I don't see how they can open in 10 days when it looks like new grass is sprouting...

they will probley open when number one we get frost, nuimber two the long range doesnt show shit loads of wet warm weather. so that could mean a ski hill open in 10 days or 2 months, who knows with our province of joy

not sure how they do it now, but with the past ownership, they used to blow a much higher concentration of water/air to form an icier crust that resisted melting more, then blew snow on top of that... but yeah, its going to take a few weeks before they have enough snow to even let the groomer out. Opening by xmas will be tight...

in other news, I skied at louise this weekend.. it rawked, they had the top of the world chair running. yup

Yeah...NEVER trust any long-range forecast from the weather network, the only somewhat dependable forecast can be found at weather.ec.gc.ca.
