From the Camelback website, 11/17/08 2220 hrs:
"Camelback Mountain Resort is thrilled to announce that it will begin making snow tonight, November 17, 2008. Coupled with one of the more favorable forecasts in recent years, Camelback's newly upgraded snowmaking system will have terrain available this weekend should temperatures hold. This milestone will mark Camelback's earliest opening in its near fifty year history."

Wow. That's a pretty gutsy move. I like it. I really hope that this weather gets resorts AND resort goers excited about this ski season. If conditions stay good ski areas capitalize on the opportunity then I think that it could be a huge boost for some of the struggling resorts in this area. Let it SNOW!!

wow, very gutsy indeed! Hope they blast and have a great opening. Lets just pray this is the first of many this weekend and the following week!

Sno Mountain website says they've got their guns running as well, but no opening date listed.
