You can all thank me for the recent snow and spell of really cold weather. My new bike arrived last week and I was hoping to get a few more weekends of riding in on it. I should have known that as soon as it arrived we would get snow.
thanks

Glad I could help
10:10 am today-- 27 degrees guns off. Looked like they made some decent progress overnight. Would think they could have pulled it off if they wanted to....I've been griping so much around the house got clearance to hit the Bush tomorrow, so that is one positive.
There was an electrical problem that's why the guns got shut down. It also forced us to stop the lift that was running for the ski school training.
Up until then the guns were all running full blast, they really put a lot of snow down since they turned on Thursday night. The snow that I had the pleasure of walking across sure seemed nice.
BTW - I understand that the problem should be fixed by tonight to enable them to start the guns back up while the snowmaking conditions are still good overnight.
Here's a couple pics that I took today.
Got the sign out ready to go...
Some serious whales starting to form!
I wish I had took some this morning while all the guns were blazing...

- I expect wall to wall Friday with a park and seeded powder bumps on stinger
- Everything but Gunny by Saturday

Is there any indication of what the opening day lift price will be? I just checked their site and didn't see it. Of course, I might be blind.

Probably the same as usual since they'll be nearly 100% open anyway. I don't think they usually run opening day special prices.

Nope. Sundown doesn't discount.
There are ways to save though. One being the once-a-week midweek pass:

Good midweek once per week. Frees up weekends to ski the big mountains up north. Personally, though, I will always have a full pass at the mighty Sundown provided they continue to seed bumps.

Sweet! Will you update with more snowmaking pics?
Hey...speaking of which. What's going on with the webcam? I agree with B... just throw a cheap one up in the lodge and get it going! No need to get all fancy.
