They were going to try and as of yesterday they said they would. I got the word today though that they will not be able to. I would imagine they will open the following weekend. As of right now they are making snow up upper GN, Upper East Fall, Rime upper and lower, Reason.
Here are some pics I took today at about 1:30.
You can see guns lit on Rime
Can't see the peak but few hours after this the clouds lifted and you can see they are making snow on GN all the way to the peak.

They will try for the 31st(Saturday) but I don't see it happening with the 10 day forecast being real shitty. So I guess the next weekend (7th) it is...

so stoked if they open this weekend
it says on the website they need between 48 and 72 hours of cold to make enough snow and it's supposed to be really cold so it looks like they'll be open this weekend. I'm going sunday

Give me a day or two.
I just gave you "insider info" on that possibility of an opening Friday or Saturday.
There will be a rail jam Saturday. So I hope they do some sort of park set up on Reason like they usually do, but there will be a rail jam anyway.

Alright, as of now I'll tell ya what I know..
More than 4 runs most likey. They should have:
GN, Bunny Buster, Upper Dipper, Rime, Reason, Up. East Fall, Mouse Run, Up. Bunny Buster, Chute.
I would hope they throw up a park on reason or mouse run, not 100% sure since they will have a rail jam at the bottom
If I find more info out through the day, I will tell everyone whats up

yea fuck that. $49, thats just rediculous for opening day w/ shotty conditions, especially since they are only open from 10-3:30

But $25 for one trail, upper mountain, with down loading at SR is worth it.
I think $49 may be a bit steep, but seeing what they have open and who they market to..its reasonable.

Don't know what features will be. You can't hike.
If it is anything like the past few years, it will be maybe 2-6 jibs, and maybe a jump (they had one 2 years ago, and have a ton of snow up there now, so cross your fingers)
