I'll try to hook up with y'all at some point.
Hopefully, you won't be able to find me in all the new powder. :dunce:

Bottom of Heaven's Gate, 11 am.
Should we have a Plan B in case the Super Bravo lift is on wind hold? Perhaps meet at the bottom of the Gate House Express Lift at 11 am but only if Super Bravo is on wind hold?
If there are wind issues & we meet at the botom of the Gate House lift, we can consider other alternatives.
I don't mean to minimize Win's generous offer to AZers in any way, and I really hope they spin something up top tomorrow, but many of us are traveling several hundred miles and want to ski the "good stuff". Thoughts?
The more I think about it though, I don't think we want to wait until 11:00 to consider other alternatives (such as MRG). If there are wind issues at Lincoln Peak, I imagine most of us would not want to wait until 11:00 to go somewhere else.
Is MRG like Magic in that the lifts are well protected from wind?
I meant to ask this, but can kids ride the single chair easily? Warren is afraid that he will not be able to lower the safety bar.

I'm going to be at Gate House between 8:30 and 9 tomorrow. Will see what happens....
I will be in the lower level boot room at 8:30 to evaluate things...
I think I am going to pass on tomorrow. I was going to make it a day trip but I can't justify driving that far and not being able to ski the whole mountain due to wind holds. Have fun!!

Bummer. Would have liked to ski with you again. Can't blame you though. Too risky for a day trip.
It is a little freaky the first time, but I'm sure Warren will be okay. Just make sure he understands that the safety bar works differently and he'll be alright. And I do agree with having him ride ahead of you.I meant to ask this, but can kids ride the single chair easily? Warren is afraid that he will not be able to lower the safety bar.
With regards to the wind....can someone please close the window???? :wink:
