Well, even just this morning's squall really spruced things up and snowmaking trails are full on hero fluff. Non snowmaking isn't quite there yet, but the snow is bonding pretty darn well and if we get the double digits out of this storm tonight, tomorrow is going to be CRAZY good. Anybody making the trek up for Super Monday?

2/5 was awesome, there were about 150 people there. Seemed like less. Fresh lines until the end of the day. Too much sausage and bacon was consumed, good snow was enjoyed, terrain was opened for all to enjoy, sun broke out late morning.


Mark Super Monday off on the calendar for next year. Take the day from work and or school. Highly recommended. :beer:

Working like hell to make it happen. Emergency brake issue she had is solved and was inspected by State today--all good there. But a new issue developed during the inspection with the Auxiliary back-up motor so the team is pouncing on that one. We will adjust our day ticket limit from 1500 down to 1000 if it is not resolved by Saturday. But we are taking the approach that this is one last obstacle that needs to be overcome by Saturday morning...

Thinking about my third try at our first Magic Trip for President's Day weekend. I've booked rooms twice in the last two years only to be blown out by weather.

- Am I right in thinking Magic will be less crowded that nearby mountains?
- Will there be ticket limits in place? Should I pre-buy?
- I realize it's a week and a half out, but thoughts on the weather? Worried about that warm up middle of next week.

You guys getting there this weekend should really be in for a treat.
