Think a little poaching would be frowned upon... although it looks pretty busy up there at the moment...

With the weather next week looking a little shaky, opening this weekend would be a real gamble. We will Stay on Canyon run, Nor'easter, Temptor, Stinger, Exhibition and Little Joe till Sunday afternoon.
Even if it warms up next week we should have a three to five foot base after it's pushed out.
Pat, I got a little heavy over the summer but calling me a whale is kinda harsh.

Very nice work Chris and crew! I can't wait to check it out for myself! :snow:

Thanks for the pictures Jarrod, awesome job!

I can attest to the fact that Chris is very hands on. When snowmaking is going on he's out there on the hill working just like the rest of the crew.

if i can't, neither can you! haha

for real though... it's super sketchy. Hoses and equipment everywhere... and with the plow out right around the corner, lots of machinery soon. We'd be forced to be really really strict if it came down to catching some one.

Hope you understand where we're coming from.

with that said... opening day is going to be awesome! Can't wait.

Yikes! Nor'easter looks insane! Hope Temptor is shaping up similarly. Must have had a good day of production today too. Actually, I love the fact that you guys are sitting tight and just burying the place. Indeed opening day is going to be sick. I hope I can make it up, at least for a night session.
