    Sweet Spot for Saturday?

    Sunday River still was making snow on Kansas and Race arena today. That is all I could see. It was around 40F at the base. The resurfacing since last Sunday is amazing. Some squalls going off and on. Lower down draft does not have much snow. Worried about getting from Auroa to The top of...

    Sweet Spot for Saturday?

    Already at Sunday River. I expect some nice expansion for Saturday, my guess is tomorrow. Hoping we get Aurora. North Peak looks like that may be in the mix too. Traditionally this weekend is quiet, but Iam sure we will have a decent crowd.

    2020-21 Sunday River

    Guns on all over the place to resurface and get Little white cap area going. South ridge had guns on, but marginal temps. MM was online. grooming was well done. I was surprised how well they brought it back. Was not spectacular, but mush better than expected.

    They made snow there last week when it was Warm elsewhere to get a good start, nothing was on the snow report, but I talked with a few snowmakers and they were going at it strong. Last year they made snow on just parts of Northern lights and tied in cyclone early to State Fair. I think the...

    2020-21 Sunday River

    I think if I recall we got the Jordan chair first because that style was available, and it fit in Jordan better. I thought the Barker chair option would be another year, due to what they had to offer. If we get the same thing at Barker things might have changed, Machski an probably clarify and...

    Spruce with the New guns look amazing. That can't be far from coming into the mix. Usually, Amex Grand rapids, lower Downdraft and Tourist trap are the next step after Barker. Barker, Locke and Spruce at the same time are all getting hammered. My guess is Cascades is Sunday. We get Barker...

    2020-21 Sunday River

    Snow making improvements do appear to be making a difference. T2 was much better than punch. The guns on Punch were wet. lower Punch was completely different than yesterday. 100% better. Talking to few last night, sounds like getting South Ridge open on Wednesday is the goal. Goggle and...

    2020-21 Sunday River

    Funny, most I heard did not like Punch as much either. I liked it better than T2. You could take lower punch to the bottom, but it was early season wild. What you Rember from years past, is what you got once you hit the water bars, better than downloading, but Rock skis needed. Tonight, will...

    2020-21 Sunday River

    I went and walked around Baker and Locke base a bit ago. 31F and mixed precipitation. Guns looked off, very humid, but raw. Snow is all the way to Barker lift, but real thin down low. If people ski top to bottom, even though not saying it will be open, Punch will be the way. Cacases in not...

    We did meadows a year ago and I liked that. We did that in January. Timberline You pop out just to the right of main terrain at Timberline and it is wide open and fun. Seen recent pictures, they have got allot of snow recently. Mid station up has a decent wide open pitch. It is pretty...

    Timberline lodge

    I made a trip late season to Timberline last year. Going again 3rd week of May. They have a great late Season Pass. $237 I think this year. For the price of Two days of Skiing, you can ski from Mid March until Memorial day
