Not surprised. They were pretty honest with their report on Saturday regarding the wet bulb temps they were working with and lack of snow making production because of it.

I hope to make it up there Wednesday or Thursday to grab my pass and some runs. With favorable snow making temps for Monday and Tuesday, hopefully it will be a bit better. Not psyched that it looks like it may warm up again for Wednesday and Thursday.

Location: Gunstock ... One trail..blue square death cookies,

Last year Ragged was like that with the death cookies three separate times. They had more runs than one but they were all equally terrible. Hope it gets better. btw - don't look at the weather forecast.

What did you pay for the tix?

Early season pricing. $25

Hit Gunrock again yesterday 12/20. 3 Trails now. Frozen meatballs with an occational blue ice corduroy patch..Groomers need to pulverize this stuff more its downright dangerous.

 

[Gunstock]

Getting better everyday

Hope everyone is making some turns. We stayed with midweek pricing all week and had 19 trails open. The temps have been pretty brutal this season but we have been pushing 5 to 6 thousand gallons of water a minute when the temps are favorable. Look for a bunch of new terrain to open tomorrow. Happy New Year.
