Come on the Stairway to Heaven is good workout!!! I have even skinned back up GN to ride down.

Have done the stairs and yes it is a good calorie burn! However, the lift line is killer on opening day... lots of people on 6 or so runs - Great vibe though!

Who knows - it depends on how much we are josin'!

I'll go out on a limb here & say they will open Wed. or Thurs. next week. Starting Mon. evening night time temperatures look favorable for snowmaking.


The days are not looking to be about 40 at 3559'. I doubt they go for it. I would love it if they did, but not likely. There is no rain in the forecast for the week though.
