Ski Magazine

I just read the Ski Magazine 2012 Reader Resort Survey. A-Basin was ranked # 6 for "Character" behind Alta, Sun Valley, Telluride, Jackson Hole, and Crested Butte. I thought that was pretty good company to be with. We have had a lot of nicknames about our character over the years, "The Legend", "The Island of Misfit Toys", and "The Traveling Circus That Isn't Going Anywhere" to name just a few. This place will always be that fun, funky, and colorful place you have always loved. It was nice to see someone else noticed.

Everything I said about yesterday is true again today and Molly Hogan will definitely open Saturday.

Best Skiing of the Season

Just spent an hour skiing this morning. That was definitely the best skiing of the year. Fanstasic. The grooming was perfect. Clear, sunny, and cold. We have had 9" of snow over the last four days. Not a dump, but enough to soften things up and make for some great turns. Very good snowmaking last night. The prognosis for Molly Hogan for the weekend has been upgraded to "very likely."

Molly Hogan Update

The plan is to open Molly Hogan this Saturday. This storm gave us a few setbacks. We lost snowmaking time due to the excessive wind for a few days and we lost snowmaking time to the power outage and we lost snowmaking time fixing the glitches caused by the power outage. (That wind storm was the gift that keeps on giving). Anyway, we are still hopeful for the weekend, but are not totally certain we are going to make it. Stay tuned to the website for details. As soon as we know, you'll know.

Unfortunately, I did not get to ski today. The hill looked great though. I watched a lot of folks on Ramrod, High Noon, and Sundance and the turns looked quite good. Note the mountain professionals below.
