Let's Open

We are going to open tomorrow, Thursday, October 29 at 9AM. As we get close to opening, we spend a lot time looking at the snowmaking numbers, pumping rates, stream flows, reservoir recharge rates, temperature forecasts, etc. We try and figure out just when opening can occur. By this past Sunday we were thinking we could get open by Thursday or Friday "IF" everything went well. Well, conditions since then have been ideal and we received several more inches of snow. As of this morning we have enough snow, so...........................tomorrow it is.

While there is plenty of snow on the trail, it will take every bit of the next 23 hours to get the place ready. There is lots of snowcat work, ski patrol work, lift op work and general ski area work to get done in that time. Thanks to all of you for your support. Here's to a great opening.
