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.

are you guys going to groom out stinger tonight or will there still be bumps on it tomorrow?

check in early in the am to see what they got. If it is 8" or more, i'd make the trip if i were you. but then again, i'm biased.

We will leave the seeded stuff on Stinger until we are sure that Temptor is going to be good. So we won't do anything to Stinger until Sunday overnight or later.

Seems like such a waste to put all that work into seeding Stinger for only several days of use.

Shooting for first chair. Going out to park the cars at the end of the driveway for a quick departure. Bringing the Wateas and the Gotamas. Hoping the Gotoma will be the tool of choice tomorrow.

 

[MrMagic]

Purposely kept the boozing to a minimum at our holiday party tonight. Now that's dedication! My plan in the morning is untracked on Temptor for first run, then maybe hit it a few more times to get some lines going before moving on to Stinger later in the morning.

It's dumping out right now, but based on the radar, I would be surprised if we got more than 6". It took a long time for the snow to get going and really wasn't much of anything until 10:30 here. Probably not much better at Sundown. We'll see in the morning...

 

[o3jeff]

Only about 2-3 inches here and still snowing.

 

[Greg]

4" here. This thing was a bust. Oh well. Still should be good skiing.

 

[madriverjack]

Have fun everyone, I can"t start the season until after christmas. Only one more week to go.

 

[MR. evil]

Only about 1" to 2" at my place.

 

[severine]

Sundown's website cites 3" new snow in the last 24 hours. Bah. I think that's around what we got here. Too bad--it's that beautiful light powder, too! Let's all go to Dr. Jeff's house and ski there...he should have about 1 foot right now!

While I'm disappointed, it's also making it easier that I can't go ski right now.

 

[Trev]

Will be up for this evening...

I stand corrected, there was only 2-3 inches on the roof of the Jeep that didn't blow off, about 6-8" on the ground
