Ski Posted December 23, 2005 Report Posted December 23, 2005 I kind of expected some crowds today, since schools are out and a lot of people have off from work, but we pulled into a nearly empty lot around 11am and it was just as empty at 3pm... I guess final grooming was being done on Spike and maybe Switch. The Iron Horse was roped off the whole time we were there. Quote
Schif Posted December 23, 2005 Report Posted December 23, 2005 You say that as if its a bad thing. Maybe there is no one there because Montage doesn't have a website anymore. All the people from the city think it closed down. Quote

IDK...it just doesn't look good. Quote

It looks from the pics to have some extra straps and buckles. Quote
Sno Mountain Skier Posted December 23, 2005 Report Posted December 23, 2005 SKI, Ironhorse was open at 1:00 and so was switch. And in the park right now they are doing final grooming and installing boxes for tommorow morning. I cant wait im gettin first run down it. The one setup is really nice, I think it s a channel gap, but dont no the right name. And all of the lips look really nice. Quote
Ski Posted December 23, 2005 Author Report Posted December 23, 2005 Cool, MS, I guess I missed them taking down the ropes. And, POC, it's just a regular Columbia...the straps are for a harness that has a handle so I can pick her up and put her on the lift. It's the last piece from the Apple Rise System that we still use.

Schif Posted December 24, 2005 Report Posted December 24, 2005 How has the snow quality at Montage been? I'll havn't been up there yet due to lack of terrain, but I'll be logging a bunch of days next week at good ol Montage. Quote
Ski Posted December 24, 2005 Author Report Posted December 24, 2005 It's really run the range from great to crap, just depends on when you hit it. Today was soft snow and just fine, but we were just up top. Coverage has been great, though, pretty much edge to edge, without any stones or anything. I'm pretty sure that even today was still a $20 ticket, which is a great deal for skiing Boomer and Cannonball. Quote

adrian Posted December 24, 2005 Report Posted December 24, 2005 i had just boomer and cannonball on wednesday, and i think it was definitely worth it. cant wait for smoke and lighting tomorrow. i hope for iron horse terrain, but if it wasnt open today, then tomorrow doesnt look good for that. Quote

The only reason why I would say you wrong is because they didnt have the boxes setupyesterday, and thats what they did all night tonight. But if the park isnt open who cares, because smokes first headwall is great. Quote
adrian Posted December 24, 2005 Report Posted December 24, 2005 do you mean wrong that it was worth it or that it will be closed tomorrow? im confident about my perception on the first count, and i hope i am wrong on the second count. Quote
Sno Mountain Skier Posted December 24, 2005 Report Posted December 24, 2005 Ya im talkin abput 2nd part. Quote
