Is this a bad thing?

Unless its on an overcrowded trail and they aren't looking before they hit it, I don't see the issue.

Riding HG will be fun with Ripcord guns on. But at least it is getting covered!

Farwell to the cheese grater entrance, it was spicy while it lasted.

Now they are selling "The Fifty 8 Reserve" by the day, same thing they did with early ups, once people bought in for the season at full price they started to sell it on a day by day basses, however this was never mentioned to you when you ponied up the full price for the season, just a bad move in my book, live & die on the sword you chose, kind of a slap in the face for the customers that bought in.
However I know it all about the mountain making money, so just change the rules if you don't like the results.

Thats one of the finest , most accurate trail entrance descriptions I've ever read.

Marketing dept. needs to get to local tv stations...they just listed SBH trail counnt as 43 trails (39%), one of the lowest in the state.... Not that anyone watches TV news anymore, but in any case, not a good look

North lodge, main floor, more chairs please!

Skiing not bad with sharp skis but COLD today. Good fireworks last night

We skied the Ripcord gunpowder NYE day. It was nice but it is nicer to see what you’re skiing. Lol.

Did 10 laps on it yesterday, it was a mental game for sure.

Found it amusing that there was a typo other day on the conditions report that listed the trail count at 533 trails...with all natural closed.

Just looked at the summit webcam for a minute. Looks like some interesting whales on Ripcord now that they turned the guns off and you can see the trail! Also saw someone starting to go down Paradise that has absolutely no business going down Paradise. They were literally skiing back and forth the entire width of the top part and looked to be struggling at that. I don't know what they plan to do when they actually hit the downhill part after the ridge run part.

Awful good temps for no snowmaking at Lincoln right now. I would think they would want to get N. Lynx asap.

Per the report they're moving back to Stein's tonight. I don't really understand some of the choices this year...but I guess they have a reason. I'd be focusing on getting an entire additional pod open right now and I'd even prioritize Hotshot/Waterfall/Lower hotshot over more Stein's (although I could see the argument there about not wanting to make snow under the lift during a holiday period, but North Lynx has no such excuse).

Diesel engine was running on Slidebrook today. Hopefully it’s open by MLK weekend

My guess they might be trying to give people some dry gun powder to ski under, it's gonna be cold tomorrow again. There will be one or two wet towers at the bottom though, always is...It didn't ski terribly today but needs another groom. Agreed that they need to be up on NL though. Also noticed the crowds have been a bit down with the cold temps.

State of the Mountain today and no mention of North Lynx. What gives? Under communicate and leave us all speculating. Rinse repeat.

Yup...another extremely lacking and basic update with nothing note-worthy. Really odd to not mention NL (or even the plan for finishing GH).
