So far there's been two open (that i know of).  Killington in Vermont, and
Jiminy Peak in Berkshires of Mass.  Killington's been open since the 16 of
October and Jiminy Peak open this past weekend.  Jiminy Peak has been using
their SNOCOAT, which up to now, has enabled them to make up to 1 foot of snow
on a 1200 foot trail.  Not bad considering it's only been below freezing at
night.  Sunday night the area stirred up the air and the moisture content on
the mountain and the temperature there actually rose to the point where they
had to stop at 3am.  I haven't been able to get a report on Killington but
would like to know - anybody heard?  In the Boston area Boston Hills ski area
has something new, called "Perma-snow".  I've been told it's pretty hard to
fall on and that it's kinda slow - but it is skiing.

Brodie Mountain, Jiminy's rival, has been making snow at a furious rate to keep
up with the competition but hasn't opened yet.  Anyone here of other places
opening up around here?

The forecast for the area calls for slightly warmer temperatures (50's) for the
next few days and mild nights, and possibly getting back to the winter temps by
the end of the week.

Happy skiing!
