Supposedly they put in a lot of snowmaking equipment over the summer of 2004 in the East Bowl, but I doubt they used it last winter. They'll need it this year.
And now the temp has droped and the wind is blowing HARD!
Storm comming?
I bet Rose has a Ribbon of Death open on the 10th. I'm not going to be amazingly psyched to ski it until my cabin opens on Dec 1, though, unless we get some good dumpage.
Yep the price to run off the groomers is high this time of year. But i can abuse myself on groomers too! Mt. rose will have Northwest open and groomed. (Fast with Air) Works for me>Quote:

I'll be there on the 11th, 12th, and 13th. Reservations made. But damn, I hope its more than just Broadway, Stump, and #3. Maybe a human-slalom-course day. Rock skis if its man-made or crust, and wondering if Gondi2 will operate? Maybe Utah the week thereafter if the Sierra get skunked that following week... :eek:
I'll be up for the opener, hopefully Old Man winter shows us his stuff.
I won't be able to make it on opening day, but I plan to be there on Sunday, the 13th.
I'll be there opening weekend. I may go out exploring and scoping later season lines. If I'm on the white ribbon, I'll probably get my pass punched for going too fast.
