My apologizes to the easily annoyed about starting yet another Sundown thread but i have a legit question.

I recall last year that night skiing ended several weeks before the mountain closed for the season. I know they have a great base but the day time warm up and night time freeze up don't make for great skiing after dark. has there been any official (or unofficial) talk about when they will cut back on the evening hours?

I don't recall them cutting off night skiing early except for closing day. I can see them shutting down midweek maybe towards the end of the season though. Remember, DST this weekend so starting Sunday, we get daylight past 7 pm.

Here's the deal/. We secured a photo shoot with the meat heads again for April... meaning, we're around until May, ready to ski. As long as people keep coming, we keep Skiing.

Plan on night skiing, full operations, until May.

Yay!

They would need a freakin' jackhammer right now. Although I guess they could send a cat in there. Not sure how I feel about that. I kinda like just having a long string of bumps.

Last season midweek closed early... likely due to all that rain we had. Remember that March was very warm and rainy last year. Let's hope the same doesn't happen!

Very cool about the Meatheads filming again in April at Sundown. :beer:
