They will absolutely try to open for XMas week. I know I'll be there, that's for sure. I love it up there around then and so does the family. They absolutely know that holidays and opening early are a big deal for income too, so I am not panicking that's for sure.

We have been there when it was one way down the mountain for the holiday week. We make the best of it and hang with our friends in the BLT. I just hope they "advertise" their music a little better. Last year an awesome band was there and no one knew they were coming. What a waste....

I'm certain that given the temps they will work toward trick to showoff, but I wouldn't expect anything for the next 2 months or so. They really need to advertise EVERYTHING better........ We still don't know what the big announcement is or what the plans for the season are, like a projected opening date.

It's a ski area. It's selling season passes. It will be open by Christmas week and maybe earlier if mother-nature cooperates. That's pretty basic.

Barker said both lifts will be inspected and approved by Thanksgiving. That's a key marker to deliver on and Travis is working hard on that front.

If Barker gets this guy McLaughlin to throw money at his operating company then there should be resources to blow snow on multiple trails and hopefully fix the leaking roof from last season which has now destroyed the ceiling in the cafeteria area in the lodge due to neglect.

So December 19th or December 25th? I hope they look at the soft spots in the floor too...

The intent is for the official opening weekend to be 12/19 & 12/20. Then re-open daily 12/26 - 1/3/16 for the holiday week. If weather allows there is a possibility of opening 12/12 & 12/13.

Going on week 3 with no big announcement. In a 24 hour news cycle, with twitter, FB, instagram, etc this is completely unacceptable. What a shitshow.

Well I sure hope McLaughlin isn't the big news

jrmagic, not familiar with "McLaughlin" but based on your comment I guess I can assume he's not going to fork over a couple million for necessary upgrades?

Well that is down right beautiful. Could only be better with a couple feet of pow pow. Thanks for posting. Seems like the Mountian is in good shape. Interested to know the status of the lifts.

Good deal - and I didn't see any misspellings on the Update or Facebook! Just waiting for the update that says the lifts have passed inspection!

So who is Shane Sullivan, Director of marketing? Any relation to the other Sullivan? Maybe he can take down that horrible picture of the lodge on their homepage.

He also should take down the link to a nearly year old blogspot posting by Tom Barker about all the great progress on the Black chair last year. Given what happened and the current assurances it is not helpful.
