Directly from RT website. And from DC Ski

so pretty much Roundtop East?

i feel like the trail count went up overnight. i dont remember skiing 11 trails yesterday. Did they mention one of those trails is in Danielsville? cause, you know, it was a little windy last night.

did you renew Indy? my second year of indy and i still have yet to make it pay out. Indy is such a good deal, but i cant justify it again.

i think that would require them running a compressor. Nobody would see the compressor running, so it doesnt add to the show. Kudos for turning some stuff on, im sure it will go a long way on the FB, but they are just fighting the weather, and the weather is going to always win. i work in a very weather dependent business, and i learned this a long time ago.

i wonder if they are running any of the snow guns that arent in front of the cameras.

They havent even had April day in a long time.

4 pm closing today.

This is awesome. i will bring some pre made warm breakfast goodies.

Pond skimming is March 17th. We are under a flood watch today. And its going to be a little warm next week. Closing March 17th. It makes no sense to make snow after the 17th. Its spring. yes, there might be a few hours where they could blow some Blue Mountain Gak, but its too little, too late. Its spring. its only going to get warmer.

not really, i just wont mentally drain myself wishing for things to come true when its an unlikely situation. i would rather be surprised than disappointing. i just dont think they can push snow that far. lower paradise is going to be the problem, not NMDW.

I really want skiing to go on forever, but im a realist. NMDW has tons of snow. But paradise will be a problem. Razors has tons of snow until you get to the runout before homie stretch. I guess they can start pushing from the sides. Next weekend it will certainly be “experts only”. Lol.

Challenge was bad this afternoon. Weirdly bad. Razors was super fun. Raceway to midway is spicy. They cut midway in half farming snow on it. groomers will need to really put that oscilloscope or whatever to good use to keep some trails open. 24th? LOL. yeah, i’ll be the first to say it.

i saw a pic of RT on the FB this morning, i think from yesterday. shes lookin pretty rough.

Of course, Side and Switch would have still been open if they didn't waste days of blowing on NMDW so they could put features up. pretty much the same argument.

Afternoon sesh, i think. sat and sun.

Gonna be doing a lot of math soon.

If upper main is open this weekend, it will clearly be technical. Cant see much on Side, but i thought that was circling the drain last week as well.

You should really show KSL whats up by getting a pass at Mountain Creek or Shawnee. At the end of the season, they end midweek stuff. Always. nothing new here.

As disappointing as that date is, i would only give like a 15% chance of them being open the 24th. The 17th is circled. major disappointment until that date, and then after that is like WTF. We lost Side, and i would bet other trails will be on life support this weekend. Anyone know the race team schedule?

In my research on the Ikon, you get the rest of this season at resorts owned by Alterra. So, Stratton and Sugarbush in VT. This was based on last years pass, so, there could be some changes this year.

Im gonna need some pretty serious spreadsheets to figure this out. Runs per hour/miles driven X cost of cocoa(x2). There needs to be a lot of columns to break this down properly.

Nailed it.
