Was at Tenney talking to Micheal Bouchard and he is up for an Alpine Challenge. He also talked to me about some of the challenges he faces. Some are so f'd up! The government both state and federal have lots of stupid rules/laws that it are out of control in my opinion. I am pulling for him for sure and will ski there just to support his efforts.

This is the lift that will not be operating

I thought they clarified that the Hornet was going to run, but only when there's enough natural snow?

My bad! If there is enough natural is correct. They will not be making snow over there. One of the issues was most of the brass heads where the snow guns attach were stolen. He will need to buy 190 of then so they are taking the ones they do have and repurposing then where they plan on making snow.

Even more critical than easy hydrant replacements:

"The water pipe is split in multiple places and the air line has splits that we haven't found yet - and is under what're the split because water is filling the top third of the air system!"

Yes we talked bout that as well. Drainage issues, vandalizing, the laws regarding voluteers and much much more. We talked about an hour and there is more information then I can possibly type.

Snowmaking is all messed up on Hornet terrain but Eclipse terrain looks okay?

I ask because I may take my son there later in the season for some mellow runs off the Triple

I bet - I've yet to meet him. As someone who loves operations and deals with it I love to follow Tenney. Hope they're not in over their heads. The ski business is not forgiving.

Xwhaler from what I saw he says Eclipse side is fine now and that's where they plan on making snow. He has a commitment there with the schools so has to.

I think he might be over optimistic at how much he'll make the first year, however, I think the school deals he has as well as PSU (even if many students ski elsewhere) being in the area will give him a little more slack than he would if he were in a different area.

I think of Plymouth State University as Plymouth State College because that's what it was called when I was college aged

C'mon we all know PSU stands for Portland State University

Located in the heart of Portland, Oregon, with arms that reach around the world, PSU is full of healthy paradoxes. Urban and green. Rigorous and supportive. Individualistic and inclusive. As a PSU student, you'll do more than fit in. You'll stand out. Wherever you're coming from, wherever you're headed, all roads lead through PSU.
