Great Skiing and Riding

Just went for a pretty substantial mountain tour skiing Ramrod, Sundance, Wrangler, Chisholm Trail, Lenawee Face, and Dercum's Gulch. The sun has popped out and the place looks spectacular. Mother Nature has been very kind.

Right now the snowmakers are pulling the snowmaking equipment off of Ramrod. In the photos you can see some huge "whales" they made down there. Tonight the cat drivers are going to push out the whales and put a final groom on the trail. Ramrod will open first thing in the morning Thursday.

We have made a slight adjustment to the snowmaking plan. Sundance is skiing great. Tonight we are going to put a few guns on the trail to make its opening just a bit more sustainable. You can look forward to seeing it open soon, probably late Thursday or Friday. Stay tuned.

The Upper Mountain looks really good. Since there is so much natural snow up there, I think we will have to make less snow than we usually do to get it open. Aside from Sundance, the rest of the snowmaking will be focused on Lenawee Face and Dercum's Gulch. Enjoy the photos.
