^^^ I applaud your optimism
I caught a cold and bailed. Copilot was happy for the excuse, gonna aim for a late spring hood or Shasta trip if either of those ever see snow. Hope it turns around soon for yall

Well, I'm trying to figure out how to get out of an afternoon meeting so I can go play in the snow this afternoon. Looking promising ATM as I sneak a peak at the Bachy webcam.Quote:

Got out for a few hours. Was not worth the FOMO. The snow coming down was just not enough to make much of a difference. Very hard pistes. Probably need 8"-10" minimum of medium density snow to cover up that very hard layer.Quote:

I hope they have Dopp installing a new lift soon. Fuck, it was 1996, it seems like that lift was new recently...
I was sad when they took out Blue and turned the Blue Lodge into a race center

Sometimes you never know what you're going to get so go get it :)

This guy is at least pressuring his boot cuff a bit...
Today was firm but wide open fast riding. Off piste ranged from dangerous to amusingly dangerous
Lol, had to try, huh?Quote:

I’m going to try and rally up to Bachelor Butt in the AM. See if this storm produced any snow overnight.
Was coming down steady after 1pm so might be nice if the wind doesn’t blow it all off.Quote:

Did you see the agenda? I'm not sure how much of it was followed or some of the specifics. It would be a good blog post topic. Maybe they will give minutes now that the TH has happened.
"Season-to-Date Success and Challenges
Mountain and Terrain Update
Managing Our Parking and Visitation
Future Expansion Plans
Guest Feedback and Improvements"
^^^ is the one I wanted to hearQuote:

First one won't blow your doors off but makes a ton of sense from an infrastructure perspective. New lift from Sunrise to between bottom of Vista and top of Bcup.
Next one is further down the road (2027) and is going to be a love/hate kind of thing with people. New Heather chair with top Station above the Twilight entrance...memory is a bit fuzzy on exact top station location.
Also in the plans...Expanding Summer Hiking trails and aerial adventure course, Nordic infrastructure and building, lights for night skiing.
Where will the base of the heathers chair be? Same place or further uphill making more of heathers require using the runout?Quote:

Co-worker was up there for an avalanche clinic recently and said the coverage was good. Not sure how reliable.Quote:

Coverage good but watch for touchy wind slabs. New snow falling on a crust/facet interface.Quote:

If it's in Twighlight bowl. I assume it would be a 2nd chair in the canyonQuote:

Basically serving Twilight thru Half Moon?
Thanks for the heads up.Quote:

Or, is it bottom terminal where Heather is now?
Running to Twilight [basically parallel to SSX but serving lower canyon exclusively and eliminating ho chi min (I noticed now called something else)
If I understand the plan correctly....old chair will come out, base of new chair will be in about the same location as base of old chair, top station will be high enough to give access to Twilight.Quote:

I'd think the top of the new chair should be high enough to allow access to Discovery allowing you to ski back to the base if you wanted.
It's Heather like the plant, no s.
People exiting Stadium will still use it. Hordes are going to horde. I imagine with the new chair, the terrain from Twilight to Lift line will see more use than ever. Maybe PR use will decrease?Quote:

heather goal = "replaced"
no sahale 2.0
Forest Service wasn't happy with Sahale pass 1.0
why did financing method matter to them?Quote:

Today was acceptable... that 4 incher bonded and covered up the icy cruds real good. First runs down moon and half moon were tities. I'm guessing the upper Heather may pop tomorrow.
