Double to Open on Saturday!

It has been another tough week for weather with a substantial rain falling on the mountain on Monday.   Special thanks to all of those who skied all of the natural terrain last weekend.  With that terrain being skied out and packed I actually think the rain helped matters.  We did lose some snow but the added moisture helped set-up a pretty good base once the temperatures dropped.  A little fresh snow on top and things should be pretty good.

We experienced a main water line break in our snowmaking system last weekend as well.  Special thanks to the outside operations crew (Justin, Jimmy, Dana and Lindsey), Jeff Priddle and the guys from Fecteau Excavating for their help in getting that issue resolved.

It was particularly interesting watching a shovel operate on the downhill terrain.  All we need now are some cold temperatures.

The Double will run on Saturday.  I do not expect the top of the Melville under the double chair will be in great shape but it certainly is ski able.  Just not a lot of snow up there particularly near the Amy Lauren Race Start.  Snowmakers will do what they can on Sunday when temperatures return to normal.

We will be moving some of the parking lot snow this morning to the base area to try to fill in some of the ditches in that area.  Need to grab snow from wherever possible.  All runs will be open but it is only the runs off of the Triple and the Slalom that will be groomed.  All other terrain is natural and care should be taken as natural and man-made hazards do exist.  With any luck at all we will see a little snow and fun will be had by all!

See you on the mountain!
