Might have a window to get up there Wednesday after work… looks like another nice refresher Wednesday and then maybe the upslope machine kicks in for Thursday.

Short on J1 lifties, or other mtn ops?

From afar it looks like snowmaking has been hitting the usual opening sequence.

Regardless, really looking forward to getting back up there.
Snowmaking is on fore, they are killing it! J1’s is the issue. They are opening more lifts this weekend

Even in "normal" years, staffing ramps up through December.

For instance, when I worked at Stowe I'd always start right with the Thanksgiving opener, but I was a returner (no training needed), and it was my choice (i.e. they didnt need full staffing the first few weeks) to work.

Sounds like the ropes dropped on Upper Goat, Upper Liftline, and Upper Starr today.

They may very well be at 100% when the Gondy and Sensation open on Saturday.

Except for runs serviced by Toll House Double which is not scheduled to open until Dec 19

They will open those trails to ski back to the free lots as long as there's enough snow. You would have to take a bus back up to the main mountain.
