Hard to argue with what you are saying.

Twister was the only thing getting serious attention. My opinion....right now they should be hitting Hawkeye, Showcase, Sunway. Openpit. Let's get some farming on Chati. Open something on the darkside. Would love to hear some more knowledgable opinions than mine.

yea. what is up with the snowmaking? it does seem to be a little crappy and today i heard several others sayin the same on the lifts.

if it stays cold after the holidays end, they better hammer that hill.

ORDA has been given a directive from Gov. Paterson to trim its budget another 7 percent on top of the 3.35 percent it cut in May. This brings the total amount ORDA needs to save to more than $900,000. ORDA officials do not yet know what form those cuts will take.

I think we now know what form the cuts are taking!!!

I had my first beer ever in Tannery tonight.

Expand that place...it's a freakin gold mine. A bar 2x the size could make up the 900 Gs for ya. I think I paid ten bucks for a glass of bud and a merlot.

Just don't charge me for parking.

Mother Nature giving it her best shot tonight...about 2 inches down here at 2000 feet:

Today there were blowing on Pine Knot and Uncas.

They dropped the rope on Uncas and it was SWEET.

Anybody there?

EDIT: Tomorrow's plans...Tannery? Wood In?

Someone help me...why blow on Wood In?

Saturday evening they were blowing on village slope and today the website says they are hard at work on Fairview!?
I really don't understand why they didn't make any attempt to open the dark side or north side during the holiday period. The north quad would have been nice on New Years Day when upper sunway was an ice rink.

Start making snow on Rumor!!!!

I don't understand the whole strategy of snowmaking either.

Foxlair - ok I get that. Showcase needs it too.

Tannery is FINE the way it is. Fairview?

Dark Side.
