The Feb 21, 2014 upload date is my favorite part. lulz!

That’s my wife’s work. Come to think of it, I might be the hitler in that video.

got to hg and it wasn’t loading so went back to bravo. When I got to the top I could see the lift moving with people on it but when I got there it was closed. Skied around but the natural snow trails were skied off. Moonshine was good. Lews line had good snow. About 11:30 felt like the winds were picking up and I called it a day.
why wasn’t valley house running?

I was wondering that as well this morning, but looks like they started VH somewhere just after noon based on looking at the cam history.

I imagine if HG was running, there would have been no need for VH though based on the amount of people at the mountain today.

The three I mentioned were NL. At the start of the day HG was running. I guess they are allowing hiking up there now that HG is down.
Snow report at one point after HG closed for the day said Castlerock was inaccessible due to HG maintenance. Assuming that meant HG as well, evidenced by the rope across Jester by the patrol hut.

Lifts out of commission for the day, why not let people hike for the goods?

No drama at North yesterday. Barely any lift lines and fresh snow all over the place. Fresh tracks on Lower FIS was a highlight.
And nearly full lot, though many were for the U12 and U14 race on Inverness. Skiing was really good all over. Wind was tough, but that's part of the ME gig...

Brambles was worth the traverse yesterday.

Too bad HG and GMX are down to start the day. Shits getting bad.

Dec. 22nd 2024, 7:51 AM: *Heaven's Gate and GMX will be delayed for maintenance* …. North Ridge is still going through the inspection process, and we look to open that as soon as possible.


“Still going through the inspection process” is a nice spin on “failed inspection”

And Now GMX is down.

Likely not, but think of all the trails that are "open to hiking" now! No NRX and Inverness not running even with a new drive... argh. Hike to Summit?? Can't tell if it's loading b/c the camera is iced over (but at least pointed uphill). From what I can make out, it's not running...
