Looks like Snowshoe Mountain West Virginia is going to have the best ski conditions for Thanksgiving 2008. Snowshoe WV has received 29 inches of snow and a total for the year to date of 38.5, It's only November 17 and the weather pattern does not seam to be changing very fast. Lake affect snows have blown accross the great lakes and dropped south into Appalachian Mountains as far south as Myrtle Beach. Another system following the same pattern as the weekend approaches. Lake affect Snow as also been helping Stowe Vermont  and J Peak with snow pack aswell.

Snowshoe Mountain will be opening this Friday, November 21! They hope to have open 6 runs and 2 chairlifts. Open trails will be Skidder, Crosscut, Spruce Glades, Whiffletree, Heisler Way and a portion of Whistlepunk. The cost of a ticket $29.00

Though Killington MT in Vermont opened for a few days 11/02/08 along with Sunday River in Maine on Halloween neither remained open for long. Killington plans on opening for the season 11/19/2008 and most resorts in New England are planning on being open for the Thanksgiving Holiday.

As a contrast the temps in Eagle County Colorado where in the upper 60's today. Vail Mt. is opening Nov. 21 and Beaver Creek on the 26TH. Resorts like A Basin and Breckenridge are open now with varying conditions.
