Nevermind, read back on page 2... bottom of Hellgate, shouldn't be too hard to find.

DMC, Jim, any inside information on the snowmaking kicking in overnight? How likely is it that there will be top to bottom skiing by Saturday or Sunday?

Well, I am gonna pull out. Was up there today, and it was fun. But I am not skippin work for what was there....

I suspect snowmaking might resume tonight and they should be able to go pretty much full blast through Sunday. I think there's a good shot at T2B. Maybe Ike too?

Check that. 180 reports snowmaking to the base as of 10 pm tonight. I assume T2B by Sunday is almost a given.

That makes it even more likely that I will be there on Sunday instead of Saturday. And before you ask about the brakes - unfortnately, I won't have them with me. I am already at my inlaws, I left my house planning on skiing at Hunter on Saturday so it didn't even occur to me to bring the brakes with me. Sorry...

They will definitely have a few more trails by Sunday. They can make a ton of snow very quickly.

Skied all day today...much different from Wednesday when it was spring bumps.

Today was cold, frozen snowmaking weather. Guns blazing top to bottom all day. It will continue tomorrow and tomorrow night. Sunday will be awesome and now I will definitely be at Hunter.

Hellgate was frozen and shady today, bumps mowed last night. But the skiing improved all day as the guns just kept depositing more snow. 5-fingers down to F was particularly nice snow. All day.

Hunter One will also be open. Doubt they'll get Belt open.

See you Sunday.

See you tomorrow. 11 am, five fingers. Nice, fresh manmade. Should be a good day.
