Are my webcam eyes playing tricks on me or are they making snow at the summit at Sugar?

It indeed looks like it has begun.

Hears to hoping for a few turns this weekend.

Massanutten blowing all the way to the bottom. In the 20s on the mountain as of 9:00am Nov. 11. Maybe they will be able to open next Saturday, Nov. 18. Often only open with Southern Comfort and Lower Showtime. With more water available, maybe they can blow Upper Showtime too.

I was at Massanutten this afternoon until they closed lifts at 5...outstanding opening, multiple routes top to bottom including their advanced terrain ... wintergreen was excellent to but shorter since highlands is not open

Based on my experience at Mnut the last 10 years, there is more than enough snow. I'm expecting at least one more trail to be opened by Christmas week. Usually it takes longer to get a deep enough base established on Geronimo to withstand warm days. The added water supply means more fire power when the temps are cold enough. There have been more day time opportunities than recent years. So the relatively late opening does not mean less terrain.

When are you thinking of going?
