Cool, welcome skibum9995.

I wonder if we'll be racing on Downdraft (the public Nastar course) - neither Twister or FIS are open yet (although the snow report does mention snowmaking on lower Twister twice).
Regardless, looking forward to it!:beer:

Looks like Pat's got Twister open, so we will all be racing on our favorite trail . . .not.

IIRC Downdraft has the pitch of lower Twister anyway, at least we'll get a "black." Hope they can at least build up a starting mound.

I thought that Downdraft was a bit steeper than lower Twister...it's a pretty short trail in any case. Better than nothing I guess.

I am still looking to go to Pats with the family on Sunday...I'll try to report back on the conditions.

Honestly I only went over to that side of the hill once. we usually just run laps on the summit chairs. Anything is certainly better than nothing and Pat's does a great job snowmaking. We'll take whatever we can get!

Looks like I'll be getting there around 4:30 or so. I've never been to Pats before, will it be obvious where I need to go to get the paperwork?

The main lodge is on the left as you walk up. Go upstairs. We'll meet just outside the bar.

I was at Pats today...here is what I saw:
  • Downdraft was closed.
  • Upper Twister has no snow...Lower Twister looked like it was closed.
  • Races today were being run on East Wind, and I'd guess that tomorrow night will be on East Wind as well.
  • Overall coverage is very spotty...only sections of a few trails had side to side.
  • Hurricane is full of big, hard bumps. Everyone going down the trail was picking their way down.
Still had a good time...even with all of the bare patches and hardpack/ice, the mountain was still skiable.
