Ski Southeast Messageboard

I haven't made an opening day in several years but I did so today. Mike and I were at Cat for the festivities and it felt good to do an opening day again. I was surprised at how much snow they had made. I think this happens every year at the start of the season. It was a combo of 70 degree temps here in Huntersville on Friday and the fact that I forgot just how good snowmaking is nowadays. It's pretty crazy to see what they can do in 36 hours.

Admittedly, I don't go to Cat very often. So when I arrived and saw snowmaking to 3/4 station and heard they had 5 trails open, I assumed they were open to the 3/4 station. I mentioned this on the live broadcast. Woops. I was wrong. Halfway station was what they were offering. Still fun and better than being at a desk all day, but I won't lie I was a little bummed. Either way, it felt great to get back on the snow. I'm leaving for Cali tomorrow for a week so I was happy to get in a day before I leave. Already looking forward to Beech next weekend.

I wouldn't be surprised to see them open to 3/4 station tomorrow based on snowmaking I saw today. The season is a go...wooo!

Only in NC would that amount of terrain pass as 5 runs. Sugar apparently opened too!

Looks like fun. I was off yesterday and thought abt heading up but decided against. Kinda wish I hit day 1 for them too

Kendog- It was very difficult to be at work on Monday knowing that the slopes were open. You guys definately added salt to the wound with the live broadcast and constant stream of pics on Instagram! But on a serious note the live broadcast was awesome, keep them coming! Can't wait to get out there!
