Done. Thursday's the night! Looks like at least two very good nights of snowmaking temps with daytime highs only reaching the mid-30's. Based on what I've seen so far this season, I'm going to guess that we will be pleasantly surprised with the surface.
Yeah, looking at it now, it looks like some good snow-making weather coming up. I still think there's a possibility to blow some tonight into tomorrow morning. It definitely looks good for Tuesday night well into Wednesday, then starting up again Wednesday evening into late morning on Thursday! Hopefully they'll be able to blow more on Thursday night, it's not looking too good after that right now...

It seems, at least as far as Sundown goes, that this season requires sort of a day-by-day approach. Sundown in some ways benefits from having only a limited amount of terrain in that they can recover quickly. I'd like to see Gunbarrel come online, as well as the bumps on Nor'easter though. The Canyon/(flat)Nor'easter/Temptor options are starting to get a little old.

I am down for either day, though it would be nice to have the freshest surface possible. The middle of next week looks awesome for snowmaking, we should have great skiing by then if the forecast pans out.

We're down to 40*F and falling. Hopefully they'll get a small window to start blowing tonight.
Sundown is at 37.6 right now, which is the lowest it's been today...

Made to 28. Not sure how long it's been cold enough but hopefully they got some snow down. Tonight and Wednesday night will be strong for snowmaking and given the fact that there will be no skiers (at least tonight) they should really be able to crank it out. Thursday is the right choice of days.
It's 29 there right now and it got as low as 27.2 this morning.. Hopefully it was cold long enough for them to get some snow down, I kind of doubt it though...

Woodbury made snow and still has a gun going right now, so I think that Sundown should have had the chance to make some snow being further north and higher up.

I would bet if they got a 4+ hour window they went for it. They kind of have to with MLK Day coming up....

No kidding. Wish I knew about this before as I would have scoped it out while hiking up there last summer.
Don't forget about the tree run behind the sun deck that was mentioned in the AZ Challenge.... The CT backcountry scene is sick! ;-)
