Expand You guessed correct no inversion..now let’s watch do it’s magic…the next 60 hours+ gonna be crucial..every degree drop is a positive one…36 in the A..29 at mount pocono. Aggressive start.

Just cause KSL moved in doesnt mean old habits wont go away immediately. On 11/28/2023 at 10:37 AM, toast21602 said: odd to see everything shut off on Main Street... Expand I have a theory on this. They had some type of issue that goes along with the digging they did on Vista, and couldnt run guns on Vista, so move to plan B, which is get main street open. then whatever got fixed, and now back to plan A, which is gettting Vista open. I feel they would favor Vista, for slope and lodge access, over Main. Gotta sell those hot chocolates. Hopefully what is down on Main doesnt go to waste before they can get back to it.

DiMe Posted November 28, 2023 Report Posted November 28, 2023 Well with all the shitty news tonight of the opening day pushback to Saturday and the apparent mid week closing. I present some good news in that at least they dont have to shut down at all during daylight hours today. Quote

I would bet that more than 50% of the sale of gloves, goggles, hats and lip balm are to tubers. Its part of their business, so be it. just stop looking over there. Get a Little Caesars Hot and Ready, split it with @Benm and chill. You know as well as i do, if they dont make snow on it right now, they wont be able to make the 7th opening. After like Thursday, it will probably be a week before they get snowmaking temps back. 3 1 Quote

It can be costly if you don’t have employees who pay attention. https://www.law.com/verdictsearch/verdict/dangerous-snow-tubing-slope-led-to-fracture-alleged-lawsuit/ I wonder if they will be upset if I ski down the tubing lanes while looking at idle ski lifts 🙃☹️ Quote
