Thank you baby Jesus. They are actually serious about spring skiing! They should have a solid 3 days or more window.

Will they let them blast for more than two 10-hour shifts unlike last time, to make the snow...I don't know...accumulate a bit ;-)
Skiing two Sundays ago was nice though. But then again, it only takes 2 inches of that man-made white gold for things to ski well. I haven't been to the mountain since March 6, but I did not see anyway for them to make it to April...and that was before more rain. If they could get the guns going full blast (not likely) Friday and Saturday nights, without turning them off Saturday day, they could get some serious production down and on the ground.
Still can't believe I was skiing naturals and trees there at the end of April last year on closing day.
My guess is they focus on Polecat with a few spot guns elsewhere, like Middle Catapult. They need Polecat for the British invasion in April. Middle Catapult would restore the connection to the lower mountain trails off the Bobcat lift.
Today skiing Polecat I noticed a ground gun at the big corner past Tomcat Schuss. I thought it was odd that it wasn't put away for the year. Now I know why.
That stretch along Schuss, Middle Wildcat/Catapult like you say and hopefully that gives them three unique routes off the top through 4/10.

Southern Vt looks like it will be great monday. I can probably take off monday if I can find a ride from Binghamton. PM me if you can drive me.

A western trend is not our friend this year, unless it cut's past us all together.

Probably going to sell a few extra Peak Passes is what they're hoping is my guess!
I was more than likely going to get a peak pass. Then I saw they were going to make snow. So I bought online last night and I'm here now.
