Yeah if you’re on the lift, you know what’s going on and evacuation is easily done but if you’re in gondola, you have no idea what is going on and evacuation could take hours....

Able to clear lifts with aux power?Quote:

Was in line as well when they went down. Skied ike absolute horseshit today. Wind blown. Heavy. Wet. Snow.
And that’s what one of the guys from Texas I rode the lift with said so I’m letting “Y’all” know.
Texans will love today.
Silver is very mediocre today.....
Schweitzer was a bummer today, 10-12" yesterday of heavy, then rain on top created a nice 1/2" breakable crust that pushed you into the mashed taters. Some of the lower elevations skied ok, like spring conditions.

Damn Silver was good yesterday. Had the gas pedal smashed all day, Legs are feeling it today. Dumped all day. More snow in the forecast so this weekend should be great.
Your initial report changed. Damn... Maybe I made the wrong choice. I thought it rain overnight when I woke up and it was 35 at the mountain house so we scrapped plans.Quote:

I also think Silver intentionally has the worst conditions reporting in the world, this is my first season back in the inland NW in 13 years, trying to figure the puzzle out.
