Opening Saturday - 2 weeks early

Historically, our goal is to open the day after Thanksgiving every year.  This year, opening day will come two weeks early. Our crew spent most of yesterday dealing with a major water leak so we lost a few hours of snowmaking.  By 4pm Monday, the guns were back on and they are still on now.  Looks like we will be able to make snow until mid day today or so. Our Snow Report is updated with what will be open this weekend. Can't wait to rip down Lookout this weekend.  Thank you weather, and thank you to Perry, Emmett, and our team for making an incredible amount of snow.

What a night!

We can't remember a first night of snowmaking like last night.  It dropped to 2 degrees in the Village this morning. The first night of snowmaking is always a mystery, especially with all of the work we put into the system, lots of new pipe, new electrical etc.  So far so good with the improvements. I took a tour of the property with Perry or VP of Operations first thing this morning.  I wanted Perry to go turn on a chairlift!  Great night by our team last night and the guns will be roaring all day and into tomorrow morning. We have a lot of work to do in order to open the ski area this early in November; lots of projects to finish up; but we are making progress.  Still too early to project an opening date, but we have our eyes on the 16th...a lot can change so stay tuned...but based on the forecast I see for next week, you may want to get those skis and boards ready.
