Pizza Wedge

Pizza Wedge (2/10)

  1. I have been kept out of the loop at the mountain...Did they get the zaugg to cut the 22' pipe yet??
  2. As of Sunday night at Closing snowmaking said they didnt start it yet; nor had plans this week to do it, but it can change in a moments notice.
  3. Conditions were pretty good today we only got about an hour or so of sleet and then it turned into snow. The mountain blew snow all day and the patrol is hoping to open spike up tomorrow or tuesday. Luckily the forcast they had for rain at around 6PM didn't happen. Even knowing the wind was wicked at times all in all today wa good. And it can only get better from here.
  4. I am not saying you are negative Melissa and sorry if I offended you, there are some people on here that only want to bash sno mountain. It's their second year running a ski resort and to boot a resort that was in horrible shape. They inherited a mess- this year they have a new general manager and one who knows what he's doing. They inherited bad equiptment and the facilities really needed upgrading. THE SNOW SITUATION: The fact was they thought they were going to have more open but when it came down to it they didnt get the cover they wanted to be safe enough to let people ski on it. I would rather ski on fewer trails with good quality that poor quality with some thin/bear spots. Yeah jumping and saying 15 trails wasnt right but its what he was informed and then it changed. Trail status and situations change. Im glad they opened this weekend and we didnt have to wait till mid January like last season.They were down a pump and that reduced some of the water able to be pumped. They will improve as soon as the weather starts to cooperate again
  5. The new trail map isnt public yet they have a trail named rattler off of upper fast track and will make the glades between the two legal to ski. Then a trail down next to cannonball and a few small ones. I actually dont think what they did with mainline and ran it right to the buny hill is bad, at least we dont have to huff it up to the bunny hill. Give them a little more time and im sure they will be up and running and some people who are negetive can eat our sno.
  6. They are not blowing on fast track so the new trail off of that one on the left of the main face wont be open and the one on the northface isnt ready either as far as i know
  7. Sorry for the late reply I missed your post (I wasn't blowing you off) Its a mixed answer we are getting, the mountain says to have all staff there for an 8 am opening. The good thing is its opening on a saturday and there will be a large ski patrol staffing that can get everything into place. They dont let the patrollers on the hill till opening day. I say 8am but mgmt has said opening between 8 and 10am for opening times but will remain open till 10pm
  8. Their plans if all goes well in the next two days is: Upper mainline above the construction area Possibly Highball Spike Spur Whistler Cannonball and maybe, just maybe boomer and/or smoke Dont hold me to this just what I heard from snowmaking/Grooming
  9. If sno opens as planned YES they will be open...The patrol already has their staff scheduled for new years eve and day
  10. I'm not 100% sure about that but I know the park crew from Planet is there
  11. It's looking good- They are blowing as much as they can. Pretty much most of the mountain except for runaway,fast track, easy street and the lower part of mainline. Cannonball and smoke look good
  12. the conditions page http://www.snomtn.com/conditions/
  13. Sno gets most of its business weekend and nights. The plan is to open saturday and start night skiing that night. This year they are opening 1/2 hour earlier (8 instead of 8:30) 30 minutes more to ski the fresh untracked snow. I love making the first run down and seeing my fresh tracks.
  14. This year Sno's Hours are 8am-10pm
