i do have some pretty good news. Just finished a whirlwind weekend at Seven Oaks. Friday night was our FAF with the bonfire and the sacrafices........first annual........and the snowmaking was in progress the entire time.
then the fun........started warming pretty early Saturday morning so we shut down the snowmaking and started to address a couple......no make that three.......snow making system problems..........
twelve hours later, three holes later, three repairs later......we were done spending the day in the mud and ready to restart the snowmaking which we did.
I spent saturday night pushing snow on abbys alley.......it had a monster twelve foot pile in it at the middle of the bend........it was awesome pushing it out . Then today i pushed out last night's snow and started grooming. Also pushed out the snow at school yard.
at this time I would say abbys alley is 95% ready and school yard is 60% ready. Both should have enough snow when tonight is over........then the guns are all moving to the freeway.
so right now it looks like (about 99% certain) we will open for the season of 2009-10 on Friday DEcember 11.....we want abbys and the freeway and school yard available to use friday night........so keep checking.........and i will keep posting. setting or rails is up to Joel and Ken........so at this time I am clueless but will try to update when I know "the plan". Then next week we will focus on the snow tubing hill.
hard to believe that seven days ago it was 60 degrees!
get the equipment tuned up cause it is getting closer by the hour.......and we are pumped........and tired so I am going to get some sleep......
