Hiked up Loon yesterday, their new features look DOPE. And all their old features have been re-painted and many sponsored.

There $94 I think.  It entails you to $25 off of midweek ticket rates and $15 off weekends and holidays

They updated it, now they are saying that they will open as soon as possible net week. I would think that if they really really tried they would be able to open by sunday, but i'm not sure how likely they are to go for it.

Actually, thats just where they are making snow right now. I'm pretty sure when they do open it will be top to bottom, and the Gondola will be the primary lift.

Opening day last year they definitely had solid coverage over a pretty wide area. Bear claw and Brookway were both open, and you could get down to them from the gondola via picked rock and flying fox i think. It was impressive.

Last years opening day kinda sucked.  They claimed they had 6 or 10 trails open but it was pretty much just brookway which was a clusterfuck with all of the gapers.  They also did not have any park set up.  I wonder if they will have early season rates this year? not really worth it unless you have a pass.

They had a park, it was at the entrance of LMP, just a flat box and a flat bar. Unless my memory doesn't work right now, which is possible.
