronts and bring the big dumps in the Sierras and the Cascades?
