Can't believe how well the Royal Mountain snow cover held up in the warm and wet the last couple of weeks. Already softening up before 10. @iskiny @NYSkiBlog

“The New York State Attorney General’s Office has asked a judge this week to force the owners of Labrador and Song Mountains to sell Toggenburg to someone who will reopen it and hit Intermountain Management with a $ 1 million fine.” localsyr.com/news/local-news…

These are more of the holiday vibes we were looking for ❄️☃️ . We picked up about 2” of new snow last night. We’re closed today for snowmaking to capitalize on this cold weather and will re-open tomorrow (12/20) at 9am.

GOOD NEWS 🙌 Despite yesterday's r***storm that swept the Northeast, our dedicated team and some of the best snowmakers in the business worked their magic, and we are thrilled to announce that we didn't lose any of the trails that were already open. 🙌 That's right, we're back on track! But wait, there's more! The crew wasted no time and has already started making more snow to expand terrain! ❄️🏔️ They are currently laying it down on Sunset, Milky Way, The Face, Bunny Hill, Maple, Tunnel Run, bottom of Chair 8, and the tubing hill. And if that wasn't enough, Mother Nature decided to join in on the fun as well. We woke up to 1-2 inches of fresh snow, and it's still falling. Things are starting to look like winter again! 🌨️ So, what does all this mean? It means we will be ready for Christmas Week and we hope to see you here 😀🤙 We will be reopening Friday, December 22nd! Stay tuned for more details coming later this week 🎊

Some portions of our region saw their first accumulating snow of the season yesterday and last night, including our office here in Albany. Here is a map of storm total snowfall amounts from around the region. Thank you to everyone who sent us reports! #nywx #ctwx #mawx #vtwx

The countdown continues...6 months to the Total Solar Eclipse for northern NY and northwest VT on April 8, 2024. NASA has a great link to information about the eclipse -science.nasa.gov/eclipses/fu… #vtwx #nywx #totaleclipse

Possibly the most atmospheric ski area in NY state is @Plattekill, a family-owned gem competing directly against Epic & Ikon. Could be some big things ahead, including potential expansion/outside investment. @skiandrideny @NYSkiBlog The full story: stormskiing.com/p/podcast-14… – at Kyoto-shi Kamigyo-ku, Kyoto

The sun is out we have some light and fluffy snow on our slopes. Around 2-3” of fairly dry snow accumulated last night and the conditions are great. If you are coming to Greek Peak today make sure to dress warm! The forecast is showing a high of 8 degrees today.

Over the past 24 hrs Mother Nature has gifted us 7 in of fresh snowfall and possibly another snowstorm later in the week! In the meantime, we're taking full advantage of the colder temps to blow more snow to start opening more terrain soon. Winter is here!❄️ #HunterMountain

This morning we started to splice the cable for the new Chair 3! We are making significant progress in preparing the chairlift for the holidays. Once the chairs are up, the next steps are the load test and safety inspection. Stay tuned for more updates.

OK who's the hero that's going to save Toggenburg? Back on the market for $2.9M. Sleuths @NYSkiBlog dug this one up: cnyrealtor.com/index.php?src…
