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....

Getting started early this year! Not even a week in to their season and patrons are being stranded on lifts. Silvers gonna silver

Schweitzer says: hold my beer!

[GoldMember]

^^ HaHa... I see Sunnyside is on 'unscheduled maintenance' hold. Did you get stuck on it?

[2FUNKY]

mulligan granted. the clock has been reset and I look forward to hearing about the next 45min+ lift closure.

Bwaaa!

No, but the whole mountain went down with a power outage just after their 12:45 snow report update. 8000 Northern Lights customers down--so maybe it's not so much Schweitzer to Silver as Northern Lights to Avista. At any rate, village and all lifts dark around 1. We missed loading the Great Escape by less than a minute.

Able to clear lifts with aux power?

Yeah, they were clearing them one at a time when we called it; looks like they've got enough juice to run two now. Gotta do something on a day like that, I guess, but I'm not sad to have headed back down.

Oh, great....there goes my power at my place....again. That's twice in the past three weeks. Oh well, nothing to rot in the freezer, at least I don't think so. Guess I'll find out tomorrow.

Oh good. Still a long wait with a slow ride.
Beat the crowds out i bet.

Bummer, just don’t open it.

Happyfun Supertime at 49N today!
drifts 24"+ in the usual spots....

shredded schralp, shizzle and rime by noon

[mike]

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.

[mike]

Texans will love today.

[2FUNKY]

Silver is very mediocre today.....

[Falcon3]

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.

[romeo tango]

.... breakable crust ....mashed taters....

sick

[b0ardski]

long snowboards excel in those contritions
150somethings don't stay on top

[2FUNKY]

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.

[SkiLyft]

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.
