We just keep makin SNOW

Well we did end up with somewhere between and inch to an inch and a half of snow from the sky Thursday night/early Friday morning...........but you know us..........we weren't satisfied so we made more yesterday..........and have four guns running today.

The objective is to make the Drop Zone wider, so we are running three guns on the east side of the groomed snow............and we have one gun running on the west side of the Freeway at the top........to get it wider as well.

Probably push all the new snow tonight after we close.......then do a full groom.

Today is certainly colder than what we have seen as typical so far this winter...........but there is virtually no wind...........just a little breeze from the east.............so everyone is spending a lot of time on the trails and not so much time in the lodge.

Had five employees come in a little early today to perform some tricks on the boards and skis as Spencer filmed them. He will be putting together a clip of the shots very soon. I was IMPRESSED with the talent these guys demonstrated this morning. Very cool.

Open til 9 tonight.............we are 100% open.............

Oh...My....Gosh

With the snow made Monday night, Tuesday, Tuesday night and this morning...........the hills were alive with white.........and it groomed up sooo beautiful today. Kenzies Korner is now open with a new hit on Willet's Way, a new jump was built in the park and the 40 ft rail was installed in the park as well............and oh, the upper access from Abbys to the Rail Yard was opened too.

....and now they are saying we could get an inch or so tonite and as much as five inches friday.............and we are making more snow tonite too...........

It's gonna be a great place to be starting tomorrow.............

.......see you soon..........

Beautiful warm day with sunshine here today...............some more cold and some more snow headed our way for next week............
