00:00 It was opening day today for skiers and snowboarders at Angel Fire Resort in northern New Mexico.
00:05 Crews were busy this week getting the slopes ready amid some fresh snow that fell in that
00:09 area.
00:10 We're going to continue to track on the conditions on the slopes across the country.
00:14 Christina Chahoop has more.
00:17 Skiers and snowboarders, happy Friday and happy weekend.
00:21 We've got some good news for you.
00:23 As we look through the Northeast, you'll notice it's actually been, all things considered,
00:27 a pretty decent season for snow so far.
00:29 Talking about not just the man-made stuff, but the au natural, if you will.
00:34 Let's head out to Sugarbush and the Green Mountains of Vermont.
00:36 You know, it's really a nice day on Saturday.
00:38 I know there's cloud cover, but come on, look at the temperatures.
00:41 36 degrees, that's not too shabby if you ask me for mid-December.
00:45 Sunday and Monday, though, weather turns really sour in the Northeast.
00:49 So if you're planning to go shred, Saturday is your day.
00:53 Don't forget it.
00:54 That goes for some resorts like Whiteface as well, where we are looking at some pretty
00:58 nice weather on Saturday.
01:00 Upper 30s, a little breezy, but clouds moving in.
01:02 Sunday and Monday, though, it is just nasty, nasty, nasty.
01:06 So don't go out on the slopes Sunday and Monday.
01:08 Not only is it going to pour, but it's going to be really windy too.
01:11 It's just not a good day.
01:13 Let's head west to Mammoth Mountain in California.
01:15 I have been loving Mammoth's forecast, not just because, well, they had such a blockbuster
01:20 year last year, but we're slowly going to start to see a little more activity into the
01:25 Sierra.
01:26 It's a slow, steady process, but we'll get there.
01:28 Normal forecast Saturday, Sunday, perhaps not great in terms of fresh powder or anything,
01:32 but we end up with a storm coming in on Monday.
01:34 This is the beginning of a wetter pattern for California, so we're going to pay close
01:38 attention to that.
01:39 Alta, you're already off to a good start this season.
01:41 Temperatures in the 40s the next three days, plenty of sunshine, two bluebird days, Saturday,
01:46 Sunday, you really have your pick of the litter here.
01:48 So enjoy and go get out on the slopes this weekend.
