Garbage conditions today. 50 mm of rain to the Peak overnight. Slush this morning, refreezing throughout the day. More bare patches on the lower mountain. It felt like early May conditions up there today. Not much snow in the forecast. Boooo
On the plus side the rain probably washed away all the buried surface hoar and facets in the snowpack.
(Harmony might open this weekend)
I left yesterday at noon and it was dumping snow all the way down to the valley, but I figured that wouldn't last. Actually some pretty good skiing. I guess I left at the right time. Drive home was a bit soggy.
Not terrible. Trees had snow to 1400m

That was from today?
Hell yeah. A couple more cm’s then forecast. Decent
Yah - surprised me too. Not even windloading on a small discrete aspect. It's just off Green chairQuote:

Does anyone remember when peak alpine opened last Dec 2022? Buddy thinks it was 2nd week of Dec.
I remember Oct/Nov was super dry, then just before Xmas, when Creekside was stalled, we got record snow and cold storms down to sea level.
Peak opening is imminent. My sources say today or tomorrow
Well that should keep ya a bit more busy…….w 10/40sQuote:

GAS court ordered sale pending

Lee,
Can you decipher the lawyer speak here?
They rearranged the company last week and now they’re going bankrupt? Is this the project circling the drain?
Yah they're going bankrupt.Quote:

Basically STRONG BUY
I am not a financial wizard or overly literate when it comes to complex corporate shell games...but reads like Sr. Aquilini's basically are calling the loans from the combined Aqualini/Gaglardi group. Yeah, they were certainly in debt, but is this just elbowing one family out?
Don't want to jinx it for you guys but it looks like Santa might have a treat for you coming...
fingers crossed - time to turn on the taps!!
!ANTIJINX!
It's hard to tell as we don't know who we're the partners in GAS. I suspect you're rightQuote:

But the important stuff (appended agreements which expose the partnership structure) are missing.
We don't even know what assets GAS has to unload.
another friend in the development industry says definitely power play, lol. with the reduced village/development size I wonder if they're just eyeing up all of the reduced pie instead of sharing?
Someone over at GFS on the crack pipe this am? Or hacking my dreams? Thats 6cm an hour for 3 days or something lol. This can't be a jinx cos it can't be real

someone got into the Christmas spirits a bit early over at GFS! GEPS 16 day is also aggressive, but....yeah, not that aggressive
You will tell your grandchildren about that one year where things started slower than ever, and then Ullr blessed all with a gift never seen before, and never seen since.... "an impossible amount of snow," you will say.Quote:

God, it would be great if skiing returned to that ethic, but that certainly hasn't seemed to be the trend.
Anything forecast by the GFS beyond 3 days is a pipe dream. Until it shows up on the NAM I don't believe it.
(Fingers crossed though)
and as a dad of a young child I want a Sea to Sky Cypress/Seymour where we can go night skiing and hack around withough being subject to the insanity of WB all the time. There's so much pent up demand that's so limited by the Vail model, we need something else in the corridor. WB will always be the pinnacle, not sure why they're so focused on protecting a single monopoly in this corridor yet also complaining about how its too busy all the time.Quote:

hope you all catch a break and it snows soon.
I've hiked and biked around Cheam a fair bit. The N faces are couloirs. The skiable stuff is SE and S facing.Quote:
