Actually, Snowshoe and other resorts were NOT blowing this morning due to high humidity and marginal temperatures. So I assume CV  was doing the same. Unfortunately we cannot seem to get an extended cold spell to allow for multiple days of snow making. That may change next week.

It looked very foggy at the top early this morning at most of our mountains. Maybe a temp inversion? Anyway, we have a short window to get some snow on these mountains. I assume the idea for some is to open this weekend.
