Now that they're both open the question should be who will be the last to close. I know where my money is.

Like I said. Always a competition with K fanboys. Gotta win. Gotta be the biggest. Gotta be the baddest. Gotta be the BEAST!

It'll be pretty moot after the rain that is coming.................

Both areas will see a lot of decay as the rain overruns the area tonight. NOAA has indicated a lot of precip, a lot of wind and temp at > 3000 ft in the high 50's. Recovery will be the tone for the weekend. We'll see "witch" one pulls it off better.

As to the K and the River, it really is just some bs bragging right. Lots of snow making, lots of grooming, not too much character. Both are necessary evils on a coast that does not get a whole lot of snow. Don't put the mtb away just yet

This deserves some kudos.Open 1 hour?I don't remember when a ski area didn't bag it for the day this late.

:42 pm 11/01/13-- Ladies and gentlemen, lifts will be open at 2:30 p.m.!

Mother Nature brought the winds we were promised, but we're finally going to be able to spin those lifts. The K-1 Express Gondola and North Ridge Triple are scheduled to provide uploading and downloading through 3:30 p.m.

From the conditions report:
Great Northern and Downdraft Headwall will provide access to trails in the North Ridge area, though walking will be required. We expect conditions to be variable with some walking required at the Downdraft Headwall and at the top of Blue Heaven. Think soft, spring-like conditions.

Trail report has the Downdraft Headwall closed.

If they are open for an hour, they opened that day. They probably want to be able to say they had X # of consecutive operating days this season when spring (hopefully June) comes.

After Tuesday morning they won't be able to blow until Thursday night/Friday morning so I doubt next weekend. Could lose some ground Weds/Thursday with warm and rain. GN is a lot to cover.
