It might still be mid-October, but Mount Snow
already has a terrain park open.

With temperatures
dipping into the lower 20s, snowmakers reported for duty at Vermont's
Mount Snow Saturday night, firing up the fan gun snowmaking machines on
Launch Pad, a learning hill near the base area. By daybreak, about three
inches of snow had piled up and the terrain park crew moved in, setting
up a small park with half a dozen features. The park opened to the
public at 10 a.m. Sunday.
With temperatures
forecast in the 20s again Sunday night, the fan guns continued to run.
The Launch Pad terrain park will be open to the public as long as the
snow holds. Visitors can secure a free lift ticket from employees
stationed at the park. Visit the snow report at
www.mountsnow.com for details and updated information.
Mount Snow was the
first ski resort in Vermont to open in 2007, and was the first resort in
New England to open with summit-to-base skiing. The mountain spent $8
million upgrading its snowmaking system this summer, giving it the most
new-technology fan guns of any resort in North America.
