The mountain looks great. We took a walk about halfway up Exhibition. The place is littered with Pole Cats and HKDs, many of which had the hoses connected. Brian, you'll be there tomorrow, right? You'll have to give us a snowmaking update (with pics, of course...).

The snow guns were all out and ready two weeks ago during the ski swap. Yes I'll be there tomorrow, and I will get pics if there's anything to get pics of.

I was looking at it the other day, but now I notice that their weather station thingy seems to be broken... or turned off...

Once they fix their end and I figure out how to setup the CRON job again I'll post a link.

That answers that... Hopefully they fix it soon!

32F here. It's usually 2 degrees colder at Sundown. Gotta be getting close to firing up the guns!

They did fire up the guns last night, but didn't get more than a frosting on the ground before having to turn them off. I don't know the details as to why they didn't get much accomplished, but I did hear something about a pipe bursting that they were fixing today...

I did have an good conversation with Jarrod though, he's definitely on board for getting the bumps formed sooner rather than later. He was talking about some ideas for the mogul comp at the end of the year.

Well, not so good news on the lack of snow made, but good opportunity to get the bugs out early. Great news on the bumps. Chris and Jarrod both seem to be pretty serious about them this year. Perhaps our feedback is indeed being considered. Can't wait to see what they come up with this season!

Jarrod struck up the conversation about the bumps with me and mentioned your name and AZ, so I'd say that you/we definitely have some influence...

Awesome! While I love Nor'easter and even the Ex bumps, I have an ulterior motive. As we all know, they want to expand, and I would love nothing more than to see part of the expansion include a semi-narrow down the fall line seeded bump run cut skier's left of Gunny. I figure encouraging their mogul philosophy in some small way might help achieve something like that.
