Anyone (flyk, meats, gt, etc) going to be at basin tomorrow for the opening? It's not exactly super conditions, but I'm going to get my pass and start skiing. Depending on how long the pass process takes I'll probably be on porky by 9:30 or so.
From the press release:
-------------------------------------------
Lifts in operation will be Needles Express Gondola, Middle Bowl Triple Chair, Porcupine Triple Chair, and Powder Puff Magic Carpet. Lifts open at 9:00 AM.
Because of limited access to the bottom, via Bear Hollow and Snow Shoe, we highly recommend you ski or board the upper mountain using the Middle Bowl Triple and the Porcupine Triple.
At the end of your day, simply download the Needles Express Gondola to the bottom.
The Powder Puff Magic Carpet will be in operation to accommodate beginning and low intermediates.
Needles Lodge will have a full service menu for lunch. Earl's Lodge will be serving breakfast rolls, coffee, hot chocolate, and juice.
