Ragged gets a new GM

[Abubob]

It is running on the webcam, was planning on ragged tomorrow but may play it safe and head to loon.

Shit luck that the six had a major issue before spear and barnyard were ready, sure there is a high level of anxiety to get it running before the weekend.

Check the website slope conditions before you go. It has the most up to date information. And … what newpylong said.

My oldest is a U10 at Ragged this year. I will be there rain or shine, lift spinning or hiking.

Enjoy the experience as time flies by! My oldest, who started as a U10 , is now a U19 and it's her last year of organized ski racing, unless she decides to race in college, and it still seems like it was yesterday that I dropped her off to her 1st training session as a U10 and then a month or so later took her to her 1st U10 race which was at Stratton.

Heck, your new GM at Ragged is probably getting close to that kind of nostalgia as when he was at Mount Snow, his oldest, and my youngest (who's just about to turn 16 now) were in the same all mountain skiing/park group when they were 7

Per snow report, the six is fixed. Not sure if I want to trust the six will make it through the day tomorrow or deal with the zoo that will be the grand opening of the kanc8.

Thursday, December 9, 2:00pm:

We have isolated the electrical issue on the Summit Six Express and all repairs have been made. Today we continue to test the chairlift electrical system, make snow on 5 trails and plow out several giant whales on the mountain. We will be open once again for skiing and riding tomorrow Friday, December 10, 2021 at 9:00am. Upper Ridge and Headwall plan to open tomorrow, providing us 9 trails and 32 acres of skiable terrain open.

FYI, they had staff on hand and ran the lift all night. I think it will be good.

Six has been running flawlessly all morning. Ropes dropped on headwall and ridge, nice change of pace. Couple of cats have been pushing out barnyard.

 

[Newpylong]

How far along is Wild Side and Newfound? They've been pounding them for a few days, not the best of snowmaking conditions though.

Might bring the kids over Sunday for some boiler skiing.

Newfound has monster whales, it looks ready to be pushed out, I would assume they wait until after the rain but you would know better than me. Think wild side had some decent whales at the top but did not look too closely, not sure about the bottom.

I will unfortunately be out there in the rain tomorrow, will try to post some pictures.

 

[Newpylong]

Sounds right to me. I think it would be wise to wait. Their cat time will be in the Barnyard all day today and with the r*ain event tomorrow, no time or rush to push it out. Start on Sunday when it starts to set up.

Don't get too soaked, it's looking ugly.

Calling for freezing rain in the AM Saturday. Driving could be treacherous.

You work there?

 

[Newpylong]

The snow report says Barnyard, Newfound and Upper Crew Cut for tomorrow. Didn't even notice they pulled the hoses to Crew Cut so early.

Mountain survived the weather well, only rained a few hours and never actually poured. Tomorrow should be a decent spring day.

 

[Abubob]

I’m sure it’ll all be straightened out by Tuesday when I return.

 

[Newpylong]

Those are some nice whales.

Those are some nice whales.

Reminds me of the joke.

A guy walks into a bar and hears two women speaking in a British accent. He asks, "Are you ladies from England?" One says to him "Wales, you idiot!" So, the guy says, "Oh, sorry. So, are you two whales from England?"

They were pushing out wild ride all afternoon.

 

[Newpylong]

Good amount of terrain open/about to open all things considering. They haven't had anywhere near the # of hours to run as the big boys due to elevation.

Wild side was pushed out today and looked good.
