ski guyBEST BET FOR EARLY SEASON EASTERN SKIING
September 29th 2009 19:23
If you're an eastern U.S. skier or rider itching to make those
first scratchy early season turns by late October, your best
bet will be to head to Sunday River in Maine.
Sunday River made snow last Saturday in the South Ridge
Area. Of course it was only a test. Had this been an
actual snow emergency you would have heard about it
by now.
But still. Hey, they made snow to blow out the snowmaking
system and test fire the snowguns. More power to them.
No other eastern resort has made snow yet.
Last year, Sunday River opened for skiing and riding on
Halloween. This place is looking to capture the early
season market, something Killington and Mount Snow
used to strive for under previous ownership regimes.
In addition to Sunday River, watch for an early opening
at Bretton Woods in New Hampshire and perhaps Loon
Mountain as well.
Meanwhile, keep on mountain biking, stretching and hitting
the weight room to get ready for opening day. It won't be
long!
