I thought we were saving that for May?


That's totally doable. If we can get Dave to give us the OK...or just pretend he doesn't see us. I can actually pull the 4x8 trailer I use to haul the quad..behind the quad. I could easly secure a cooler back there for the ride up the hill......:lol:

That 4 x 8 trailer might need to be put into service to haul something (that BTW had it's construction started last night :) ) a short distance across Route 100 on a certain Saturday in March ;)

I like how you think! Wonder if they would mind if we entered via the tubing hill....4 wheels spinning and snow flying everywhere. It would be a rather grand(Summit) entrance.....:grin:

Well, this years version is just a wee bit more involved than last years ;) :lol: Especially the creation of space for certain pictures that we know must adorn the ride! :lol:

Lift 11 did reopen yesterday at 9:00 am. The problem was a set of very large bearings on the high speed input side of the gearbox. Worked most of the night Saturday hoping to repair by Sunday morning but discovered a bearing race had spun in the housing requiring machining. Lift Maintenance was quick to call the rope evacuation as diagnosis was easy. New temp temperature sensors installed and auxiliary oil pump to assist with lubrication. Apologies to anyone stuck on line.

Thanks for the info. I take it you work at Snow?

Correct, one of the lucky ones to spend the night working in the drive terminal on the gearbox.
