The staff is putting the finishing touches on the hill this morning. The snowmakers shut down their system about 2 AM. As of now, they have pulled most of their equipment off the trail. Throughout the day we will have two snowcats dozing and grooming. The lift crew is shovelling snow at the lift terminals and preparing those sites. The ski patrol has starting deploying their pads and ropes although much of their work can't be completed until the snowcats are out of the way.
It is snowing nicely right now and is expected to snow until late afternoon tomorrow. About 3 inches of new snow has fallen so far. The snow forecast still looks deep. I think we are in for a very special opening day.
