Nothing has changed here on the east coast lately.. and by that I mean there is only one mountain open: Sunday River. A few weeks ago mother nature brought us cold temps and even some snow, but that changed as temperatures reached almost 70 over the past weekend, melting away the snow along with the hopes and dreams of boarders along these waters.
However, with 4 trails open Sunday River is still going strong since October 14th! While Bretton Woods and Mount Snow did open for a few days here and there, they have both closed again due to unfavorable conditions.
Alas.. Sunday River is 3 and a half hours away from my humble abode. I’ve been avoiding the ride, hoping other resorts were soon to follow. Days passed, temperatures rose, anticipation grew and now I am thinking of sacking up and going for a road trip. It’s hard to justify 7 hours of driving for less than a handful of trails, so we will see what happens.
Not only that, but many mountains such as Okemo and Loon that were scheduled to open this weekend have been forced to delay. The worst part is we all remember riding pow this time last year!
So for all you west coast boarders out there, sprinkle a little snow for your east coast brothers who are all twiddling their thumbs, checking the snow reports and praying for a cold breeze.
