Our team has repositioned all of the portable snow guns and we are gearing up for another round of snowmaking weather that should begin overnight tonight and last until Friday morning sometime. Thursday looks to be our first 24+ period of snowmaking of the season so far.
We will not be open this weekend. We are looking at the end of next week & weekend to open things up for the season. Again, we are using the same pre-season snowmaking & opening plan as last year. When we open, we hope to offer as many chairlifts and the best early-season skiing/riding experience possible. We also want to be careful with the warm temps this weekend and next week. If we wait to blade out and push around the piles, we will save more snow and offer a better experience next weekend.
Right now, we are making snow on the terrain park area & rope tow, Heidi's Hollow, Fowl Play, Sweeny/ Jon Jon, Paul's Trail, Long Way Home, Lookout, and Bakkelykka. We also have some tower guns running on Harley's Hollow on the east side but we are being careful not to impact the final stages of the new lift project. We are hoping to start up more east side snowmaking during the cold snap after this one.
A special thank you to the members of our team who will taking turns, working shifts, running our snowmaking operations on Thanksgiving day and evening. When you take your first turns of 2021-22, think of them.
From all of us at Welch Village, we hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving. We give thanks for all of you, our employees, and the opportunity to provide you and your family with lasting winter memories again this coming season. It's a joy to bring you another season at Welch Village.
