Bar was not even open yet. It was upon arrival. No bad ice cubes were consumed at that point.

Nothing I read anywhere seems to suggest their is anything positive in the near future. At best it appears nighttime snowmaking temps, but that may not even hold. We are looking above average for the foreseeable future.
On the bright side, if its stays cold enough at night to blow we may be able to enjoy some soft and creamy days. Albeit on limited terrain. Friday was really nice, I can handle a few more like that.

Looking at Thursday night, do they even try to make snow when it's that windy?
Of course you do! If wind stopped snowmaking, then Cannon and Wildcat would never get open.

Cannon is now saying maybe 4-7 but wtf is this?
We've been making snow with every available opportunity over the past couple of weeks and we'll offer a decent selection of terrain on day one. Really?
We'll offer one main route from mid-mountain, consisting of Middle Cannon, Rock Garden and Gremlin.
More importantly though...IT'S SNOWING! We're currently measuring a half-inch of new snow around the base area, which means there may be more in the higher elevations, and some weather projections are calling for as much as 4-7" throughout the day today.
The weather looks decent for snowmaking over the next week with temps dipping in & out of the freezing zone. Most nights in the extended forecast should permit for snowmaking, but we don't expect our trail offerings to change much in the coming week.
Again,really?No change to the 1 route from the detach?Pretty f-in lame.

That's no surprise. If you can only make snow at night, you're likely spending a good portion of your time just patching up the damage.

It's been a miserable week of rain. I can see the difficulty keeping snow made at night given the rotten weather each day. Glad to finally have it turn to snow today!

Not happy.Was going to ski tomorrow before the weekend,1st day crush on 1 trail but it hardly seems worth it.I'm sure my attitude will change a lot when I get there and see the place covered in snow instead of the depressing all green thats been there for the last few weeks.
