.. just saw one of my climbing partners who works for Lifts and he said they load tested today and everything passed. He also said they built all the ramps too. So, they are very close.
Will be nice to have that sum-a-biaaaaatch open for the snow we get or don't get this weekend.
pic of day confirms it and this morning's (11/24) snow report says "open for thanksgiving". YA FRICKIN HOO!!!

good to hear.
does anyone know if baldy express is running?
wasn't running yesterday, didn't look over there today though.
13? you heard any different or any more?
Xover man, I love reading your posts. Your giddiness is infectious... I bet you were the kid that woke his parents up at 3 AM on Christmas morning.
Xover doesn't sleep, ever. He recharges somehow but I'm sure he doesn't sleep.Quote:

Perfect, so whenever a magion hears that answer this year we can all visualize KQ chasing you around her bedroom with a toy, MORON!Quote:

Looks like it's just a matter of cleaning up the construction supplies and putting in the mazes.
... that's basically what I heard also [fingers crossed]Quote:

I hope not. Gad II is some of the best storm skiing terrain at the Bird. It does seem like they've had some trouble with it in the past though. My freshman year they didn't open it until around Christmas because of mechanical problems. I hope your friends are full of shit on Gad II. :nonono2: :confused: :fuckyou:Quote:

:eek: that can't be true...no gad2? i hope it's a rumor. :eek:
edit: I remember hearing someone on the tram today talking about a chair falling off, just kind of assumed it was the new lift at Alta, not good old wilber.
I just drove down from Alta and noticed that there are no chairs on Wilbere or Peruvian. Can't be a good sign.
Not trying to hijack but the weather up at Alta sucked. Red Baron better come through..............
FKNA man. That dude promised...Quote:

Now you're getting me all worked up. That Red Baron doesn’t come through this time, I'm sending over some heavy-hitters to get Medieval on his ass. I'm going to pull a full-on Jimmy Supa-Fly Snooka from the top rope. The Indiana Pacers got nothin' on me, RB is gonna wish he had thrown a beer in Detroit over what I got coming down.
In other words, I really hope it snows soon. :cool: (Are we cool?....Yeah, I'm cool)
dood, hes PEGGED!Quote:

careful you don't go through RB's floor; bet he's got enough remods to do without having to add another staircase :pQuote:

Heard my boss mumbling that snowbird is having problems with numerous lifts... Will have more info in the next few days.
This is strictly specutlation, But In my brief history in lift maitnence if you have a gripage problem with one chair on one lift then you Must take all the chairs off that lift and inspect them. Usually you take care of most of this stuff in the summer, but I guess da bird was slacking off a bit this year.
