Anyone have the details?

BYW - the conditions have been excellant - they went from last weekend having only the Belt & HBK open to the entire front of the mountain & Claires. There is enough snow to open wayout whenever...

It was open all day Saturday when I was there, and it's listed as open tomorrow. So whatever it was must not be too major of an issue. Maybe something broke down in a narrow section of the trail.

On Monday morning it looked as though a snow cat had crashed thru the fence on skier's right just after that steeper part right off of Belt - not sure how, maybe GWI :) - there were a couple of other snow cats trying to yank it out and they were taking up pretty much the whole trail in their attempt to do so - Wayout re-opened around 11:30...

Oops....someone slipped. Hopefully anyone involved is ok.

BTW - you too can ride shotgun in a snow cat during nightly grooming - see website for details. I believe it is $99
