Darn those warm temperatures! Ski resorts push back opening dates

Stowe, Okemo and Sugarbush ski resorts are all pushing back their opening dates. The resorts had planned to open November 21, but Mother Nature let them know that was not in the cards. 
While we had cold weather earlier this fall that allowed for snowmaking and a few turns to be made, we've recently had unseasonably warm temperatures that will remain for at least a few more days.
I'm keeping an updated list of opening dates of Vermont ski resorts at this other blog post.

Killington announced they will be open again this weekend with a few runs and abbreviated hours. They warn that on Sunday you might have to walk down lowest portions of slopes, depending on the weather.

This is not cool. I'm not looking forward to only a few runs open the first few weeks of December. We need cold air from Canada and a Nor'Easter to collide over the Northeast soon!

I hear you, Chris. Let's hope things cool down really soon. I like getting my first turns in November!
