Opening day has arrived. I wasn’t as optimistic as to whether we would
be open on Thanksgiving last Saturday,
but with some good temperatures, hard work, a little luck and a foot of snow,
ta da, we are open. It is quite a
business we are in, one day we are planning to open our Mini Golf and adventure
zone because we don’t have any snow, and then we are skiing and riding with
some great conditions.
The snowmaking forecast will be a challenge this coming week
no doubt. It does look like we are in a
quick warm spell through this weekend and into early next week. As we get
through the week, the temperatures begin dropping with what looks like some
much colder weather arriving the first week in December.
So where do we go from here?
When we can make snow, the crew will begin branching out on some of the
upper mountain trails where the temperatures are colder as well as those that
get us some movement off the summit. Defiance will be worked on as it is close
to Upper World Cup and takes some pressure off of World Cup, Sapphire and
Sunburst will be made on as Sunburst gets us towards Escape and into Jackson Gore
and Sapphire is a good trail to work on as we head towards the Green Ridge and
Route 103, Upper Arrow down to Lower Arrow.
Sapphire also gets us to Solitude and Heaven’s Gate. It is important
during the early season to get spread out with skiing and riding so we can make
the experience better for everyone and get terrain open as we head to the
holidays.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. All of us can find something
to be thankful for. Keep your eye on the
web site and you will find the latest news and updates…….
Think snow and some cold weather…….
