Yea, tonight was the last night of night skiing. Day skiing is still going. everything was in pretty rough shape this evening, but once they get the groomers out and since it'll be mostly sunny this week they should hopefully get everything nice again for some sweet spring riding

pretty good probably. I've only seen one person get caught using a night pass during the day, and that was by Larry. he's the older guy who tends to keep an eye out for that sort of thing.

they might have some sort of a deal for night pass holders too. I've heard of places doing that for when they shut down night skiing, but I really don't know.

yea this week they're not open. sucks. my guess is that they're not making enough money to stay open even if the conditions will be fine. at this time of the year it seems like it's mostly season pass holders who ski and not very many of them at that. so when they have more employees at the hill then skiiers they're not going to be inclined to stay open.
they still say next weekend they might be open

although I'd imagine one could always go hike some rails or something. I couldn't see them minding much.

Depends how much hiking you want to do. You need to hike up the landing of the last jump to get speed for the flat rail.

I think fortune and possible cascade are going to be open so you might as well go there and actually ski.

for actually skiing, Fortune is better than Edel and Cascades in my opinion.

Hands down! I actually enjoy shredding a little fortune gnar once and a while. They still have a ton of snow too. LAME and I ripped a midnight line down sparks last friday night. Fun stuff!

skiing everywhere around here sucks anyway, but for all mountain fortune is the best of a shitty situation
