think they can get a run covered in three days? it'd be risky, but it's not my money that'd be lost - so i'm with derek.
i hope they are right about next week. that'd be sick to get it down that cold for my birthday.

they'll probably not blow. I forget what temp. it has to be but I thought it was -7 to be able to turn them on full otherwise you get half snow half water. I think, I don't know, they're not gonna blow snow for a while unless they want to try and rival horseshoe for opening day (*hint hint* jodi. new blue promotion.)

i think horseshoe is planning on blowing next week, provided the temps stay down at night and during the day. once they start the rails are coming out. they've given me the go ahead to start building the park as soon as they start blowing snow

as for horseshoe's park ( i know this is off topic)....they've basically said they want to get their park up to the standards of Blue/Whistler...basically keeping up with all intrawest resorts. this year the hill will suck and I'll do what I can (30-45 foot jumps/hips)...but next year they are pushing dirt around for me, making the hill longer/wider/steeper. I'll do what I can though...hey they are even letting me drive the groomer!!!!!

wait no, actually stay away from blue....yes it is no good
the lineups are long and u don;t want 2 wait in them....i hear the south park at blue is where u should go for the good park....not the badlands park...it even sounds bad 'badlands' see
in conclusion...lineups suck
