When will Killi/any EC place open?

**Dexter Rutecki** · 10-27-2006, 07:11 AM

I had assumed sometime around now, but just saw a forecast for Rutland that had highs in the fifties next week, so I doubt they'll make snow (my understanding is that they don't start now until they think they can stay open top to bottom).
Further north looking better?
I'm guessing Killington will be mid-November, dammit.
I used to count on having skied there by mid-October.

I need a cheap flight to Denver.

I've heard rumors of killington starting the guns Sunday, their budgeted opening is Nov 5th, so that would be the earliest I could see them opening. If not then I would expect that they're going to be open Vets day weekend as usual

PM K-stormchaser, he seems to have the inside scoop.

Stowe and Jay both trying for a nov 18 opening. Neither one has started blowing snow yet.

Me too! I've been looking for cheap flights from Philly for the past 2 weeks. I really want to head out next weekend. Cheapest flights seems to be around $200 round trip. I would need some super-cool maggot dudes to hook up with in Denver though and a place to crash...
