It all depends on what kind of natural snow we get.  The more we get, the less public runs have to be blown with manmade snow and we can move the snowmakers into the parks.  So when I find out, i'll let everyone know.

The first day of this storm was a very wet and heavy snow, which is good as a base cover because it stays better and doesn't get ridden away as easily.  The last part of the storm was very light and dry so it made for good skiing snow and 'get your snowmobile stuck really easy' snow.  They are winching the silverlode area and king con area right now so we just need a little more snow to keep opening more runs.

They use all the portables that they use on pick, so after pick is done.  They do that because the rest of the guns are up on the upper mountain blowing the silverlode and con areas.  They already have two guns up on the top of the crown so we'll see when they can pull the rest over.

oh,  there's a ton of snow up there.  but not enough yet.  I was up pushing today to try and keep what little cat operating skills I have fresh.  Haven't heard any timelines yet so the guns will just keep pumping.

Yes, it does.  Which is why we can't build pick before the pipe.  We would lose over half the surface area we could make snow onto and lose alot more in terms of access to push the pipe.  But it is fun to plug in the ipod and just doze around for hours.  Relaxing and not stressful at all.  That pile next to the lift line was as tall as the fan guns until 6 feet was taken off the top so they could still blow snow tonight.  I should find a camera and make a video.

Kings = bawlin' last jump seems kind of hard to get speed for(my skis aren't waxed tho) / have to go about mach 10 into it. Maybe its just such a flat long inrun it just appears to feel fast. 4 pack is $$$$.

We re-did payday.  Now I know the first thing is going to be bashing on the features, so before all that,  "we are working on getting mid payday built.  Before we can they need to blow the fan guns a bit more to fill in the pipe ditch on the right side.  after that, we pretty much have free reign over the left side of the run."

Cheers.

Well, to make another short update, and because it's snowing and my two days at snowbird for the NSAA Conference were the two bluebird days Park City has had in a long while, there won't be any photos. But here's the latest on Jonesys.

WEATHER DEPENDANT, the Jonesys jump line will open tomorrow, friday the 25th.  If it doesn't open due to weather, we will be in there installing rail features.  We will try to add more features at night as time progresses so we can limit the amount of time the park is closed.

This weekend is the Chevy Revolution Tour.  The pipe will be closed Saturday with practice being held in Kings Crown the same day.  The Crown will stay open to the public for practice.  On sunday the Crown will close for the Slopestyle portion.

There is also a race on payday on Friday so the Crown, as the emails have stated so far, won't be open until the race is over around noon.

Thanks!
