35 here, but a straight rain still. I'm hoping the magic happens in the next hour or so.

Snow at Sudnay river

Just makes it worse to be stuck at the office and see these pictures but Im like an addict and cant help myself.

Joshua · Oct 25, 2005

I think it has been made clear that was my opinion

I still dont see why with over a foot of freshies and the ability to blow some fake stuff they couldnt open thursday, or at least for the weekend

Because when a foot of natural is groomed, it's far from a foot...more like a couple of inches. Even if they got 2', onced groomed it will be like an 8" base. That's not quite the "quality product" they hope to offer on opening day.

He's just teasing you a little.

As for whether or not they can open, there's a "could" and there's a "will." I'm guessing they wouldn't even with three feet of new snow just based on the difficulty of scraping together a crew and throwing the lifts open when the truth is that only the die-hards would come up this early.

Joshua · Oct 25, 2005

why groom it? If the terrain if for advanced only, whats the point? leave the bumps and let us ski!!!

Because there are thousands of gapers out there with A41s who'll kill themselves. If you want to make some turns this week/weekend, earn 'em.

Exactly.

There's not a chance in hell they would leave it ungroomed. Not all advanced skiers like bumps either.

Who cares if they don't open - go hike for your turns. Even when KMart opens I'd rather hike for my turns at this point of the season.
