There was also this in the letter:

I am going out on a limb and stating that we will have 100% of snowmaking terrain open by Christmas Day. In its 91 years, Black Mountain has never seen anything like this. Those of you who are riding our Summit Double Chair this weekend are in for a front-row seat to my latest snowmaking project. We are going big with an iconic Double Black Diamond showcase trail directly under the historic summit double

Today I was up there making snow. I'll post pics tomorrow. Most of the snowmaking coverage is complete or nearing completion. I lit up the Jbar this afternoon and also we dragged hoses through the woods to light up Lower Black Beauty. They were planning to charge Jackson Standard next. I believe he wants to drag to Rollercoaster when everything else but Standard and that can be run together.
