OPERATIONAL UPDATE JAN 14, 2013



Due to the effect of the weekends weather on our snow conditions and the drop in temperature to snow making range not forecast until this evening (Jan 14, 2013), we have decided to remain 
Closed for Tuesday Jan 15, 2013 
-Day and Night skiing
to concentrate our snow making efforts on rejuvenating our eastern terrain.
***
Mother Nature can throw a mean curve ball. Until Friday Jan 11, 2013 we had been very pleased with her offerings from a few days before Christmas, cold temperatures and natural snow allowed us to rapidly open terrain for your enjoyment. To date we have already pumped 70% of the water to the snow making system that we were able to pump all of last season...things have gone well considering the late snow making start this fall.
This past weekend saw positive temperatures in the double digits and heavy down pours of rain (mostly overnight Saturday and some last night) which have taken their toll on our overall conditions. We HAVE NOT lost all of our snow however we made the decision to remain closed tomorrow for Day and Night skiing (Tuesday January 15, 2013) to allow us to concentrate our snow making efforts for a prolonged period of time on our eastern terrain (Standard, Bambi and Bunny Blvd.) in order to recover the areas lost and replenish our reserves for the long term. We plan to re-open Wednesday January 16, 2013 for Day and Night Skiing with the following terrain; Standard, Bambi, Bunny Blvd., Ladies Downhill, Ben's Bump and the Vault Terrain Park. From there we will work to re-open the Bowl, Clubhouse Run, Promenade, Piggy Bank and Pete's Elbow.

Daily Lift Tickets will be $20 until further notice!
