sibhusky Posted November 27, 2006 Report Posted November 27, 2006 (edited) They had the annual Pray for Snow party here Saturday night and it worked. http://www.bigmtn.com/index.php?a=sod/main http://www.siberianrescue.com/other/Nov2006 We missed the traditional opening on Thanksgiving due to lack of snow. Siblet and her friend climbed up and skied down on Friday, but things were real sketchy. What a change! We open this next weekend. Temps between now and then will be in the single digits.

AtomicSkier Posted November 27, 2006 Report Posted November 27, 2006 I was looking at Big Mtn's website, and saw they weren't opening until later...but w00t! btw sib, do you know what airlines fly into that airport 1/2 from you? It's a 9 hour drove from billings, mt, which is the closet large airport, right? Quote
sibhusky Posted November 27, 2006 Author Report Posted November 27, 2006 Northwest flies in full sized planes. Delta flies commuter planes in. Delta used to fly in full sized planes, but in spite of the fact that they had the biggest increase in Montana at this airport they downsized their operation here. Quote

sibhusky Posted November 27, 2006 Author Report Posted November 27, 2006 (edited) ah ok, thanks, i was looking at US Air, and they only had a seasonal schedule into that airport i think They don't fly in here at all. They must be using someone else's planes. Billings has 25 to 30 flights a day for passenger planes. We have 12 to 15. Compare that to Newark and you will see that there is really not that much difference between Billings and here. There is a cheap flight coming up soon out of Newark: Total Air, Taxes & Fees $373.60 - 1Adult Flight - 1Round Trip Ticket Fri, Dec 08 Depart: Arrive 7:19am 1:31pm Newark,NJ (EWR) to Kalispell/Glacier,MT (FCA) Delta Air Lines Flight371 / Flight4005 Tue, Dec 12 Depart: Arrive 2:15pm 11:41pm Kalispell/Glacier,MT (FCA) to Newark,NJ (EWR) Delta Air Lines Flight4077 / Flight1404 Operated bySKYWEST AIRLINES Edited November 27, 2006 by sibhusky Quote
