The new lights on Coming Soon look cool...sorta whiteish and less orangey. Remains to be seen what it'll look like in person but I like it a lot from my 3rd favorite Bette Middler song...From a Distance. 

Is Wind Beneath my Wings #1?  That song gives me goose bumps

Nothing on challenge / razors. Can't tell if they're blowing on paradise or coming soon, I'm guessing paradise.

Surprised they still have them going since temps are marginal at best. Crunch time to hit their announcement for next Friday.

Thanks for the update for those of us who don’t have access to their webcams.  One more night of snowmaking and they’ll be locked and loaded for Friday. They should be able to blow the next three nights.

I saw the lights on at bear creek.

That’s amazing that they are blowing on paradise. Let’s hope this is another season where the valley is open fast.  Last year it opened only a week after opening day. Some years it’s 3-4 weeks 

 

thanks for posting BenM

I think they'll be ok. Valley has a lot of work to go though. Guy at skii shop said they're still on for Fri.

These pictures are V good for stoke.

They're shutting down now it seems. Kind of sucks because I was hoping they weren't running for the pics.

Not a bad run for the temps. They prob find a couple more nights this wk. 

Can't wait to get down on fridayyy

Went up today to pick up my kid’s pass and look for @Benmbut only found the pass. Impressive amount of snow and can confirm Paradise has snow. Valley open on opening weekend?! 

Under 6 passes changed as others stated before. No more tubing included, cost $25, and are not good at CB.

Dropped off my and Pops skis for a wax n edge, and snapped a couple. Mini -whales on valley school. Most of the valley snow is the base near the lift. Could see some snow up on the look out below intersection of Paradise and Stupid Name.

@saltyant this is getting good 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Guns are back on..the temperature dropped way faster than predicted..night #4 of snowmaking let’s go!!!!

[enjoralas]

Couple people out there making first tracks— at least, foot tracks

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Tomorrow night looks like really good snowmaking weather..cold and dry and light winds.  Overnight tonight is marginal but they may blow some later on.  Anyway after tomorrow night theyll be locked and loaded for opening day and looks like nice weather for the opener..like mad Goldilocks nice!!!!  High five for stoke pass it down. 

[toast21602]

Really wish they would fix that valley cam...

It is odd that not all of the fan guns on Vista are on.

Edit: The snowmaking crew just came through and turned them all on. The snowmaking assault continues.

am i wrong in thinking that overnight lows in the mid 30s thurs into fri will soften things up and make conditions better for grooming? 

or is it the opposite?

Let's hope so.  Plus the warmer Friday temps should help as well.

It wouldn't be an opening day without a generous serving of cookies!
