I will be there. Aiming to get in the office early so I can kick off my holiday vacation from work and my ski season.

somebody has to ask.

will stinger be setup for opening?

Unknown at this point. I'm sure Chris will fill us in when he knows. I think he's shooting for it, as long as he can get enough snow down this week. I have no idea how realistic that is though...

will the later than expected start to the season affect the stinger/temptor bump plans? i don't recall the details of why starting stinger and then moving to temptor.

The reason for starting with the bumps on Stinger was so that there would be a groomed black trail (Temptor) for the initial opening. Once Gunny opens the plan is to move the bumps onto Temptor. In order for the bump plan to change I think that Gunny would have to be open from the get go. I don't know the chances of that happening, but I wouldn't expect them to be very good. I'm thinking that everything else but Gunny could be open though (if the weather cooperates).

Friday is a no go, unless I can get out in the afternoon with the kids. Sat. w/kids most likely. Maybe Sunday night solo if I can sneak out....
