I hope so BG. Not panicked but the “waiting has been the hardest part.” The 45 day snow map that I saw agree with recovery but we need it to start.

9990 opened today. So at least that's something.

Looks more like Ammonusuc Ravine when you get there too late mid -April!
Die hards though!
This is your snow-starved kids on drugs when the boats get blown up.
Where was this?

Looks like the exit/runout from 9990.

I don't know what that means, but what this really is, is Vail opening dangerous terrain just so they can say they have "expert terrain" open.
I have it on good authority that JAN & FEB bookings are way down for Park City due to the lack of snow.

That's the run out of 9990...and you wouldn't know what to expect until your in it. Opening 9990 with this kind of cover is nuts...I'm sure the top 2/3 rds is ok..then your screwed.
Same as opening the pines...has to be a minefield in there..

On another note Alta is looking quite nice these days.

Maybe my favorite run is Charlie Brown. As long as it remains Epic, it will have to be all the videos we took of powder runs there.
And I'm ok what that.

Wish there was a way to get back to the chair from there..its a loooong way back.
That runout wasn't as boring as say most tho- fun little trees to skiers right then that double fall line if you have enough speed before it narrows out to flats.
That and Chair 5 were great.
Far skiers left on CB at ropes was always deepest and least skied.

I was in there today, granted after probably another 5 or 6 inches since they opened it, and it was actually pretty nice (relatively speaking). Some partially exposed rocks, stumps, etc.., but not bad. Towards Kokopelli, however, there was a good 10 foot drop into a stream that could have been better market than one lone pole. That one almost caught me by surprise.
