You are actually contimplating driving 3 hours plus for a snowstorm that may or may not materialize into anything more then 3" of snow on top of grass and rocks.
There are three insane options and one sane and boring option
I will dispense with the sane one which is to simply stay home and let others go out and have fun. This option is clearly unacceptable and is immediately thrown out as it is entirely without merit.
Option #1 is to head to Mt Snow. They're already open with some form of jib yard and the new ownership has made no secret of the fact that they will make snow if possible. They will also see less natural then anywhere else due to their southerly location. Plus doing 50' of vert through a jib park really doesn't appeal to me at all.
Option #2 is to pray like hell that Killington decides to get their crews up the mountain and turn on the snowmaking system tonight. My guess is Killington should see 3-4" out of this storm and coupled with some snowmaking help, I'm possitive that there would be a skiable base. However, without snowmaking help I might as well be skiing on frost.
Option #3 is to let it all hang out and make the suicide drive to Mansfield and Stowe. NWS is reporting that there could be upwards of 7" overnight and possibly 9" in total snowfall. I'm not sure Stowe will put the guns on, but 7-9" is enough to ski. Again though its a long drive and if it doesn't materailize I'm stuck in the same boat as I would be at Killington.
