So Nice

It is so nice to be open to the top. This coming week, the Snowmakers will work on "fattening up" Lenawee Face and Dercum's Gulch and get started making snow on Upper Sundance and Lower Wrangler. 

 

Lenawee Will Open Sunday

Lenawee Lift, Lenawee Face and Dercum's Gulch will open Sunday. I am not exactly sure what time it will open, but hopefully by Noon.

We needed one more good night of snowmaking Friday to make this happen. The forecast was not great. True to forecast, temperature only got down to about 31F. Lucky for us, the relative humidity was very, very low and brought the wet bulb temperature down to about 21F. Kudos to Bill LeClair and the Snowmaking Team for taking full advantage of the weather and laying some nice snow down where we needed it most. 

Enjoy the Upper Mountain.

 

Time For The Snowcats

Friday we turned the snowcats loose on the Upper Mountain. While we have been travelling up there with the cats, we just starting dozing on Friday. Scottie and Dorse are really putting the trail together. The snowmaking work has been very good. Still have some work to do at the bottom of Lenawee.

Looks Good

While not quite as cold as Wednesday night, last night still had some pretty good snowmaking. Overall, Lenawee Face and Dercum's Gulch look close to be being ready. We are focused on a couple of weak spots including the area around the bottom of the lift.

 

Another Great Night

 We are getting so much closer to the top.

 

More Snowmaking

We had a fairly decent night snowmaking on the Upper Mountain. We kept running all day and tonight looks to be better. The clouds are expected to clear off some and the temperature should get close to, if not in, the teens. That would be very good. We are very focused on getting Lenawee Mountain Lift open, but we need a few more good nights of snowmaking.

 

Snowy Tuesday

We are enjoying a beautiful, snowy day. This storm has been good to us and we anticipate some cold snowmaking temperatures this evening. I came up on my day off yesterday and made some turns purely for fun - no work involved. I enjoyed the heck out of it.

More and More Like Winter

The place looks more and more like winter every day. The new hut looks pretty too.
