12-07-05

It's going to be sick!

Excellent snowmaking weather for the foreseeable future. We're making snow just about everywhere, and we'll have the vast majority of the mountain open by the weekend. Conditions will be fantastic for our Consumer Demo Weekend this Saturday and Sunday.

2 more days and we are out!

12-06-05

Hope you are all ready to go! It's going to be the best snow yet. It's also going to snow Thurs night into Friday. Be some sweet ass first runs early Friday morning. Can't wait! Thanks again to you all for taking part in this b-day hunter trip #5. See you all on Thurs!

Less then a week away!

Nov 27 2005!

Warming temperatures today and for the next few days. Colder temps are expected to return on Wednesday night, and snowmaking will resume at that time. We have plenty of snow for great skiing and riding until snowmaking resumes.

Looking real good for our trip. Also looks like it might snow the day before we go and maybe more. I Rolled up to 7 Springs this weekend and it was real nice. It felt like I had just been snowboarding last weekend. It's on! Get ready!

Back On!

November 17, 2005
Snowmaking was restarted this morning! We should be able to go around the clock at the summit right through the weekend. Watch for our opening date announcement
That right fools! Look like the man guns are back on and ready for the season.

I'm just tiring to finalize The hunter Trip. Here is the break down:

Snowmaking!

Snowmaking in Progress November 11, 2005 - Snowmaking was started yesterday afternoon, and will continue today as long as temperatures allow.
We know we've been listing November 19th as our tentative opening date... but that's always subject to change. That's why we were stressing the "tentative" part of it. The weather appears to be making a change to a colder trend earlier than in the last few years -- we're keeping our fingers crossed that the forecasters will be close to correct.
It looks as though snowmaking will be able to resume Tuesday night, with some fairly serious cold Wednesday night -- and our snowmaking power gives us the ability to build a skiable base faster than just about any other mountain. We'll keep you updated here for news on our opening date.
