Sunday River opening plans nixed for this wknd.

Ok folks, here's the word on this weekend... No dice.

We've only got a couple of real short snowmaking windows this week and anything that we put down on the trail will melt due to the ground being too warm. Combine that with the lack of temperatures from Saturday - Thursday and you don't have what it takes to create a top to bottom run with quality coverage.

As of right now the game plan is to watch the weather and make snow when we have a solid chance of getting a top to bottom run on Barkah. The idea from the snow-plan meeting today was an “as soon as it’s good” opening.

Trust me, I'm just as disappointed as you are about the lack of favorable snowmaking weather and the fact that I won't be riding this weekend. Just know that as soon as the temps allow, the guns will be cranking out the good stuff. As you all know, the folks over at mountain ops are pros at opening terrain with record speed and will be busting their hump as soon as temps allow.

Check your email this afternoon for the newsletter. It will be jam packed with the juicy details and PR goodness.

It is a major bummer, we’re all chompin’ at the bit to get out and ride. Just remember that when the mountain does open, we’ll have a pretty quality product laid out to shred.
