Correct. More of the new building coming out in the front with a deck but it won't be take up the same footprint so the move across will be easier.

That's fine midweek but not an option on the weekends. On weekends if the srq isn't running there is no good way to get across.
What does the SRQ running/not running or weekends/midweek have to do with getting from Superstar to Snowdon? The only difference is you'll be waiting in line at RH longer on the weekend, if you choose to go down Snowshed to get there.

If the srq is running you can ski to it from the top of superstar and get into the canyon thus avoiding the schlep or ramshead. That lift running really connects the mountain.

Thanks to the short return of Old Man Winter earlier this week and the relentless pursuit of snowmaking all season long, we have a few announcements to make.

First, you asked, and we deliveredโ€”the return of North Ridge Quad this weekend only, tomorrow through Sunday to take advantage of some natural snow. Weโ€™ve also added a few bonus days on the Snowdon Six this coming Monday-Thursday (conditions permitting) and a bonus weekend for Ramshead and the Peace Park Friday, April 29 through Sunday, May 1. Redโ€™s Backyard will also remain open next week for hiking, while conditions allow.

Yes but I thought we were talking about being at the base of SS already then trying to get to Snowdon, oops.

Yes it was interesting today. Cloudier and wetter than I had hoped, but Mountian weather after a front passes is never easy to predict. Was lucky to catch first shower on North Ridge, which was snow and graupel, so not wet. 2nd one on SS was rain at bottom. Not too much rain though, and the snow as good. Today was probably it for me, unless I get lucky late May or early June on the SS glacier......

That looks like mid-June deep!
Wait, what?! Oh, making it to mid June๐Ÿ˜ Hope to make it there at least once to end my season. Jay, ever been to Ski Cooper? Hit it while visiting my son in CO a couple weeks ago. They loaded 3 days on my RFID, Freedom Pass. I tried to give it to my kid, he had zero interest. I don't know, $59 for two cat runs mid season, sounds pretty sweet to me. That, and the new expert terrain on the backside.

I believe June 22 in 1997 would be the latest...I can't find any record of later than that.

Had been avoiding superstar in April because soon enough it will be the only option. Wife told the kids an ovation story during dinner last night, of course they wanted to ski it today. Middle and lower SS appear as deep as I can ever remember for the end of April. Pile at the top appears smaller than previous years.

Daughter having fun in the bumps on upper O:
