[Xover]

Snowbird since yesterday (booboo posted in hidden print in other thread)

[raddam]

does that mean they are opening next week?

Saw that X, stuff is sliding. Be careful out there.

So I guess that means I can't take the Blue Beast up Corkscrew?

It means thatthey have crews on the mountain getting the mountain ready and they have to do control work to protect them. No way Alta is opening before the 18th, they still have a lot of work to do on the new lift.

Heard rumors that Alta might open before the new lift is done. (from a reliable source)

So hucking off lifts in now mandatory??


How can they so that insurance wise if they open and are still doing construction on the hill? Just thinking here.

they could do it fairly easily; just open the back side and put up a closed gate
at the end of EBT or rope off the high T to let us out to 3rds, eagles nest, greeley bowl, etc.

e-mail I got this morning says they are still deciding, but have fallen behind on new lift after getting ahead before the snow came. knowing some of the powers that be, I don't see them waiting until the 18th of friggen Nov. it wouldn't shock me at all to see them open just the backside before Collins was done.

If you think too much, you're gonna get smart. What would this world do with a bunch of smart ski bums?

This from Altabase ...

"No decision has been made as of yet... Check the web site out as the
days go by, any info will be posted there. But if we do decide we can
open early the Albion Basin/Sugarloaf side will open."

Ho has offered to even help me with a lift ticket to Alta since I wussed and went ot the Bird last year on the board. I have riding with him at Hood, but I hope for another run with my Utarted friends at the famed and sacred Alta.
