There are a few off season changes etc for sunburst going into the season.
Heres what I know-
3 New snowmakers
New Rails- No sign of what rails yet
All rails are being sanded and repainted to be smoother
The battleship box is making a comeback after two years without showing
An old battleship double rail is being fixed up for possible use. its about 5 feet tall, 25 long

more to come

It's all about the wet bulb temperature thursday and friday.  Come on low humidity!

On a seperate note, why can't sunburst get a webcam?

I've heard rumors of Sunburst opening this weekend, right? I mean look at the weather, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights are prime for blowing snow.

At the training i was at on Saturday they kept talking about trying to be open for this weekend. On Thursday i have a meeting with all the snowcat operators so I should have details on if or when they can open. There was still some snow in the park that they had made nothing to get excited about.

Whats the consequence of skiing there when they arent open? Just trespassing? Ive always wanted to go after they close in the spring

not really sure. there wasn't enough snow to do much of anything out there yet. I'm sure you would get the cops called and ticket for trespassing.

Have they started to make some huge snow piles so that we can get some tables in sprecher and the bottom of Black Forest?  Rails do not make a terrain park.
