Last I heard was they hope to start Friday night. I would guess an opening on the 12th, unless they opt for a midweek opening sometime next week.

I'm fine with waiting until next weekend if it gives them more time to bury Stinger and seed some bumps!

Also, remember, the last few years, we've been getting hit with a 1 footer in early to mid-December:

December 2008:


December 2007:

Unfortunately, December 2006 (the season that started out a lot like this one) wasn't one of them. I'm still hopeful though...

We'll do our best. :lol:

Actually, I might retire from video production, on all but the best days. And in the event of a Highway Gnar sighting.

The torch has been passed. Actually, I have an HD flip I'll break out here and there.

Friday night is starting to look a little iffy but not out of the question at this point. It looks like a lot more opportunities from Saturday night and beyond. As always, it is all weather dependent. My feeling is that we will open on the 11th or 12th.

Wifey gets a discount since she works for Cisco. I believe she is getting the HD version. I'll try to make the recording intrusive. No lighting and multi camera shoots like in the past. ;-)
