Projected (best, average, worst case?) senarios?

[Highway Star]

Given the current 3 lifts and 23 trails, base depths, and forecast for intense heat over the next two days, and assuming a return to "seasonal average temps" of 45F high & 26F or slightly (+5F) above for the next few weeks......what do you think Killington will have open this weekend, next weekend, and two weekends from now?

What about temps +10F above average?

Obviously best case is a 4 foot dump. lol.

There's at least a 50-50 chance that it will just be superstar pod this weekend given the extreme heat expected today and tomorrow and relative heat for part of the day on Friday. SS pod again for next weekend. It could very well be the case that there's nothing left come Easter week. We're lucky if April 8 is the closing date. Don't see April 15 as possible barring a freak snow event.

Out from 9 to noon today. The Bear and Needles Eye trails are just hanging on. Maybe some aggressive work by the groomers can save them for the weekend, but not a lot of snow to move around. Getting back from Bear this morning required some walking on Cruise Control, and just about every other trail there was close. An Upper Bittersweet is not looking good.

Only Superstar and Skyelark will be open this weekend... and the umbrella bar.
Look at the web cams, no way the mountain can hold up in 70 degree temps.

Word is -> Not coming. Exercised the no snow option in the contract.
April 1st looking chancy.

Brits were cancelled.

Only light snow this winter and mild I think this continued heat and sun are killing what snow is left. Ain't gonna be pretty and it's March.

Stick a fork in it. Pretty much done this weekend.

IMWAB-nice comment...
See you this weekend....unless you are chicken to ski what's left.

Out HD

If they run the shuttle OL and Wildfire could survive through this weekend. Superstar and skyelark should be good for another week (if projected r*in doesn't occur). After that I think we are done. Does Jay or Stowe still offer season pass holder discounts?
