Terry, way to keep smiling, bro... and Bob, you procrastinator! I love it. Kudo to Wildcat for giving this a shot. Obviously not a cash cow, but I can honestly say that you can have some of my money to spin a lift. No doubt about that. Well done. You deserve any good publicity you get, and your employees will deserve the rest they get when it's all said and done! :daffy: Jerry

I decided to go for a motorcycle ride this afternoon. I stopped at Wildcat and took some pictures. The coverage doesn't look to bad as of this afternoon. Hope they can do it!

Thanks, Terry! Yes, that does look pretty good. Even some coverage to the base. Impressive. If they open, I'll give them some of my money! :lol:

Especially sweet pic of the old gondi line.

Do the trails that have all that cover go to the summit or below?

The trails that looked like they had the best coverage were off the bobcat triple area. But you can't see the summit trails from the parking lot. I would assume that the higher you go, the better the coverage.

I'm so there with that sentiment personally

OBVIOUSLY I have no choice or say in the matter, but I do appreciate that you posted your honest response.

I doubt the P&L is so cut and dry. At the other extreme, Gunstock lost my business for next year for calling last run before the advertised time. Mrs. MadPadraic and I have already agreed that Wildcat will get one of our holiday weekends next year because they are demonstrating such a commitment this year.

My goodness, thanks for the support!

I keep hitting F5 to refresh the snow report, I'm anxious to know the scoop on this weekend myself.

Regardless of the decision for this weekend, Wildcat has really stepped it up. Breeze has communicated effectively on this board and others. More folks from mountains should be doing this. Indeed a handful are, but most are not. Thank you! :snow:

...I'm not saying I don't want a favorable decision for this weekend though! :spread:

The answer is YES.

Wildcat Open Sat 5/5, Sun 5/6

Jerry G, thanks for the props. To all, thanks for you support and listening, too.

I'm sure Irene will have a release up soon.

I'll be there both days, don't know whether I'll be selling you a ticket, flipping your burger, or pouring beer, or all of the above.
