I wonder if they have been blowing on lazy.  

I saw a picture and it looked like a yes, might have been on here. I'll try to find it. I'm guessing it's Tuts all the way across to Strawberry Short cut with Lazy to LL. Hopefully they throw Falls in there too.

Im good with a trade of Midway/lower main for lazy tbh.  

Midway to lower is a fav run, but early season not as much.

I sort of like when it’s lazy with no falls but I’m a bit contrarian..

Are there guns going on upper main?  Its kinda looks like it but it could also be a troptical illusion.

Looks like the fan gun at MW & LMS is blowing snow.
Also looks like there may be some small piles on LMS by the guns?

Didn't notice anything on Falls when we were up there on Saturday, but there's been a lot of time since then. They also said they upgraded the guns on lower Sidewinder in the off-season, do they could be going for Lazy to that if they blew on Lazy

👍  Let the ground cool down and develop somewhat of a frost line before moving to other areas. 

This morning reminded me of the one good week last year that they had for snowmaking. DW / NM area was a fog bank. This morning there was an inversion with little wind . 
 

Wondering what the final opening day trail total will be?

They should just say wtf they're doing or trying to do. 

It's all so tiresome.

I think it'll be pretty good tbh. 

What i keep forgetting about is the new guns/heads. I'm hoping it makes a noticeable difference in the snow quality. 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Guess I’m not the only one checking out the webcams.  This is just incredible stuff to see. This morning it was below 20 in the A…upper 30s in the afternoon felt pretty nice.  

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

They could easily open tomorrow or Wednesday but the juice isn’t worth the squeeze..build up that base expand the terrain. The guy who runs snowmaking and mountain operations doesn’t mess around…high five to the snowmakers out in the cold

I’m guessing 17+ trails 4-6 routes. Gonna be a real nice one. The new Blue is spoiling us early season. No upper lot Main Street chair mumbo jumbo. The Chinese downhill is fun but love the cruising options for opening day and people spread out more.

I was late last year and did the upper lot, winning the Chinese downhill last year was easy passing the Boarders with their hippity hop start.
 Hopefully I’ll make it on time this year. 
 

And looking like a No Cookies conditions.

We’ll see. The cookies usually come out when they groom the night before. But fingers crossed. There were a few epic rock surfing days on lazy especially last year.

You love sitting on the back of your skis for that extra boost.

IDK. I guess if you wanted to try it, would be worth taking a day off from work. 

[Dirtwolf]

This whole time I thought we only had one BP. whoops.

[Schif]

The friend intro package doesn't mention a lift ticket, so I'm going to assume to use it you'll also have to burn one of your buddy passes.
