Since 1878

I heard on the news yesterday that it has not stayed above 30 degrees in the month of November since they started keeping records back in 1878.........well NO WONDER we can't make snow..........but.......good news......

.....according to what I see on the forecast it looks like we should be able to start with snowmaking on at least this coming Wednesday night......which is December 2..........and according to one of the forecasts maybe even start Tuesday night........but most exciting is that the two local stations both show low enough temps at night that we should be able to make snow for a minimum of five nights in a row.......and accuweather says we will make snow every night thru December 13 which is the furthest their prediction goes out.

Question on the blog was do we think we will still open December 4?........sadly I say NO......but do think there is a really really good shot at opening Friday night December 11.......stay tuned though..........that opening date is not a sure thing.........

We are ready........Saturday we got all the fence posts in place, about 90% of the signs put in place........all the snowguns are ready, chairlifts and surface lifts are ready, ski/board rentals are ready, staff is ready..........come on cold......

We will be having our first friday of the month Friday after Five this coming friday night. I think Joel said their will be a sacrafice of snowboards and skis to the snow gods at the bonfire......umpah, umpah.....

keep checking for updates.
