Be nice if Hunter fired up some guns.

It would but there's really no reason to..
They have enough snow stockpiled to ski on until May.. And we will - hopefully...

This is not the first time that snowmaking has happened late in March, back in 1993 I remember skiing Vernon Valley/Great Gorge on the 17th and snowmaking was going on to extend the season. It's good to see snowmaking this far south, hopefully thing stay cool and dry for a while.

I remember. Skied Belleayre around then too. I like skiing the last days. Closed Alta last year, big party. Couldn't understand how people could get so drunk and ski one of the steepest runs there though. Hard enough straight. Prolly why they call it High Rustler.
