If I'm not working T-day, I might go make a couple of turns at PCMR. Staff is working extra hard to get enough snow down and groomed to open a couple more runs for the weekend. Grooming Dept. is rotating the guns that are on, so they are running 24/7. Yesterday, it was hard to hear down at First Time lift (where I worked) because of all the guns going. The new terrain park crew has set up a temporary park on the lower mod part of Home Run so even the park rats have a place to play right now. I was surprised how many people we had out there skiing yesterday. Lots of lessons going on, too. And, that was a Monday! So, I'm guessing some families have started their T-day holiday early.
I'm on as a "TBD" for Thursday - it depends on whether or not management decides the guest load will be heavy enough to add extra staff. It's usually one of my days off, but my boss asked me if I'd be willing to work. Never turn down a chance to make some money...

"doomed" :ROTF:
Not skiing on T-day but will drive up leisurely on Saturday (a blackout pass day), maybe stop in Manchester to do a little Christmas shopping, hang out Sat eve and ski Sunday (crossing fingers). There will probably be man-made stuff on Northridge at K-Mart.

I won't be skiing on the day itself, but I will be heading up Friday afternoon to stay with Lilabear and ski Saturday and Sunday. I'm hoping that they get enough snow (or make enough) to open a few more runs by this weekend. If not, I may toss my snowshoes in the car as a back-up plan!

Vermont bound- Thanksgiving
I am new to site and enjoying the posts and community. Live at the NJ Shore and spending Thanksgiving weekend at Stratton, VT after a wonderful trip last year. At least bringing family and grandchildren, we will have some fun anyway, but craving snow. Began skiing five years ago, after 20 years. Spent 30 days last season between VT and UT This years goal is to explore new mountains!

No skiing here over Thanksgiving - no snow. It can't get cold here quick enough for me.

Monarch opens for the season tomorrow, so I'll get out for a few hours just to christen the season. Then on Thanksgiving day I'm going to Copper with my DS and his girlfriend while my DH and my other DS go to the football game in Denver. Then the rest of the weekend is up in the air, but probably will include at least a couple of other half days, just because we're open and my younger DS is dying to ski!

DS and I were thinking of skiing tomorrow, but the local resorts in SoCal only have the WROD and those look kind of crowded.
We will hold out for more terrain later - but we will probably be so busy that we'll just wait 'til we get to Snowbasin in late December. Thankfully they are opening Thursday, having had the same great snowmaking window we've had. Cold in the mountains + low humidity + moderate daytime temps = snowmaking!

No Thanksgiving skiing for me this year, but I'm thinking back fondly to last year when I visited friends in Colorado for turkey day.
It was snowing and I took some runs at Aspen Mt. in 8 inches of chopped up powder and then got to watch one of the Women's World Cup GS races. That was a blast! If you've never seen World Cup racing in person, you should really try to make a point of it. It's amazing to see these elite skiers in action up close.
Not sure where the World Cup events are this year . . . .

The women are back in Aspen this weekend, actually.
Both Fernie and Revelstoke are having preview weekends over American Thanksgiving. So, up here in the Canadian Rockies it's going to be a sweet weekend. The preview lift ticket prices aren't up for Fernie yet but at Revy (where we are planning to go) it's going to be $50 tickets. Here's hoping the snow keeps coming and makes for awesome ski seasons across the board.
