The escalated quickly

As I type this on Tuesday afternoon, I am watching the snow whales grow & grow in size.  And as I type this, our crew, who has been already working around the clock since snowmaking temps arrived, are starting to turn some guns off and begin pushing huge piles of snow around.  This takes time.  I know all of you are excited for us to open more runs, but this takes time...especially when the temps drop, the air dries, and we make this much snow. We will have more information soon but as of now, I would anticipate adding a run like Nanny's Knob this Thursday as well as much wider versions of Sweeny/Jon Jon, Fowl Play, and Paula's Party (new large beginner ballroom hill).  By Friday at noon, we are hoping to have Lookout and Wild Finale open as well as possibly Long Way Home & Paul's Trail.  There should be more terrain & lifts coming by Saturday am, but again...this process is slow and we are working as hard as we can.  Park features will be accessed by chairlift for one more week as blast a season's worth of park snow in the new park area. Weather and temps can change quickly so we want to stack up as much snow as possible during this cold snap that we have been blessed with. This should be an awesome December. 

Annual Reminder:  Please.  Please obey all markings, closure ropes, Closed signs, and Caution signs.  Please respect safety and our policies at Welch Village.  There will not be warnings if you are skiing/riding in closed areas.  You will be taking this season off at Welch Village and maybe more seasons.  Thank you for being smart and respectful.
