We all know it's a super small resort, but I use it as a training hill. To help build up my shred conditioning, I typically go for my 1st sesh of the season. I get a buncha runs in (I did 30+ a couple yrs back)... although they're not very long by any stretch of the imagination.

Boreal & Mt. Rose opened for the season yesterday.
And another handful will do so next week just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday.
It looks like the forecast over the next week shows about a foot of accumulation in the upper elevations. Not bad, eh?
Crossing my fingers for at least TWO really serious dumps of precip over the next 3 weeks or so. But for the early season, most resorts just need the temps to stay low enough so they can fire up the snowmaking guns.
Only thing now is I gotta get back into my workout routine. Been slacking over the last few weeks.

I know this is far off but I'm pretty much set on going to China Peak on Jan 13th. Only reason is I'll already be in the Fresno area on the 14th for a friends wedding so I'll be 1.5hrs away from the place anyways.
Thinking about driving down the night of the 12th, get a hotel then ride the 13th and come back to the same hotel that night.
I've never been to China Peak and figured it'd be a good chance to use my free lift. If anyone who went to snowbomb want to go too hit me up.
Depending on coverage & my schedule I'm shooting to make 12/10 or /11 my first day of the season either at Bear or Kwood.

i don't recall if it's this forum or not, but somewhere i've come across semi-regular reports abt the terrain. lots of fun rock hucks, fun glade riding, slow chairs, smallish sized resort. it does sound like bear, right? LOL
