KCSKI Posted January 3, 2012 Author Report Posted January 3, 2012 You are a clown. Everyone posting in here wants to hear the good news Sno has about its finances. Until then, people are going to bust your balls and call you out. December has come and gone, tell us already. Be satisfied that we are open and progressing in a very difficult season weather wise..and furthermore, financing is not my area of operations..that is left up to others. I was told all is good, and I leave it at that....so...you will have to as well for I have not the info you are looking for. Now, can we move past this and try to figure out a way to make it snow...a lot? Quote
KCSKI Posted January 3, 2012 Author Report Posted January 3, 2012 As of this morning the only slopes that were not being hit were Upper & Lower Fast Track & Upper Runaway..along with Spike...now that might have changed since I was up there this morning as I know they will switch to different slopes...wind, weather...sunlight..as the day goes on. Also, and I know tubing isn't a big issue here but they are hammering that as well along with the Shuttle Lift loading area. This might give you a better idea..I shot this this morning at around 9am: http://www.facebook.com/SnoMountain#!/photo.php?fbid=10150569363051138&set=a.337281111137.199266.288781601137&type=1&theater Quote

fluffy Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 Glad to have you back KCSKI. I'm really looking forward to my visit to Sno later this season. Hopefully by the time I get out there everything will be open. You're the spokesman for the mountain so you have to press the bosses for some info to share. I'll believe that your financial situation is good, but can you give us any incite into what improvements or future projects are in the works to make Sno better? Quote
KCSKI Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Posted January 4, 2012 Fluffy for President!!!! Lol..diplomatic guy ain't he? Quote

I'll believe that your financial situation is good, but can you give us any incite into what improvements or future projects are in the works to make Sno better? Glad to be back, and again..just been crazy for me the past few weeks. Right now I think all ski resorts are just concentrating on getting conditions improved on with this weather we keep having. As far as financials, you are right..we're good and proof of that is simply, we're open, snow is being blown by the ton atm...and like a lot of businesses, we all survived the worst recession in a long long time. Also, I know it's really small stuff, but look around the mountain a bit, mainly personnel...lifties all outfitted the same now, mountain operations personnel looking more professional....rails and park features being redone as far as appearance...little things right now, but they mean a lot. As far as major stuff....I'm sure there is a list, but as of yet I haven't been clued into any "Hot" item. When word comes down on something and the mountain wants it known, I'll be the first to scream it out here. So...with that said...all the doomsayers have yet again been proven wrong..we're here, we're open....lol..yes, Long Haul is running and will run Thursday thru Sunday once conditions allow..we have the 4/$50 lift deal once again...we have a mid week special we're fine tuning but should be announced shortly. Right now all I can say is please come up this weekend if you can, give us a chance to prove to you that we're on the upswing of things. Most of you will notice the mood of everyone that works here now...we know we're good and now can concentrate on the future with confidence. Quote
toast21602 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 What will be open Friday? I might head up. Quote
KCSKI Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Posted January 4, 2012 ^ Hmmmm.....what I'll do is get a condition report as early as possible and I'll let you know. Hopefully ALL of the Northface and I know most here are beyond beginner, all our green & blues. Quote
KCSKI Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Posted January 4, 2012 ^ Yes it is...and...for the 8 years I've been employed I NEVER had that issue, even when I was a liftie. Quote
fluffy Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 Fluffy for President!!!! If elected President my first act in office will be to appoint Doug as Secretary of Steeze. Quote
KCSKI Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Posted January 4, 2012 What will be open Friday? I might head up. http://thetimes-tribune.com/news/cold-snap-to-clear-out-about-as-quickly-as-it-came-in-1.1252752#axzz1iVNAMRex this just in the paper this morning...covers us and Elk Mtn about the cold weather and trails opening for this weekend.

fluffy Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 Hey KCSKI - do you remember a couple of lifties at Sno named Frank and James? Frank was an older guy. James was younger, but he seemed a little slow. They were a team....worked together, lived together, etc. Ring any bells? Are they back working lifts for Sno? Quote
KCSKI Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Posted January 4, 2012 Not to my recollection..and, since it's a personnel thing I wouldn't discuss it here...kinda private. Quote
fluffy Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 Not to my recollection..and, since it's a personnel thing I wouldn't discuss it here...kinda private. I'm not asking you for a reference. Geezus. They worked at JF a few years ago. They said they had worked at Sno for several years before. Quote
KCSKI Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Posted January 4, 2012 ^ I know you're not..I just don't like to discuss that sort of thing. Quote
KCSKI Posted January 5, 2012 Author Report Posted January 5, 2012 http://www.snomtn.com/index.php/events/snow-report/ Guns still on...looks like we're gonna be real close to a full mountain (exceptions would be Upper Runaway & Fast Track, Glades..and maybe one or two smaller trails) come Saturday. Quote
KCSKI Posted January 5, 2012 Author Report Posted January 5, 2012 Doing pics tonight for the NASTAR Races...and random mountain shots as I stroll around, so come on up..or...save it for the weekend, looks like we're headed for a good one. Quote
KCSKI Posted January 5, 2012 Author Report Posted January 5, 2012 Just posted up on the Sno website & FB..update so far for the weeeknd: Sno Mountain made snow around the clock for 3 days and the ops crew did a great job making mountains of snow everywhere. All open terrain was completely resurfaced and conditions are perfect heading into the weekend!!! The bumps on Boomer and White are getting rave reviews as you are able to work the kinks out on the Boomer bumps before progressing to White Lightning for a REAL challenge. Smoke was buried with mountains of powder and look for it to open early Saturday morning. Hi-Ball, Baby Moose, and additional teaching terrain will also open giving us up to 20 trails this weekend! The trails will be serviced by 6 lifts – 4 aerial and 2 surface lifts. Snow Tubing will be OPEN on Saturday @ 9am for your enjoyment. So get off the couch and get outside this weekend @ Sno Mountain!!! Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted January 5, 2012 Report Posted January 5, 2012 It's good to hear that the mountains are finally getting some terrain open... With Christmas being subpar, they will need to have an awesome MLK weekend... Quote
KCSKI Posted January 5, 2012 Author Report Posted January 5, 2012 ^ Yeah..it's been tough...really tough..on everyone, resorts, skiiers...shops, so MLK needs to be prime. Quote
KCSKI Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Posted January 6, 2012 ^ Have some faith in the Snow Gods. For the "diehards"...I'm doing a photo shoot on White Lightning this Saturday at 11am so come on up. Quote
