Hey I was just wondering about how much more snow we need to open Ripcord. I saw it from River Run today and it looked good except for a few scattered rocks and such. Anxious to get some turns on it. Thanks

This has nothing to do with the topic, but you guys should make a sign at the base of the Seasons double saying it can access the Main Base Lodge and Bluebird. I parked at the Sundance Lodge last year for a change. The Tumbleweed lift had a 15 minute wait and the Season lift had none. I didn’t know that Season’s could access the Main Base Lodge, and I wasn’t alone. The wait time on Tumbleweed could be reduced in half, and Seasons will actually see some use if a sign is made.

Free Fall update: We will probably wait until after the rain event on Friday to groom out Freefall. If we were to groom it out now and then it rained, it would be a very firm surface on Saturday when the temperature drops. And then we would have to waste snowmaking to resurface when we could be expanding to Chute and then Timbers/Plummet.

By waiting, all the water can drain out and when we break into those mounds and moguls, for the first time, there should be some good snow in there. Meaning….Saturday could be a lot of fun! That’s the plan – can’t wait to see if it pays off.

Johnny – thanks for the feedback. I would agree. I told everyone that it was the best day of the year under foot and one of the most difficult for visibility. I came in looking like a frozen glazed donut!

Just wanted to say thanks for making the skiing this past Monday as good as it could have been, low temps and a light mist made it difficult to see but the excellant grooming made it pleasure to be there. We were looking like popcicles afterwards but it was well worth it.

Thank you Mount Snow!

Free Fall isn’t open until we can do some grooming and resurfacing. The icing really made it impossible to groom, as it would have been bulletproof. Once it dries up and we can make a bit more snow, it should groom out just fine.

along the lines of Goggles question. Im coming up tomorrow (Whoo-Hoo) and Im curious as to why free fall hasnt been open. Is the trail not skiable or has it just been the wind and the icing screwing things up for you guys? How about Chute?
