Yea uhhhh... theres only 20" and there's no chance of that significantly changing before 11/20....

The real question is this going to make Alta push back now...
Also not a single snow gun firing at solitude.
20 inches of fluff on top of wet dirt isn't enough to open anything. They're just scared of the COVID conga line for the WROD.Quote:

This is a bummer, but I guess beggars cant be choosers. I'm relegated to dawn patrols most of this season and was looking forward to some Collins fitness laps the next week.

The euro is showing us getting significantly less snow. Hoping the GFS turns out to be the right one :)Quote:

If Alta is the only place in either of the canyons forecasted to open 11/21 then perhaps not due potential overcrowding issues.Quote:

I read somewhere that they're performing snowmaking repairs, which is the reason for the delay. Not sure if they ran into problems recently or what? Non-covid related.
Is this what Mike is thinking?Quote:

Ill be getting out on Veterans Day if any one else is heading up. Be nice to say hello from a socially distant perspective!
Booked via ParkWhiz a couple of minutes before 9am this morning — three days in early January and got confirmation emails for each.Quote:

Edited for time
Are you referring to outside of 8am-4pm or has there been an update to Collins being closed to uphill all together?Quote:

Heard Soli's main water pump for snow making went down and is something like a week out to get a new one. No man made till it is replaced.
A reason to ski Brighton early.
