could be. i just wish they'd be transparent about it if that's the case.

eight degrees and it looks like all the guns are off. i dont get it

A lot more open tho when you posted that

Rad Also, a lot of ppl here are from the B i think. The lv is weird to me O shit that's an Alfa lmao

Only places i can think of are near the 476/209 junction

see the comment above yours.

give them widowmaker and vista chair.

@RidgeRacer @JFskiDan heads up if you didn't know. they're saying closed till jan 23

stop. i can only get so excited

you know im not talking about uncontrollable things like avalanches. i'm talking about things that are basics, like lift lines being managed appropriately and lifts being up. if they're going to advertise three lifts, run three if lines are miles out of the corrals. i don't expect perfection but i expect the simple things to be handled.

im dreaming here, but i'd love for their response to this event being some sort of guarantee for advertised large snowfall events. highspeeds will be operational at open. 30% back for each downed lift. sprinkle in some wait time algorithm where a third lift might not be required. no managed lines at open - 20% back no vip lines at open - 10% back one can wish

its actually way more impressive than i thought.

crowds, sure i think it had a decent impact. every possible reason doesn't explain the stopped lifts tho

is this a mistake?

I think their book looks like this 1. Make sure BMR is catered to 2. Is the paid parking ok? 3. Hows the magic carpet on frontier alley, is it ready yet? 4. Check on the lifts at the bottom, they're probably fine tho. 5. Profit

yeah that was pretty amazing someone posted screenshots here from inside the snowcat that had a display with that info. i'd been wondering what it was. nice to know now

here's the problem. they learn about it in the short term. the next day jd was on the radio asking about all kinds of shit (like getting challenge prepped in case of crowds, asking time and time again about the VIP lines, etc). but it takes months, sometimes YEARS for snow like that to come around again. by then, anything they'd learned has been forgotten

everywhere was gonna be a shitshow. thats what anyone would expect when there's snow forecasted. the issue i have is that, seeing there would be this shitshow, having one of three lifts (the quad was advertised as 'open' in both the preliminary conditions report and the actual conditions report) it mind boggling. it doesn't matter if there's ice or shit or whatever. get a crew there early and make sure its operational. i'd have been way more content waiting in a 20 min line as opposed to a 60 min line. now throw in chairs being sent up with singles. then not having the VIP line - tbh - whether or not it'd have actually helped things i have no idea. my guess is that it wouldn't have been worthwhile unless someone was grouping chairs. you'd be fighting 7 other gates. one thing i'm not hearing much about is the parking, which is surprising anyway crowds - expected piss poor management when one knows that big crowds are coming - sadly, at blue... expected.

i hear sleet. rain incoming.

i think so. this one

mine is still out from yesterday. didn't need it but not putting it away at this point

when i finally went to the quad, the VIP gate was roped off, like orange tape in an X shape across it. photos of the six showed a traffic cone with a pole sticking up out of it.

'do you want to set up challenge as a backup today' 'yes'

lol
