Drove by Sunday and the hill was open with man made snow on the bunny hill and Thruway. I skied here a lot as a teen and really enjoyed it. It may be less than 400 of vertical but it's got a nice fall line and a couple of difficult trails, but it is mostly intermediate terrain. One T bar, a rope tow and one handle tow for beginners. They may be the smallest area on the Indie Pass.

I always wondered why it's Skaneateles and not Otisco Ski Club (with the Otisco Rod and Gun Club next door).
Pete’s dad Sig started the Skaneateles Ski Club...This comes from a ski instructor at Jackson Hole who is a Ski Diva, and has become a friend. Very sad incident that resulted in the death of a very experienced ski instructor and amazing character on closing day at JH. Peter Wuerslin grew up in the Finger Lakes and headed west in the 1970s.

Bump’s supposed to Open Friday at 1pm.
Folks can have a fish sammich for lunch at Doug’s then hit the slope.
I had a blast running laps laps over a couple of hours before the rain came back. I left early due to the rain at about 2:30.
The rain this week melted the natural snow. Nevertheless, Thruway and the Bunny Slope are deeply covered and well groomed.
The lack of natural snow allowed work to continue on (the last stages of) the project to expand snowmaking. I overheard that the new snowmaker line should be running in a couple of weeks. I don't know anything, like how many additional acres of terrain they are covering, but it looks like it will be a very significant increase.
