Thinking about heading up to 7 springs today and wondered if anyone was going or knew how the conditions were at the parks and if they were making snow??

i just got back...  and it wasn't too good.
two reasons
1. the weather was terrible.  half of the mountain was a lake.  they closed down the Alley and Santas beard because the entire park was a lake.
2. kristi leskinen's Homecoming is next weekend, so they took all of the features out of the Spot and started grooming it for the comp. 
also they was a huge kids mogul/slopestyle/superpipe competition, so parkcrew was busy with that all day, so the one remaining park got no attention.

it was still fun there.  they amount of freeskiers is crazy.  haven't seen anything like it.

i was there monday. It was bad. The alley was closed the spot was closed. There was basically a pond cross to get to the high speed lift.. But it was still a fun time we ended up just lapping santas beard. i dont see how sevens will be open til april they are super low on snow.

well i went up this past saturday and santas was pretty much all slush. I guess north park was good, didn't really go there. But they lied on their website, it says they got 7 features. all they got is an up rail to gap, a down rail, and an up down box. o and the halfpipe. But idk if they've added anything since i went up

santas was a diaster the other day, more mud than snow, but the spot is still in really good shape. north park still has tons of snow but only 3 features...

Santas was a muddy pond the other day. you had to pond cross to hit the double barrel at the end same with the flatbar.
