Looks like they got the Hornet up and running for a test run on their facebook page.
I am really excited to see how well it is coming along!

I think the last time I skied there was in the last 90's with the Boy Scouts
I'm amazed that they've gotten that thing running. I think it's over 40 years old and with it sitting idle for so long, I would almost think it would need costly repairs like a new haul rope. Let's hope it passes inspection.
Well, this week was another major milestone - all the lift ropes / cables passed on all systems - the triple needs to be shorten by 8ft - however it still passed.
The Ride and Ski card for Dartmouth? I think it's too soon for that because all the infrastructure won't be fully in place this season - they'll still be building. I think you gotta give it time.Jeff from RSNE wants me to talk about a tour stop there.
As a former pass holder there, I'd wait a year to see how the snowmaking is before bringing a RSNE tour stop there. It was basically natural snow only that year. (2nd to last they were open). They obviously need support and business the first year back, but until you see what they got and how they operate that's a real gamble.
I am going to meet with the owner next week. He wants to my perspective on ideas. I have a few. Jeff from RSNE wants me to talk about a tour stop there.
indeed
They have a lot of narrower trails where ground air/water guns make more sense. One benefit is that their trails are not all that rocky. If they put that hedge trimming machine to good use, it doesn't take a ton of snow to open much of their terrain.
