Ramrod - Saturday
There is a blizzard happening on Ramrod. The snowmaking there is outstanding today. We are going to make snow there one more night to capitalize on these cold temps. Friday and Friday night we will take the equipment off Ramrod. Friday night both Gerry and Scott are working and they will do major dozing job pushing the Ramrod piles.
Ramrod will open for the public Saturday with some beautiful corduroy.
The crew has starting mobilizing snowmaking equipment on Lenawee Face and Dercum's Gulch. Those trails along with Lenawee Mountain Lift are the next step.
And it is snowing right now.

Big Change Coming
It was just starting to snow when I left The Basin this afternoon. The forecast is for a few inches of snow and really cold temps. Snow is always good and let's hope the cold give us the opportunity to finish snowmaking on Ramrod. This ought to be a good weekend. Ramrod will likely be open, the sun should pop out, and we will have lots of people having fun. Did I mention more snow and more terrain?

Master Development Plan - Accepted
The White River National Forest has accepted Arapahoe Basin's 2012 Master Development Plan (MDP). The plan, in its entirety, can be viewed on our website at the link below. The new plan consolidates information from previous plans and introduces new proposed projects including a zipline tour, a surface lift to access Montezuma Bowl, increased snowmaking reservoir storage, and lift served skiing in The Beavers.
Please remember that acceptance of the MDP does NOT approve any of these projects. Quoting myself, "Acceptance simply means we have a pretty good plan that appears consistent with the appropriate rules, regulations, laws, and policies." In the coming months we will initiate the environmental analysis and approval process. That process includes completion of an Environmental Impact Statement. A-Basin stakeholders will have the opportunity to review the proposal and be a part of the public process.
I encourage you to read the entire document. It is long and loaded with information. Just reading bits and pieces will not give you the full picture. Like always, I want to hear from those people affected by the plan. Please share your thoughts and ideas I want to hear all your comments, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
