Is the plan to re-open? I had heard that they were definately closed for the season as of last Sunday. Hope I heard wrong.

You did indeed hear wrong:

The longboard ride to Ski Sundown was well worth it to see just how much snow was left...PLENTY and it was pretty soft too!!:cool:

Yea I asked Chris about hiking..He said is not allowed, I guess its liability reasons..we should all respect that

hmmm.... maybe we can form a private Sundown hiking club. Yearly admission fee is a case of beer. Members must obey the following rules;

1. Will not sue Sundown if they get hurt while hiking or doing the wild thing on gunny.

2. Must participate in the beat down on any members who break rule 1.

Ok so Sundown is free from the worry of a visit from the PLANB POACHING EXPRESS as we did not get S#!T for snow last night. I went to bed with around an inch or so on the ground and woke up to a grassy lawn...WTF? Somehow I lost snow overnight when the heaviest part was supposed to hit? Oh well I can wait till Friday I guess

The sun won't set until 7PM tomorrow... plenty of time for daylight skiing even if it's after work. Thinking of maybe hitting it up tomorrow after the kids get home from school and on Sunday afternoon... Can't believe it'll only be in the mid- to upper 30s all weekend!

Depends on how busy it is this weekend. They have the base to go til April and the temps will be in the right range. But if people don't come, there's no reason to stay open.

Regardless, had a nice couple of runs with my kids tonight and I'm looking forward to a return trip on Sunday.
