They're making a dirt halfpipe in the Spot so all they have to do in the winter is cover it with snow. This is going to let them focus on other things, ie focusing on getting North Park open much earlier and putting the jump line back.

I saw this when I went up for my pass, interesting idea. Is there any precedent for this, something other resorts have done?

I've never heard of anyone else doing it. But it does make a lot of sense because it takes them forever to build it, so it'll save a ton of time if it actually works out.

Holimont does this. Their halfpipe is oververt but it helps with the jumps.

Still too early to tell. Depends on the weather, but the weekend after Thanksgiving is probably about the earliest it could be.

A friend who works at Hidden Valley says they're supposed to start blowing tomorrow. The 10 day looks pretty good for snowmaking. So we'll see...

When they went to crank everything up last night they blew the main water feed, supposedly worked on it all day. Hidden Valley has been blowing though.

That would be awesome, especially since I'll be home. On a side note, how was the rail jam? I wasn't able to go this year.

Always a great time. Word on the street is that Saturday could be opening day as long as the weather system that blows through tomorrow doesn't drop too much rain. Hope for snow and we'll be skiing next weekend.

Shit was crazy. They allowed skiers to compete this year but the skier to border ratio was 2:7
The setup was sketchy as hell, but everyone was still throwing down.

Yea I was bummed I couldnt go since skiers were allowed to compete, I'd always take non/skier friends and couldn't really tell them how much better skiing is with only snowboarders competing ;)

I definitely think they'll be open on Friday or Saturday. Today was insane for snowmaking, and the rest of this week will be too. On Sunday, it's going to rain and it'll be warm for a lot of next week, so I think they'll at least be open for the weekend.

Eh, don't get too jumpy. I would rather them put in two solid week of snowmaking and have a killer opening day.

The weather is going to be terrible for snowmaking, barely below 28 at all.

Im hoping for something similar to last years setup. Arctic blast was made into a sick park, and it even had a sizable jump. Santas also had some jibs
