Things are looking good for a Thursday opening. Probably 9:30am. We are making tons of snow right now because its in the lower teens, so everywhere that we are making snow should be more than skiable.

snow has been made for about 2 days straight now i believe, so thursday is looking real good right now. sadly i have a class on friday so i'll be missing my first opening day in a while.

last year 2 of the smaller rails were set up on opening day, if we're lucky we'll hopefully get something similar this year.

They announced that Thursday is projected opening day. I'd assume they'll make that final in the next couple days.

For those who haven't made it out yet, last night it was only like 8ยบ and the snow is super soft, i got to make first tracks this morning at like 7:00am and its like skiing sort of pow. Your skis dig in a few inches every turn and it just feels sweet, super smooth. If it stays cold then it should be pretty awesome all day. If it warms up then i don't know what to expect but we're crankin' some snow right now and we should be able to get something going in the park within the next few weeks for sure i think.

You should get here,

I used to but it sucks badly.  You have to show up to this spot every hour, and stand there for like 30 mins prolly just to see if its your turn to get a lesson, and if no then you get to go ski prolly two runs then you have to be back at the spot its deff not worth it except for the 50 percent off food thats real nice

probably. it's just a matter of them not having enough time to do it right now i'd imagine, and probably need some more snow as well.
