i know the snow stakes are very low, but it's windy and they say they've gotten six inches. i would imagine they've put the stakes in wind resistant areas though. hoping to get in some of the woods soon.

Which was pretty much well expected given the forecast for summit winds...so it really shouldn't have surprised anyone. Based on the webcams at the top, looks like the chairs are still rocking pretty good up there.

i know the snow stakes are very low, but it's windy and they say they've gotten six inches.

Was easily 6 at the base elevation an hour or so ago...pretty decent density to it at least at lower elevations, so should help start to build a good base.

Got a little sporty with a very firm base and moguls all over..They opened snowball...that was fun..

They replaced drive belts on HG today and are running it at reduced capacity to "give them time to set and settle". Not sure how long that takes...

Funny that you mention the woods the way you did. My friends at patrol said they had 3 people yesterday that got hurt in the woods. All hooked something under the snow. Just because you were lucky doesn't mean there are not dangers. Be careful.

Need another good storm....

Does anyone know why they took chairs off the North Ridge Chair? FWIW, looks like they are reinstalling them now.

I do not think those were put back on from summer inspections.

FYI they take like 20% of chairs off every lift in summer to inspect them. Believe that is state law.

Yup...from looking at the cams in the summer/fall once in a while, I'm pretty sure they were never put back on yet either after the yearly removal for inspections. Even GMX only had the chairs put back on a few weeks ago.

Anyone venture into paradise?

They switched to loading 2 chairs in a row & skipping 1.
I thought they were going to put a spin on it, snow preservation.

Off as in on the ground or on the chair parking rail structure?
