I wish. It's the traditional cookie baking day with B's family. I'll be doing the good mommy thing until at least mid-afternoon. B has to work, so I guess it could be worse. ;) There's a small chance I'll be up Sunday night, though.

There better be some pictures from this outing!

Wish it was coming up this way. We're only supposed to get 2" or 3".

5-10" expected here. Should do wonders for those bumps. Should have a full on legit mogul field by midday tomorrow.

you and Greg can have area 69 all to yourselves, I might hit area 51 instead.


I won't speak for all of AZ, but i really don't want to see your footage from area 69.

Going out for a pre-pow recon in a in an hour or so, plan on being there tomorrow at open. Might be a short stint for me, may head up to Killington afterwards to work on lining up a ski house.

We will start pushing Gunbarrel tomorrow morning. There are a lot of big piles on it but, it eats up a lot of snow. I hope to get it for Sunday afternoon. Keep in mind, like last year, the opening of Gunbarrel will coincide with a fresh snow fall. Meaning the stuff falling from the sky will be churned in with the varying degrees of man made already on the trail. We can not afford to stop making snow on Gunbarrel during the storm if we intend on getting it open tomorrow.
I guess what I’m saying is if we can get it open tomorrow expect variable conditions on it.
The bump plan as we move forward is to not groom Temptor and Nor’easter during the storm. Sunday overnight not groom upper Nor’Easter and Temptor. If we get enough snow and some lines get skied in, we will not have to seed Temptor. Therefore, skipping the nasty break in period of seeded bumps. This would also, eliminate any down time in mogul offerings.
