Opening Day is Saturday!

12/02/10

Hey everyone –
It is DUMPING up here and we’re excited to share the news that we will be opening THIS SATURDAY, December 4th.

We woke up to 4 inches this morning, and it’s been snowing ALL DAY LONG. As of 3 pm, we’ve got 8 inches in the snowbox…over two feet this week!

This snow FINALLY has some decent water content which means we can pack it in to an acceptable base and groom up the slopes for a Saturday opening.

In the base area, our crews are hard at work shoveling walkways…and chairlifts are being cleared of snow…

the lift ramps smoothed out for opening.

Eventually, they’ll get some assistance from the Grooming Machines,

But right now those guys are focused on re-tracking and packing the slopes, but we will be ready for your arrival on Saturday!
